The dealrship sent my package back and I paid $125 at the dealership. I would like to add an extra $1.00. The company reportedly told me that those keys were too soft to be cut with their machine.
As a matter of fact, it's the control that comes with the key and a base to make the key. I personally like having control over my life. As of yet, I have not had any problems with it nor have I changed the battery. I have nothing but positive things to say about it

The dealer dealt with it. I had no problems using these on my Honda Pilot 2007. When my original batteries finally went bad, replacing them with new ones did not work. About a week apart, I ordered 2 of these keys (2 of their keys each). These replicas look and feel just as good as the original Hondas, without the Honda logo on them. As I didn't want to risk taking it to a locksmith, whose prices for cutting and programming were similar to the dealer, I decided to instead take it to a local locksmith. When I told my dealer that it wasn't an original Honda key, they snickered at me. This would cost $18 (in addition to $60 in programming charges). They ask for $60 for theirs vs. $18 for these. Despite their assurances that I would not be guaranteed programming and cutting, I told them to go ahead with As you know, the FCC numbers match up with the original keys and the wireless signal matches up with the key as well, so it works just fine. The two keys were programmed for approximately the same price (its charges were for about an hour of labor) and they cut the keys for $5 apiece. This is a free review. I was not compensated to write it. It makes me mad when dealerships overcharge me on everything. I'm just a normal Prime member.

What you think you are seeing is not what Please allow me to Earlier this year, my key fob went through a crack to the point where the metal key was nearly separating from the The outer plastic shell has been replaced with a new metal key and the metal key is kept. Then this is not what you're looking for. This plastic fob has no key within it and cannot be replaced with another. Furthermore, the instructions included in the package or available online do not provide instructions on removing the "chip" from the old In addition, there is no instruction for programming the remote, which is what makes the car start. It MUST be in the key for your car to start. Here they are on this page, but there isn't really any emphasis on their presence on that page. There was no real disaster here. I literally dug the chip out of the old housing and stuffed it into the new one. I gave it two starts instead of one because I didn't lose all hope. It was the local locksmith who was able to duplicate my old metal key into the slug that is molded into this new housing for me. After that, I reprogrammed the remote control. Now everything works like a charm. should state that you need to locate and preserve the chip from your old key fob as well as that you'll need your old key to create a duplicate out of the slug on the new key The product description does not make it clear at all.
One of our factory keys is worn and busted to the point in which the key barely stays in the fob, and even then only if we liberally use tape to hold it Honestly, it was a pretty sad situation with a poorly designed key (Honda shame on you). I am very pleased with this replacement key! It is true that you have to swap the innards of the remote control, but it is If you don't realize it, your original key has a small piece of plastic or metal embedded inside, about 3/8" long, that you will need to pry out and put By using this part, you can avoid having Honda reprogram the chip in the replacement key, thus saving you a lot of money.
As I was searching for replacement CR1616 batteries, I grabbed the spare key to use while I looked for a new battery, I discovered that my second key also had a dead fob. In fact, I found that the second fob had stopped working when I received new batteries. I found this on Amazon and decided to get one to replace the damaged module within the spare key after seeing what a dealer or parts store wanted for a replacement. In a few days I received the key, and after searching for and downloading the programming instructions from the seller website, per enclosed instructions, it worked. I've been travelling for work and personal reasons for a few weeks so I didn't get around to this for a few weeks, but the weekend I returned home, the original key with a fresh battery went dead for good as well. From the 2 dead original equipment keys I had, it seemed like 11+ years was all you could get from them. So I pulled out this replacement, printed out the programming instructions, then after about three attempts I got the sequence right and got the key fob programmed. I was really impressed with the results. My old key had an electronics module inside that needed to be replaced, so I removed the casing and replaced the module. Here is where the only issue occurred, as the fit just wasn't The module had to be seated into the old key casing with a bit of extra pressure and then I found that my buttons were stuck. It just took a few seconds to pop out the module and spin a letter opener in each of the 2 round button openings to ream out the holes a bit, refit the module, and everything is working smoothly now. In comparison to some other alternatives, this item is a fraction of the cost and it has worked flawlessly since we programmed it a couple of days ago. Upon receiving a second one, I will retrofit my spare key with one of these. Bringing it back from the dead would be just as beneficial.
