Default Honda immobiliser problem

Hi guys, I need genuine help

My 96 ek sedan's immobiliser has left me stranded!

Bought it a few months back, decided to clean my key cause the rubber part was melted and ignorantly threw away the immobiliser chip...

Called honda and will look to spend around $700-800 to get it towed, replace the whole immobiliser with a new one and half an hour's labor to reprogram it.

I can't believe it! And I got the car for twice that amount!

I don't want to spend that much cause I now have a 2month old baby - needing all the money I can get.

I was reading a past thread in here and the members locked it because no one would try to help the other guy - he might probably be a crook or what but what about genuine guys like me who sign up for the first time just to get real advice and not have to always go to Honda and spend loads of money.

By the way, I've always just been a 'reader' of forums and not joining cause I don't really have enough time to go on the internet before because of work, doing overtime and now there's a baby I have to take care of.

Please help thanks

I find it hard to believe that they just can't program a new key...

Maybe try another dealer??

I know.

One guy in another thread said that the dealer he went to made him a new key and then reprogrammed his existing immobiliser.

The 2 nearest dealers I called said the same thing. I will need a new immobiliser which costs heaven and earth.

Could someone suggest anything cheaper?

By the way, I am in London. Seems to me Honda U.S. is better?

Get an immobilizer bypass module used for remote starts and go from there.

It's not a matter of us thinking you might be a thief. There is no way for us to know that. The problem is that you aren't the only person reading our replies. Anyone can google it and it will come up, and it saved in the archives and duplicated by other online services. Once you open pandora's box...

The Honda dealers are spuing crap, all you need is a new key and programing, contact Honda Canada... http://world.honda.com/Canada/ then get two keys.

Hatch, you can't program a bypass without a key. 94
