Default Lost all keys, no key number for car

sent my info to honda america and they said there is no key number for my car. Honda dealership said i would have to replace all door cylinders, ignition and cylinder or ignition and get a new key.

Would it be possible to have a locksmith form a key to my cylinder in my door? would this work?

Honda dealers are able to cut a new key based on your VIN number. Just supply proof of ownership and you should be fine

Something is wrong. I worked for Honda for years! Any dealer should be able to take your VIN, do a vehicle information inquiry which pulls up a key code. (original keys even have the key code etched on the side of them, for others wondering).

From the key code, the dealer would have no problem cutting a new one from scratch. If one dealer wasn't willing to help you, visit another

Now this is sounding fishy. Even if you call a locksmith you would have to show them you actually owned the car.

I gave them my title, they didnt even ask for id here in germany because car theft hardly exists. The next honda dealership is 22 miles away, I guess I will try them next weekend. Honestly I thought it would save alot of hassle just to have a locksmith come and make a key if possible.

It might be easier but more expensive. Are you not able to call the other dealership to confirm they are able to make you keys before driving out there?

Locksmiths can make the key and if the stealership doesn't want to make it then just get it made. I got a key made for my del sol and cost me $50 only to find the key on the floor inside the car....... That's when i had bought it at the police impound...
