Lost Original Honda Key, but have Spare Red Key- Possible to cut?

john2984

Hello,

I recently lost the last original key for a 97 Civic. I still have the spare red key which, i think, is an immobiliser. Does anyone know if it's possible to get this red key cut anywhere, perhaps apart from the main dealers? I heard the dealers can charge a lot for repacling lost car keys.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

its cheap to get the keys themselves cut but the dealer has to chip and code them to your car... thats if there a chip in a car of that age....
if there is ,theres plenty of guys out there that can code them to the car at present at half the dealer price and you can pick up the key blanks uncut of course for about a fiver...

Thanks Kincaid,
So regardless i will need to go to the dealer to get the key coded?

Price it at a dealer also. Last time I got a quote a dealer was cheaper than the above.
