Gene, YOU THE MAN! Thanks so much for this video. I ordered a key shell from someone because it broke like so many do, only to find out there was more to it. Went to the dealer and he wanted to replace it all anyway for $145 or so. But with your help, I was able to get the chip out of the old one and put in the new shell. Voila! Save over $100 thanks to you. Keep up the good work!
Your video is super helpful and helped me take apart and reassemble in new plastic housing. Had my key cut and all works well. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Thank You so much for showing us and sharing this informational video with us all. I wish that I would of seen this last week went to the Honda dealership and spent $50.87 on a brand new key. However I kept my old key which still has the old front on it, the chip and the metal portion of the key. I'll just put my old key together so I'll have an extra starting key
The retainer is for use during key production (before the factory adds the remote and back). A small amount of putty or adhesive holds it fine while you are working on the key. The back of the key is really the retainer.
I used to. The swing out style keys that I have dealt with were very low quality and hard to work with. I know customers like them, so I sold them and just put up with the hassle. When keys started coming back from customers with failures in the mechanical mechanism, I stopped selling them.
i have a 2005 Honda accord ex model. i mistakenly chip the outside cover while changing the battery, for a while i was taping the key to the pod because the dealer wants to charge me $175 for them to replace it supposedly the dealers doesn't fix them they replace them. i was very frustrated so when i stumbled upon your video i was very happy thanks.a lot :) now my question is can i take the silver piece from the old key and screw it to a new pod/ transmitter as seen in this video.
The 2003 and newer Accord key has an immobilizer that has to be programmed to the car by a technician. I can repair broken keys, but not make a functioning key from scratch. If your dealer is only charging $105 for a key that is cut and programmed, it sounds like a great deal!
The backs between OEM Honda, aftermarket, even between models of Honda do not match. You have to have the proper back for the front. If the metal base is moving, you need a whole housing, or you will soon. If you have an OEM Honda key and just the back is broken, see your dealer for the exact application.
I hear a lot of these blanks are low quality and for one reason or other dealers or lock smiths won't cut them. Not sure if it's because they are thicker or the metal is soft but they say they ruin there cutting machines. Have you heard that complaint from any of your customers? I really want to find an oem blank but not sure where to find one?
nuts 4 knives I had to quit using aftermarket blanks several years ago due to the drop in quality. The metal is the wrong density and they are not true (straight). The key cutting procedure is very precise and it doesn't allow for a blank out of specifications. That is why my prices have gone up since these videos were made. My prices are still far below most dealers price of a new key with programming.
Thanks for the video! Where can i buy plastic housing? Just at Honda? and Does Honda still sell the older ones, with a small place for the immobilizer chip?
Hi Gene, I only need the back case replaced (the buttons and the actual metal key work fine on my honda, but the back case is cracked where the screw holds it in, so it's loose). I just want to be able to screw in the new case and have it not be loose anymore. My question: My key has an immobilizer chip, but when I shop for new key housings, sometimes they don't specify. Are the back cases for the housings with and without the immobilizer chip the same exact size? Are they interchangeable?
I have a Honda Pilot that the chip inside of it has stopped working. I changed battery but nada! do you sell just the chip and does it have to be programed?
I got the transponder key from the dealer with brake code and was able to start the car. After driving 1.5 hours and turning the car off, I cannot remove the key. How do I remove this?
Dang it. How do I replace the screw in the back of the Honda accord 2010 4-button key? The stupid thing wouldn't stay put. I guess it's fate was bigger than me. I hope the screw found ultimate happiness, however I was left with a hole where the screw used to be and my key regularly falls apart. What type of screw should I get? Please thanks.
I have a 2009 Honda Accord with a crack in the black plastic shell that makes the key wobbly/very flexible. Everything works though. I would like to just replace the black plastic shell housing and move my existing key into a new housing if I can? The key is a 4 button key (3 black buttons and a red Panic button) inside component. Can I just purchase the black shell and move the inside component buttons and the metal key into the new shell? Thanks
Are you still in business? I sent a key on July 6, it was delivered (to your PO Box) on July 11. Repeated follow ups but to no avail ! Whatsup ? ! ! ? ! ? !
I sent my key via registered mail (and a follow-up letter via Certified Mail) with no key and no response. I filed a FRAUD COMPLAINT with the USPS today. See if anything happens !
Watched 5 videos for this exact info. None of them had the info you gave us. Thank you!
Thank you for covering the different keys. Nobody else did this and it makes a lot more sense now.
Wow you are literally the only person in the world that has a video of how to remove the immobilizer chip. You helped me ALOT thanks you so much.

Thanks for your explanation on how to remove the immobilizer chip. I had no idea that it was glued.
The retainer is for use during key production (before the factory adds the remote and back). A small amount of putty or adhesive holds it fine while you are working on the key. The back of the key is really the retainer.
Thank you so very much. You saved me at least $100.

@caseinpoint1 You are very welcome. Glad to help! Please spread the word with your friends and in blogs. FixMyKey.com

You'll still have to go to a locksmith to actually cut the new blanks. My Lowe's doesn't cut that kind of key.
I believe you forgot to put the imobolizer key plastic retainer back on. .
The backs between OEM Honda, aftermarket, even between models of Honda do not match. You have to have the proper back for the front. If the metal base is moving, you need a whole housing, or you will soon. If you have an OEM Honda key and just the back is broken, see your dealer for the exact application.
I bought a new case that came with a blank key. Does the blank key come out so I can put my old key in place? Thanks
Your immobilizer chip is inside the remote housing.
I hear a lot of these blanks are low quality and for one reason or other dealers or lock smiths won't cut them. Not sure if it's because they are thicker or the metal is soft but they say they ruin there cutting machines. Have you heard that complaint from any of your customers?

Where can i buy plastic housing? Just at Honda?
and
Does Honda still sell the older ones, with a small place for the immobilizer chip?
What happens if I lost my immobilized chip on a 2011 Honda Pilot while changing the battery??
Hi Gene, I only need the back case replaced (the buttons and the actual metal key work fine on my honda, but the back case is cracked where the screw holds it in, so it's loose). I just want to be able to screw in the new case and have it not be loose anymore.
My question: My key has an immobilizer chip, but when I shop for new key housings, sometimes they don't specify. Are the back cases for the housings with and without the immobilizer chip the same exact size? Are they interchangeable?
Can I just take out my metal key and change the housing ONLY??
Yes you can
You have to get a new housing and have it cut to match your car. You can not move your old blade to a new housing. FixMyKey.com
4:45 is off focus how to pry the immobilizer chip. Maybe a little editing may be helpful. Thnx for vid. Is your website no longer avail(edited)?
Hi, my key was broken and it destroyed the plastic cover of the chip, too. the chip and battery are still working(i guess) so How can I fix it?
I have a Honda Pilot that the chip inside of it has stopped working. I changed battery but nada! do you sell just the chip and does it have to be programed?
I did this and car lock and trunk open doesn't work. Battery is new and lights go on on fob. Car will start. What next?
I got the transponder key from the dealer with brake code and was able to start the car. After driving 1.5 hours and turning the car off, I cannot remove the key. How do I remove this?
I JUST WANT TO PURCHASE A 2ND KEY FOR MY 03 ACCORD THE DEALER WANTS $105 CAN U BEAT THAT PRICE?
