I called a couple of locksmiths listed on www.autolocksmithfinder.us, and every one of them asked more than what the dealer charges. So save your time, just go to the dealer.

Some remotes and vehicles require diagnostic programming and you will need to visit your local locksmith or dealer to have your remote programmed to your car using diagnostic equipment. We recommend locksmiths over dealers if possible. A locksmith is less expensive... If you are in the USA please go to: www.autolocksmithfinder.us for a locksmith in your area.

Yes. I had 2 take mines to the dealer after I tried a locksmith & they couldn't set it. I paid like $65 for them to do it & they ran a check on it for recalls & fixed them free of charge.

There is a vehicle specific chip housed with the buttons that must be programmed by the dealership. While I don't know for sure if you can buy one from a 3rd party retailer, I can share a few tid bits of info.1. Honda wont guarantee any key to work for you unless bought from them.2. The dealership can absolutely provide you with a new one, but we are talking $100-200 price range.3. If you do find a new one 3rd party, you will have to still take it to the dealership and be overcharged. There is no way of getting around being rippednl off by your local Honda dealer in this case. If you bought the vehicle direct from them you can potentially negotiate a discount. There is a vehicle specific chip housed with the buttons that must be programmed by the dealership.

If you can get it programmed, it fits the key slot. I got mine cut by Ace hardware for only a few dollars, and tried programing it with the few different methods, and software purchased from Amazon, but could not make it work. Several locksmith's want to charge an average of $70 to program it.

I bought mine as a used condition. It works fine on my 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX and programming was easy.Good luck!

If you have the two keys that came with your car you can program it yourself if you go that way just take the key blank anyplace that cuts keys and they can cut it for you. If not you have to go to dealer and it between $75 and & $100 However they don't like to do it they will most likely tell you that it could not be programed so you will buy the key blank from them at a cost of just over $300

I couldn't get the key out. I ended up transferring the chip and electronics over to the shell and honda cut the key. Not cheap for the cut, but a whole lot less than a new key.

I programmed it for my 5sp 2000 accord the fully loaded one. Think it's ex or le something like that. It took me 5 mins and yes mines had the Honda logo on it.

I used for a 2005 Accord and fit well.You must transfer chip and transponder from your old key and cut the new one on a locksmith.

I had to get a professional locksmith to program the key to my car which was a little expensive. Once he programmed it, it worked great.

No, don't buy it. They have to cut it to "try" and program the key. My car would not start and the company would not refund me the money for the cutting and programming.

in my opinion and that's way too much just to program the key, he's probably sore that he's not getting the sale from the key as well. I would check around at a few other dealers and see if anybody will program it for cheaper for you. In my case it was the same dealer, that i leased my vehicle from charged me only 70-80 dollars to have the key programmed I think in total for the key and programming at my local dealer I ended up paying around 128 to 130 and that also included to have the key cut. Just a word of advice that the key isn't cut exactly like it is out on normal key shop they use these jagged edges looks like stairs almost to do a rough outline of your key so it's not the greatest but it does work

I had mine cut for $2.19 at Ace Hardware. In and out of the store in less than five minutes, and the cut was spot-on. However, I live in Houston, so there are also locksmiths everywhere that also could have done it (though probably not as cheap). Whomever you asked likely thought something special was required to cut this key, but all you have to do is turn it over and cut it twice.

only if you can find someone to cut the key, at a reasonable price. most places wants you to purchase their over priced key, and the dealer's will program and cut at their regular rate.

Any locksmith can cut this key for amtter of few dollars, if you have 2 working keys then you can program this yourself. if you only have 1 working key then you must visit dealer for programming thanks MR Remotes
