Dropped the car off for an oil change, mentioned two broken keys. Dealer wanted $350 per key to "reprogram" and "rebuild" each one .... in the time it took to change the oil, I ordered this on amazon, package was delivered and replaced both keys. All good now. For $8 ... 99% cheaper ......
Thank you so much. I had the replacement fob sitting in my drawer for months. Today after seeing your video I decided to work on it. it was challenging to find the "transponder" on my 05 Honda CRV, then I cut it around carefully and transferred to the new case. my broken key also had some plastic parts attached to the key blade, so I removed that as well. I had to slightly car on the inner sides of the new case inner top using a blade. then both shell components snapped perfectly. The new key fob is ready under $10.
Thank you for your good demonstration of repairing for my Honda Accord. Saved me from calling a locksmith or going to a Honda dealer where the wait for an appointment is days. 👍
I know this video is a few years old, but for those with a later generation of these key fobs like myself, the transponder is inside the board itself, so you don’t have to go through all these steps about prying out the transponder from the old shell. Hope this helps. Did mines in 10 minutes or less. And for those folks saying that it won’t last long enough… I don’t know what you guys are doing with it. Unless you leave on top of the dashboard on a hot day or so, or wacking it against solid surfaces,it looks and feels pretty sturdy to me.
Just gotta slowly pop it out of the bracket. The new cover had no bracket, and it fits best pointing a certain direction so I had to try it a couple different ways to see which had a better fit then it worked great.
Thank you. Very useful. The back (bottom) of my fob cracked one day when starting the car (2012 FIT). I just ordered the replacement back from Honda for $4.68. The front seems okay, and they don't seem to offer that part, so cracking of the bottom must a frequently occurring problem.
did you take a hammer to the old plastic piece on the key blade ? You didn't really cover or document how to get the key blade out of the original key fob housing.
Great video!! Like a dumbass, I bought a shell cover kit on eBay, but failed to read the feedback on the seller. I rarely make that mistake. I was more interested in finding a replacement from a seller in California than from China and neglected to see the seller's crappy feedback! The shell would not snap in place, even after a dry run with transponder and key not installed. In fairness though, the seller stated he would mail me another free. Hope it works!!.
Hi, one question; where in the original key fob assembly is the transponder located? When my original fob cracked and wouldn't hold the blade rigid I got the replacement from Amazon. There's nothing in the instructions about taking the old assembly apart. To get the key blade completely out I'm going to have to break things apart that are glued together. I don't see anything that resembles that transponder and I worry about breaking or damaging it by trying to get the key blade down to it's naked metal form like at the beginning of your video. Can you help?
You should not have to break it to fix it. Does yours have a tiny screw at the bottom on the back of the fob (like the one Bundy shows)? What year and model is your Honda? On mine (2012 FIT), when the back of the fob is removed, the assembly holding the transponder is a unit that is box shaped and is flipped so that part faces the front of the fob. I would have to take that assembly out to remove the transponder. Wiggle the fob to separate the parts. Visit the Honda Parts page: I just ordered the back part from them for $4.68. Perhaps take the key fob to a Honda dealer or your regular mechanic for assistance? They shouldn't charge an arm and leg to put it together.
Thanks for this video but the only thing that confused me was how to get the key out of the shell I had to cut the key out of the shell because it was molded into the plastic it didn’t just fall out or easy to pull out after i managed to get it out it was easy to put into the new shell. I have a 2012 Honda Civic LX
completed and all. i moved over the chip/transponder that sends signal to the car to turn on. HOWEVER, the only issue i am experiencing is programming the key remote to work. i tried the steps that show online (turn the ignition to 2, press lock, and turn the ignition to 1 (suppose to do this 4 times apparently) and still) no luck. ANY advice please??? NONE of my keys have ever been able to unlock the doors or anything. the battery works because the red light on the key remote turns on, but nothing. please help.
I did this, but now my fob only works sometimes. Good thing I have the grey key that came when i bought the car. But any idea why its only working sometimes?
Thank you very much kind sir, but Amazon says, and I cut and paste ... "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." Do you have any other suggestions???
Great video Bundy. Hey i just wanted to ask you i have 2006 honda odyssey EX-L and i have a key and a seperate remote. My question is would this kind of key work on my honda that has key and remote together.
thank you for the video. Can you please send me the link to purchase the case on Amazon? The Honda dealer wants to charge me $120 for the key and $174 to program the transponder. I like this route much better! Knew there was a better cheaper way :-)
Although I finally got the case to go correctly it did require some sanding on the plastic sleeve that went around the key, it was a bit thicker than the case and would not sit completely flush causing the case not to shut on one side, nothing new considering it’s made China, still worth it because the Honda dealership does not sell the complete case without the metal key, they only sell the back part of the case separately and again for the complete case the key has to come with it,they wanted 140.00 , what a rip off.
yours was fixed in the fob? mine is too but I didnt want to break it if it wasnt going to work in the new one i ordered. was the key inside when you broke yours still a T like the one in this video?
i purchased the twin pack from your link an needless to say the kits are complete garbage.....the tiny screw went through the cheap plastic on both in only 2-3 weeks so i had to epoxy the junk together. i do not recommend the brand in the link spend a couple $$ more and get the non Chinese brand

So I did this same thing….. but forgot the transponder. Lol that’s why my car didn’t start. Thanks for the demo!!

How do you get the chip out of the old key fob? I'm having a little issue
Just gotta slowly pop it out of the bracket. The new cover had no bracket, and it fits best pointing a certain direction so I had to try it a couple different ways to see which had a better fit then it worked great.
Thank you so much for this video. I didn’t know about the little transponder and left it behind in my old fob and my car wouldn’t start.
Thank you for the video & Link. Our 2011 Honda Pilot is back in business!
Thank you, you helped me a lot. I saved $250. God bless you.🙏🙏..

Same problem I'm having.

Great video thank you have a blessed day and be blessed merry Christmas and happy new year
did you take a hammer to the old plastic piece on the key blade ? You didn't really cover or document how to get the key blade out of the original key fob housing.
On my 2012 Pilot, the transponder is part of the center electronic module.
how do you get the blade out of the factory fob? it seems soldered into the plastic?
So the car will still start even if the chip responder is loose and rattling?
If I get a new chip for the key cause I lost my original one can I just get it reprogrammed to start my car?
Where do you find the transponder chip? My car's key transponder chip is not visible?
Thank you. This video was so helpful.
Thanks that what I thought I didn’t have the transponder

how did you take the transponder out? thata the hardest part..

So my transponder appears to be fused with the old shell, what’s your advice?
un-fuse it. Try taking a small metal tool and see if you can lift it up and out.
Thank you very much kind sir, but Amazon says, and I cut and paste ... "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." Do you have any other suggestions???
The dealership
My sensor won’t come out of the old key….
Pretty Slick! 👍🏻
wish it was more clear on where transponder is in the bad key. I think I see it. I'm not sure.
Great video Bundy. Hey i just wanted to ask you i have 2006 honda odyssey EX-L and i have a key and a seperate remote. My question is would this kind of key work on my honda that has key and remote together.
any idea for the 3rd gen tl uncloseable key fob?
2011 accord here. I can't find the transponder in original key. anyone got a better video
thank you for the video. Can you please send me the link to purchase the case on Amazon? The Honda dealer wants to charge me $120 for the key and $174 to program the transponder. I like this route much better! Knew there was a better cheaper way :-)

Hi, thanks for the video.
I actually just do that but it turns out my remote won’t work locked and unlocked my car anymore.
Replace the battery in the key fob .
What is the code and description of the plastic case in Amazon please???
I need to buy one but I don’t know how to order it?
put year an model of car and it should show up.
I am waiting on a locksmith and it’s gonna cost $175☹️ And that was the cheapest I can find in San Antonio Texas
Anyone else can’t get the shell to snap in been trying for days just doesn’t snap together
Rate
2013amaze key cover price??
Google it.
Hey Bundy great video. Do you work on European cars?
Use glue gun to stick chip inside so that eyen it fall again and break, you dont loss $700 chip.
Although I finally got the case to go correctly it did require some sanding on the plastic sleeve that went around the key, it was a bit thicker than the case and would not sit completely flush causing the case not to shut on one side, nothing new considering it’s made China, still worth it because the Honda dealership does not sell the complete case without the metal key, they only sell the back part of the case separately and again for the complete case the key has to come with it,they wanted 140.00 , what a rip off.
Didnt work on 2012 honda accord
This is before people zoomed. Where the f is the transponder
I ended up needing to break the actual key out of the old fob lol
yours was fixed in the fob? mine is too but I didnt want to break it if it wasnt going to work in the new one i ordered. was the key inside when you broke yours still a T like the one in this video?
@@lespaulmaster yeah. Just like a cross bar at the base. It was a pain breaking, but once it snapped the rest of the tutorial was dead on
@@lespaulmaster jsyk. Mine was a 2009 honda accord, but same key and fob type
@@Mothman1992for that type of key, is the transponder in the electronic module? I can’t find a separate transponder
@josephjanson4753 the electronics were all one piece for me
i purchased the twin pack from your link an needless to say the kits are complete garbage.....the tiny screw went through the cheap plastic on both in only 2-3 weeks so i had to epoxy the junk together. i do not recommend the brand in the link spend a couple $$ more and get the non Chinese brand
