Honda key and fob replacement in Vancouver

Honda is the make we cut most keys for in this city, and the split is simple. A blade transponder key for an older Civic, Accord, CR-V, Pilot or Odyssey is $180-$280 cut and programmed. A proximity smart key for the newer Civic, Accord, CR-V, HR-V and Pilot is $280-$420. All keys lost starts from $180.

The newer cars use a high-security sidewinder blade, which needs a different cutter from the one most shops carry. We carry it, so the key is cut at the car rather than ordered. The van comes out from the shop at 4105 Macdonald St, and you get the arrival time when you call. Published bands are on the price list, and the car key replacement page covers the rest.

Honda key facts at a glance

The details we check before quoting a Honda key.

  • ImmobiliserHonda's immobiliser (HISS) has been standard on Canadian Hondas since the late 1990s, so every key needs a chip written to the car, not just a cut blade.
  • Blade profilesHO01 and HO03 edge-cut blades on the older cars, the HON66 high-security sidewinder on most cars from the mid-2000s.
  • Transponder chipID46 on the 2000s cars, then the Honda "G" chip on most models from about 2013. The chip letter is stamped on many original key heads.
  • Proximity fobsSmart fobs carry a hidden emergency blade. If the fob battery dies, that blade still opens the driver door.
  • Programming routeThrough the OBD port at the car, with a working key present for a spare or by reading the immobiliser when every key is lost.

Honda models, years and key types

Where each Honda sits on the blade to proximity cutover.

Civic

Blade transponder through the ninth generation, proximity from the tenth. The Civic is also the Honda whose ignition wafers wear first.

Accord

Blade transponder on the older cars, proximity from the ninth generation. Sidewinder blade on the recent ones.

CR-V and HR-V

CR-V runs the blade key until the current generation then moves to proximity. HR-V has been proximity since launch here.

Pilot, Odyssey, Ridgeline and Passport

Blade transponder on the older vans and trucks, proximity on the current ones. Sliding-door and tailgate functions are tested with the key.

Fit, Insight, Element and CR-Z

Blade transponder throughout, with flip keys on some years. Broken flip springs are repaired the same visit.

What a Honda key costs, dealer or locksmith

Published figures only. A Honda dealer key is ordered to the dealership, which means the car has to get there.

Blade transponder key

$180-$280 cut and written to the immobiliser. Older Civic, Accord, CR-V, Pilot and Odyssey.

Proximity smart key

$280-$420 for the newer Civic, Accord, CR-V, HR-V, Pilot and Ridgeline.

Spare beside a working key

$180-$240 blade, $300-$420 proximity. Sidewinder blades are cut on the same visit.

All keys lost

From $180, including reading the immobiliser and voiding the key that went missing.

Service call

The service call is $75 in standard hours. Evening work from 5 to 9 pm is $150 of labour, and $250/hour from 9 pm to 8:30 am.

Sticky Civic ignitions and lost CR-V fobs

The Civic key that turns halfway

Past roughly 150,000 km the wafers in a Civic or Accord cylinder wear and the key starts to bind. Owners jiggle it for months before it stops entirely. We rebuild or replace the cylinder and, where the lock allows, key it to the key you already have. That work sits on the ignition repair page.

Proximity fobs lost away from the car

CR-V and Odyssey fobs go missing at trailheads and in long-stay parking. With no key left we read the immobiliser and write a fresh credential at the vehicle, then void the one that is gone.

Sidewinder blades

The newer high-security blade cannot be cut on a standard machine. Ours is on the van, cut from the code or traced from your working key.

Acura

Acura keys are Honda keys with a different badge. Acura is Honda's luxury division and the two share immobiliser families, blade profiles and programming route. An MDX or RDX takes a blade transponder on the older cars and a proximity smart key on the newer ones, exactly as a Pilot does. TLX and Integra are proximity only. TL and TSX are blade only, and they are the Acuras whose ignition wafers wear out first.

The bands are the same as the Honda ones above: $180-$280 for a blade transponder, $280-$420 for a proximity fob, from $180 when every key is gone. Model detail lives on the Acura key and fob page.

Honda key questions

Can you program a Honda key without the dealer?+
Yes. We cut the blade and write the chip through the OBD port at your car, for a spare or when every key is lost. The car does not need to be towed.
Will a Honda fob bought online work?+
Sometimes. Many online fobs have the wrong chip or frequency for the trim. Send us the part number before you buy, and we will tell you whether it will take.
My Honda key turns halfway, then sticks. Is it the key?+
Usually not. Worn wafers in the ignition or door cylinder are the common cause on high-mileage Civics and Accords. We test with a fresh-cut key first.
