How did you go about getting it work?

I had the key cut at work and programmed it myself. Earlier in the thread theres a explaination about the frequencies.

lol I have no idea. I emailed the guy today no response yet. He is located in the uk though so it will probably take a little bit longer.

So my question is can we use the rdx key since it is the same freq and made by the same manufacturer and just get it programed and cut for the car?

yea alot of us over at crsx do that but i never did herd it reeally can screw up ur ecu sum guy's car would not unlock after he did it and his other key's didint work ether

yeah he wrote me back he shipped it out yesterday so i will keep everyone updated

mhuynh · 02-22-2008, 09:05 PM

I just emailed him asking if he had more in stock. Hopefully he does.

Do you know if theres the honda emblem on the back of the key like our stock ones? I doubt it because its a knockoff but im just wondering.

just finished reading that other thread from civic info. If our 8th gen keys are like the UK 8th gens, the transponder will need to be removed and relocated because it is too far from the immobilizer in the car.

I will probably still end up with one of these though.

With the ebay key? Not that I know of. It just needs to be relocated in the new key which involves removing the transponder from the circuit board, soldering two extension wires and putting it where it should be. Doesn't sound hard if you have good soldering skills.

yup, and unfortunately its gotta be done by a dealer on their HDS, shop around for a good deal though, my local dealer cut and program prices, not including the cost of the key, range from $120 to as low as a flat rate $22 cut and program

20civic07 · 02-25-2008, 12:24 PM

i just called dealer, they said that they would cut for free.. i might just have to do what that guy did... and that was to cut the transponder out and rewire it... how does the transponder work? does it need to be wired to the circuit board? if so, why?
