The Honda remote head key, and how we set one up.
Honda and Acura remote head keys from this era wear in a predictable order: first the rubber button pad tears, then the plastic around the blade cracks, and eventually the blade loosens in the head. Through all of it the electronics usually keep working. A four-button shell replaces everything you can see and keeps everything inside.
You get the empty housing, the button pad and an uncut blade. We open your old key, lift out the circuit board and the transponder chip, and seat them in the new case. The blade is cut to match your ignition. Because the car already recognises that board and chip, there is no programming and the vehicle does not have to be with us, though it helps to test.
Four buttons on these keys usually means lock, unlock, trunk and panic. Count the buttons on your own key before ordering; a three-button board will not sit properly in a four-button case.
If the board itself has failed, for instance from water damage, a shell will not bring it back, and a new programmed key is the answer.
How to order. Call with the SKU. We confirm the price, the stock and the fit, then cut, program or fit it. Items in stock are usually ready the same day.

Before you call
- One listing covers 12 model years, 2003 to 2014, so we confirm your exact year and trim before cutting.
- This is the case only. Your existing circuit board, battery and chip move across, so it does not need programming to the car.
- Canada made engine immobilisers mandatory on new cars from September 2007, so every year from then on in this range has a chip in the key.

Can you program this key to my car?
If the FCC ID or part number matches your key, yes. We program it at the counter or at your car.

For programming, yes. The key is paired to the car itself.
My key looks the same but the FCC ID differs. Will it work?
No, it will not program. Match the FCC ID, not the look.
Can you erase a lost key?
Where the car allows it, yes. We remove the lost key from the car's memory when we program the new one.
What ID do you need?
Photo ID, and the registration or insurance in your name.
