is the key blade replaceable or is it integrated into the plastic ?

It is integrated into the plastic, which I prefer. I think the dealership charged $10 to cut the key for me. Works great.

Key blade is not replaceable it's part of plastic and will need to be laser cut

It's integrated into the plastic. I wish I would have known before I ordered 2 of them.

I got this thinking that I could replace the key blade with my old key and I couldnt. I tried taking it to honda and they wouldn't cut me a new key beings I didn't by it from them. So I pretty much wasted money on this.

no, it is not replaceable. you must have a locksmith cut a new key for you.

Yah, it is sold as a universal type replacement blade, with mounting holes that accommodate most brands. Make sure you get the right length.

The plastic sheath probably can be removed, but it certainly will not be replaceable after it has been removed. Mine was a tad loose. Beware, the pin that holds the adjustment mechanism together fell out of mine after minimal use. Stanley said they would replace it after I spent more on postage to return it than the wrench cost me to begin with. I just went with another brand.

Yes you can use the old part in this key. In fact I had bought it because my plastic piece had broken. I put the old electronic parts in this new shell. The metal key though is glued hard to the shell so I had to have the key cut out to match the old one (Honda dealer cut it for free). Nevertheless quite happy in the end, worth buying.

when I replaced mine, one of the keys was the screw holes/tabs along the top. If you have 2 or 3. might want to get to that point to take a look before you order.

yes, just a key case with uncut blade, no chips inside, you need to cut the blade in your local locksmith, take the internal electronics (include immobilizer/transponder chip) from original remote and place them to our key shell, then it is OK! There's no programming needed

The shell can be taken apart to change the insides (as long as you know how to put the flipping mechanism back together), or you can have a locksmith change out the keyblade. Thank you!

The only metal is the latch itself, key is taped to outside of plastic housing. I am fairly sure all of the valve assembly is plastic also judging from the way the one I replaced was broken.

I suggest you pop the handle out. its really easy just remove the screw and they come out. in the rear of the handle there is a spring attached to plastic retainer and the plastic loop that attaches to the door metal bar mechanism. 95% certain that the plastic part is broken ,most of the times it is. if you need to replace them you will NOT need other parts.

No. The blade is just covered with plastic vallet with the button. I keep it like this in the box.

I bought a current one and had to "modify" it somewhat with a pocket knife. It works fine now.

Yes, It's a direct replacement. Only difference it has a plastic handle, but works fine.

That seemed to be the case when I first received it...now that it has been in use for over a year, that has changed and I can now remove the key. Use has worn down whatever was restricting the key from being removed.

It's not going to break if you drop or crush your keys. You wouldn't be able to pry stuff with the blade though. It is all metal.

I have not had to replace the key! However I would think you can! I Also looked up replacement key for the cut off switch and did find one.

The blade is basically a heavy razor blade that is replaceable. I am using a serrated blade in my knife. I would say yes.

the blade on the new unit is integrated within the case(actually it was also on your original key before braking), so if you want to remove the blade it would damage. Sometimes only the back of the key is damage in which case you may probably change only the back to your old key
