All you need do is go to some other programmer and have the two keys reprogrammed. This deletes earlier memory of keys stored in the immobilization unit. This time around ensure to be present when the two (and no other) are programmed. |

Costee:Will the reprogramming render the supposed duplicated key I’m concerned about useless?? |

oluwaseunla:Costee, is this same with what you’re saying ?? About getting the 2 keys repogrammed? |

Alexkene:Yes. Here's what you can also do to test. When you go for reprogramming tell the programmer to programme just one of the keys (preferably the original). Then try to start the car with the other key not reprogrammed. If it does not start the key, it means it has been deleted by the reprogramming. You'd have to reprogramme both at the same time. |

Costee:Thanks for the info. 1. I hope I wouldn’t have to start cutting a new key and would just focus on the reprogramming. 2. How about the programmer logging into the ECU of the car using a scanner and deleting extra keys, but living my two keys programmed as is. Someone suggested it above. Is that also a viable solution? |
Re: I’m In A Serious Dilemma. I Think My Car Key Has Been Duplicated. by Nobody: 5:59pm On Feb 06, 2018 |
Alexkene:1. No you do not need new keys. 2. You can delete a key in the immobilization unit, if the system is such that allows adding extra keys. But the system in your car is different: if you must add any extra key, then all previous keys must come along in the welcome ceremony |
Re: I’m In A Serious Dilemma. I Think My Car Key Has Been Duplicated. by Nobody: 6:36pm On Feb 06, 2018 |
Costee:So you’re saying the option of deleting extra keys from the ECU is not possible. Bear in mind that the car is a Honda Crosstour. An expert above affirmed that it’s possible. |

Alexkene: Factory navigation never works in this 'shithole' country. This is the reason for this message. It probably has been there before u went for key programming and u just noticed because of ur curiousity. Doesn't take away the possibility of them have a 3rd key though. |

Alexkene pls call 07065245534 to install the best tracker in your vehicle. That way you can be monitoring your car yourself with no third party interference. |

Alexkene: Unless u can get the factory DVD with the Nigerian map. Unfortunately Honda only makes DVD maps for US and Canada (for the North American imports). So once the car is out of those regions u get that message on the NavScreen. Ur best solution is to replace the screen with an aftermarket head unit, or just leave it like that and ignore the message. The pic below is from ur car's owner manual. And u can check this Acura forum with similar problem https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-rl-audio-bluetooth-electronics-navigation-90/vehicle-out-database-coverage-area-949063/

Costee:Boss, quick question. After I get the keys reprogrammed. I read online that the keys supposedly with the thieves would still be able to unlock the car door (metal key). But won’t start the ignition? Is it true? |
Re: I’m In A Serious Dilemma. I Think My Car Key Has Been Duplicated. by Nobody: 9:30pm On Feb 07, 2018 |
Alexkene: Yes, metal keys are mechanical |
Re: I’m In A Serious Dilemma. I Think My Car Key Has Been Duplicated. by Nobody: 1:31am On Feb 08, 2018 |
greenhulk:Now What if the thieves come prepared on the day of the theft and appear one night with the machine they used in programming it for me before. Open the doors with the metal keys and then reprogram the keys again quickly and zoom off |

I just hope I’m being paranoid. But the way Nigeria is nowadays, anything can happen. Fraud, Theft, and Evil is everywhere. Nobody can be trusted again. Gosh |
Re: I’m In A Serious Dilemma. I Think My Car Key Has Been Duplicated. by Nobody: 3:01am On Feb 08, 2018 |
Something just came to my mind. What if I visit another programmer to scan, or check and tell me how many keys were programmed during the last programming. Sirs, Costee, greenhulk, Oluwaseunla, GAZZUZZ. Is this not possible? |
Re: I’m In A Serious Dilemma. I Think My Car Key Has Been Duplicated. by mayor2013: 4:12am On Feb 08, 2018 |
Alexkene: Very possible. Get a good scan tool go to actual values on the immobiliser control unit and see how many keys have been programmed to the antitheft system. Very very possible |

Alexkene: Lol. Sell the car and buy another one, this time don't give key to anyone to program. Since u are so paranoid that is the only time u will have rest of mind. |
Re: I’m In A Serious Dilemma. I Think My Car Key Has Been Duplicated. by Nobody: 7:22am On Feb 08, 2018 |
mayor2013:Thanks. You have been helpful. Remember I said that the original key was lost in the Auction where the car was bought in USA and they programmed a metal chip key for the car, which then came with it to Nigeria. So, I should be expecting to see two keys in the antitheft system. 1. The one that came with the car from the U.S and 2. the one that I recently programmed in Oyingbo. Any other key in the antitheft means my assertions are right ?? Ps: the image below is the kind of key that came with the car from US.
