| Is There A DIY Process To Duplicate A Transponder Key? by adanny01(m): 6:04pm On Aug 30, 2018 |
I bought my car Naija used with only 1 key. Knowing it will be immobilized if i lost my single key, i have desired to make a complete spare. I have a spare cut blade but not the transponder. I recently made an order for a matching transponder chip and a key shell, do i have to pay for cutting and as well as for adding the new key? I expected there was a way just as the remote fob can be added. |

adanny01: You have to pay for cutting & adding of new But you can program the Remote operation like lock/unlocking doors without any special tool or device I am assuming it your 7th Gen honda accord An alternative but not secure option is.. Remove the immobilizer chip from your present key & stick it permanently with adhesive somewhere around the ignition.. Your old key + spare blade+new cut key will start the car... Too much sense will not kee me  Team Honda.. Thieves dem no dey too rush us 1 Like |

adanny01: Yes, you have to pay. There are some cars that their keys and or remote can be added manually. What car are you referring to? |

@OP, I'm interested in this. I have a key I bought almost 3 years ago from Amazon but, I'm yet to cut it as I don't know if it has a chip or not as it looks just like the single key that came with my vehicle (valet key). |

adanny01: Won't really recommend this. How much does it cost to do the reprogramme the chip? I've changed my master key (the metal part broke off) I cut the new one but transplanted the chip. Best of luck |

Piyke: Yes, i have done that before but my mum just broke it after my ignition cylinder refused to unlock the steering. I have fixed the key cylinder and I am currently using the old original one which is manageable but though it wise to get a spare entirely. From my reading, its cheaper to add/duplicate a transponder than get back/program a new key without a working one. In adding a new key, the existing one must be used to add another which without, its a longer and more expensive process. In adding a new key, the programer will see how many keys are programmed to the car and car delete the ones i dont have. Its like changing a password, you will need the old password to to start the process.

Wherever you intend to do a key cut, you will see someone that will do the programming for you. Should be between 5 to 10k ldepending on you location. The DIY style like you inquired about, is to follow thebigkendo way. Remove the the chip, gum it close to the key ignition fob  . Too crude, and be ready to lose your car  Or you get a key cloner like vvdi or other chinese knock off like TCode, sbb, or Xpad100 for the programming (Either of this options will set you back least of 200 dollars) So brah, it is left to you. I think you should let the car locksmith chop small  . |

thebigkendo: Thieves used to rush Honda during the baby boy 98 accord days but not the EOD period. Toyota Corolla na im be thieve magnet. I also wonder why Toyota delayed engine immibilizer till 2008. Most stolen 2003 and above stolen Honda are withing 1st year of purchase and still in very clean condition. I usually attribute the theft to Armed robbery, spare key theft by crooked dealers and mechanics. My boss's 06 Hilux was stolen 2 months ago, what an embarrassment. My mum has a 06 Pontiac Vibe, i know it can be stolen anytime. But i am a peace parking my EOD in most places and leaving it for hrs unchecked. Its not that it cannot be stolen but its unlikely. Pontiac Vibe is like a copy of Matrix in a different paper. Hell the key has Toyota logo on it. The car says Pontiac in only 3 places, the front, back and steering. 2 Likes |

mexxy1: The shipping details always says if the chip os inside or not. If the key came with remote fob i would say the chip is inside. Cutting the key is the easiest part, the remote fob is easy diy too, but that transponder is the reason for this thread. |

adanny01: Mine isn't the one with remote fob. But, I'll check the documentation again to confirm if it has the chip already. My vehicle didn't come with the key with remote fob and I don't know the part number hence I ordered for same type it came with. Thank you. |

adanny01: Na the chinese made this easy o  , Normal normal, a clone could cost you nothing less than 50k. And if you missplace your key, you could pay through your nose for it.Thank Goodness for China BTW 5k is not too much |
