Default Key replacement

I have a 2010 Accord and just lost my key (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HONDA-REPLACEMENT-REMOTE-HEAD-KEY-KEYLESS-ENTRY-FOB-TRANSMITTER-UNCUT-BLADE-/140837589824?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AHonda&hash=item20ca931340&vxp=mtr). Since all these keys come unprogrammed and uncut, can I just take it to Home Depot to get it cut or do I need a professional to do this?

You still need to take it to a pro to get it programmed to your car. I personally wouldnt buy a key off of Ebay because most of them are cheap knockoffs that probably wont work anyway and you may have a hard time finding a dealer who would program one for you.

Thanks for the quick reply. I never had to replace a key with remote so I have no idea how much it will cost to get a second key. After searching a bit, it seems like it's relatively easy to program (http://www.programyourremote.com/cla...Ad.asp?id=1966) or (
). Have you had an experience with Ebay remote keys?

I have a 2006 accord and my second key has broken, so I think I need a replacement as well. I still have the cut key and the electronic pieces, just no longer together as a unit. Did you learn anything further on this replacement, cost, availability? Is the ebay unit an option?
