Go to Honda

Don't buy that. Those are just the blanks. No profile and no code.

My local Honda asked me to bring my registration to verify it was me. I did and $30 later I had a new coded key. Cut by VIN, not by duplicating old key.

I personally have used the strattec keys for my cars. I have one for my accord and I have one for my 2000 altima. Both keys came chipped, just needed to be programmed by the dealer.

Any t5 chip key will work for you. Personally what i've done is bought the key on eBay, got it cut at Walmart for 1$ and then programmed at honda.

Since in my area buying the key, cutting it and programming at honda costs around $113 vs in my method 36$ (10key+1cut+25program)

Check the prices at the dealer first though in your area prior to doing such.

I also paid something like $30 at my local Honda for a new key that they supplied, cut, and programmed. And they did it off the vin. So I'll I did was supply registration and ID and... Yep. New key.

I wish my local Honda was like yours. They want $75 + $50 programming.

For a T5 key?

Holy rip off. Even the new keys with the built in fob are only like $50-60 depending on the car. Occasionally its more depending on the vehicle. We charge $50 to program those b/c the tech has to do it but...damn. It might've been around $100 when our cars first came out but not now.
