Guys,

The poster didn't exactly mention which dealer he bought his civic from. I bought mine from Carmax which is a dealer and not Honda, so all those advice is null if he didn't get his car certified from Honda.

Luckily, my car came with two keys. Both were the black keys with lock/unlock and trunk. I tried getting a valet key from a Honda dealer and they wanted an arm and a leg. I think it was just $40-50 to just get the spare key, let alone programming the key to match your car,etc. It wasn't worth it for me. Unfortunately, our cars have immobilizers so we can't just have it cut.
