i bought a shell and the steering column is broken the lock assy is also missing where the key goes in. i do have the original key the car came with, i just dont want to have to replace the steering column lock assy and have two sets of keys. do i have to replace all the locks to have one set of keys?
thanks

 

Yeah you will need to replace all of the locks if you want to use 1 key. When I rebuilt my EM1 Honda said that's the only way. I had 2 keys. One to get in the door and one for the ignition.

 

its unfortunate, but you will need to use 2 separate keys to open the door and start the ignition.

Someone attempted to steal my car and broke the ignition. Now I am having to use 2 keys... its a pita but what can you do.

 

if i order it from acura online will they send me everything including the keys cut already or will i have to bring it to a lock smith or acura to cut it.

I hope you guys know that honda has the key pins at the dealership so you can rekey the lock to have one matching key again, I use to do that when I worked there same pins for honda and acura keys

 

For door locks yes, but i've never heard of them doing ignition switches...

 

yeah so just get a new ignition and whatever key that comes with just have them re-key the door locks to the key that comes with the new ignition. you will then have 1 key for everything.

 

like i said before, you can rekey the car including the ignition. so just rekey the ignition and keep your original keys and not have to reprogram the immobilizer either

 

And the dealer does this?

 

they have a clear white box at the parts dept. that has all the different pins #1-6 to match the key, every honda/acura dealer should have this. If they dont then they're dumb lol
