Default FYI, switchblade keys for EP3s

We have a switchblade key for the RSXs and we just confirmed that these work in EP3 as well

Just in case you didn't know.

price is actually a lot higher than what i was expecting but i understand the reason why.....they are $155.00 per person, we need minimum of 10 and we will get a 10% discount, you also need to send a spare key with the order so they can rekey the new key to work with your immobilizer....lemme know if you guys are still interested!!!

just because the key is "designed" different doesn't mean it will not work...it uses the chip in your key and it is programmed to work with the immobilizer...

lets try to refrain from claims of a product not working unless you yourself have personally experienced failure of said product....

$155 so I can pretend I'm a VW owner?? No thanks

Plus for that price, you're halfway to a Reflashed Hondata ECU.

it's sorta pricy, but for me, I only have one key that came with the car and stealer wants $125 for just one key So, this actually is not a bad option for me!

Might be worth it if you don't have a spare but otherwise the price is pretty ridiculous.
