I lost the only key to my 1996 Honda last week, we were able to get it duplicated after much ado.
But unfortunately, the duplicate can only unlock the ignition but could not start the car.
The technician working on the car said it is coded, and we need to replace the brain box and some other things in the car before the car can start again.
This is strange to me, someone should please advise me on the best line of action.

Thank you
