seems to me liek you can actually take the honda key and turn the buttons sideways along with the chip and it may JUST BARELY fit..but it seems like itll work..

the buttons are slightly different but shouldnt make a big deal

**NO CLUE IF ANYONES TRIED THIS YET LOL BUT** if ya havent...gl

joncav2222 · 02-28-2008, 04:33 PM

you lose the panic button becaus eoyu woud prob cut that off..and if you look at my pic i havent messed around with the size..i just cut and pasted

How much does your dealership usually charge for programming the key??

I was searching around my area and they are charging $100+!!!!

haha nice..maybe there will be an update when i wake up. hopefully everything fits right

20civic07 · 03-01-2008, 03:50 AM

i have everything fitting okay... the immobilizer was a pain in the ass... long story short, i need a new immobilizer (which i will be getting from a transponder key) and have to program it... the product feels flimsy (key blade moves around slightly and you can feel it hit the plastic case)

rev210k · 03-01-2008, 04:51 AM

You need a new imobilizer? you mean the transponder? Why do you need a new one?

100 dollars to just program a key is rediculous,if you have the key already cut and in hand the labor on programming the key shuld only be 35-50 dollars . I can understand the cost of the key,cutting ,and programming to be maybe at about 100 but not just the programming part, I can program a key in minutes.

20civic07 · 03-01-2008, 10:51 AM

lazy help. person i was having me hold the soldering tip melted the plastic off the immobilizer/transponder and the metal clip fell off the chip (from immobilizer) and i couldnt solder one on the chip... it seems to have been a clip style chip, where there was a metal bracket holding the chip in the immobilizer.

rev210k · 03-01-2008, 02:23 PM

Well i have everything swapped over but i cant get the key cut today since the car is not in my name. So i guess everyone is gonna have to wait till monday sorry
