Go up to Honda and have them make you one. You will need the title and the Vin no.

I've heard they will do it for free, but a locksmith can do it for like 40 bucks or so. I would at least call Honda and ask about it.

that doesn't sound too good.........

anyone with a pen and a pad standing by my car can get a key??

how soon do you get the key?? i'd like an extra set

edit: i really don't think you need the title, what if your car is financed and you don't have a title??

I would love for Honda to be more picky abuot making keys than just asking for the Vin no....I damn sure wouldnt want someone to be able to make a key for my car and take it....

most dealerships will atleast require a registration and id to show ownership before they will cut you a key. I had to get one made for my Integra and the guy wouldnt even start on it til i got their with the reg and id

I dont think I could trust anyone,...yeah so dealer cuts a new key with the vin #s but what if the dude at dealer wrote down all your informations, and the **** like your name,address, car vin/color/make/model ...and dude got himself a copy of your key because you give all the infos ..and he come to your house and drives your car away!!!!......scary huh!!! Trust no one.

The dealership could do this to anyone. They have all of the info on hand there and all of the key patterns as well. If they wanted to they could come and steal back every car they ever sold.

Dealership only needs ONE key.

It is called a MASTER KEY.

???? Who the hell Drives around with their TITLE in the car?? That belongs in your house in a safe place. Your Registration goes in the car. If your car gets stolen and the title is in the car then you are ASSED OUT!! You have no proof of ownership, thief could lie and tell the cops that you sold him the car. If you have your title in the car TAKE IT OUT NOW!!

They did a story about this on the news about 2 weeks ago. They had these reporters go in and ask for keys to an Eclipse, Explorer, Civic, and a couple other cars. All they did is give the vin and a nice show of acting. The dealers just gave them keys with no ID no nothing...just a vin. They only gave the keys to the females I might add...the dealer said that they were honest looking. And by law in some states...the person requesting the key must have ID, Title, and Vin.

And my parents wonder why I spend hella money on a good alarm. It looks like that is the only thing standing between a thief and stealing my car now.

It's the title...from what I heard on the news. I think if you were to be leasing a vehicle...they would have you on record there anyways and could ask you for some in depth info...like Social Security Number (Mercedes does this)...and the obvious...a photo ID.
