My ex broke in to my house a couple of years back and cleared the joint and I mean everything, cops were useless

. Just realised she took the keys for my lude leaving me with one black key, would anyone know if Honda can still sort me out with a copy?

Given the history, I'd be swapping all the locks on the car, else you might find it missing one day......

cops know who has other key and she was warned

Still, be little consolation if it got 'stolen' and damaged.......not even sure your insurance would cover you?

Ok point taken , however if I wanted a copy can they do it

Hi, I recently replaced my mum's 97 Accord key (worn out) with a new one from Honda. It had the transponder in the key. Its cut and programmed from the chassis no. You need to take v5 and proof of address and about £106 IIRC.

Hope this helps.

My neighbour lost his car keys on sunday so ordered a secondhand lock set off ebay and then bought 2 new transponder chips off ebay for a fiver which I recoded for him today. Its an 02 astra by the way.chips came but no locks yet so he has the chip cello taped to a screwdriver for now

So get another key cut buy a transponder chip for it and just get the chip coded locally.

Yep, Honda will still do you a key.
