that the key from my 95 cx fits my 95 dx and vice versa. i know manufacturers only have a certian amount of keys, but what are the chances that i have two cars with the same key!!!

 

have you thought about this: MAYBE YOUR KEY THREADS HAVE WORN OUT! my sister's integra key fits my del sol key holes and can start my car. my key doesnt fit hers because it is newer

 

on both cars, on all doors(trunks, etc) and ignition. i dont think so

 

i used my house key to open my frends car and my car key to start it. me n my other friend took it for a lil drive while the owner was inside getting his ps2

 

It happens alot. My buddies 90 Accord key will open my other friends trunk and doors on his 97 Civic. I guess theres only sop many variations they can make.

 

Honda made alot of these keys, its nothing special. Its kind of like the hole 89 Toyota Camery V6 thing which was beyond dumb.

 

i was just wondering what the chances are? does any one know how many keys they put out?? oh and i was wrong, my cx is a 94

 

It's pretty common actually, believe it or not.

If you manipulate Honda keys a little, you can open pretty much any Honda.

 

How do you think some thieves can get into Hondas easily...

LISTEN YOU NON READERS!!! i seriously doubt any of you nubs have each others keys... THE FRIGGIN KEYHOLE IS WORN OUT! this happens because:
1. You're a nub at putting hard things in holes.
2. You're a nub.
3. You use your spare key too much.
3. You are just plain stupid for trying to put another key in because on of these days, ANY car key will fit in that thing.

STOP PUTTING OTHER KEYS IN unless you want your car stolen. if that is the case, please leave your home adress so someone on here can steal your car. thank you

 

geez calm down man. sorry mister seniority(all 77 posts) but it happens to alot of older hondas regardless. it happens because through use(normal) you wear out the pins.

 

So I guess that with as many cars as honda produces each year that its impossible for them to have cut a few keys that are almost if not exactly the same.

There are olny so many ways a key can be cut before the pattern is repeated again. So it is highly possible ( and obvious) that one persons key can work in another persons car. Like I said one of my friends 90 Accord key will work in my other friends 97 Civic, not because they are worn out but because the keys are almost identical.

Also my moms 87 Lincoln Continental trunk key opened the doors to my buddies 86 Ford Tempo.

 

I used to be able to pull the key out of my 91 Blazer and still have it run. Locks wear out after a while.

 

Here's my story happended 2 years ago...

I stopped by McDonald's on night to eat dinner. It was raining and I was in a hurry to get in my car, red a 94 Ferio, coz I didn't have an umbrella. As I was driving out of the parking lot, I noticed the radio station was not in the same frequency as It was before I turned it off, and the seat covers was different. DAMN, I got in the wrong car! It was a same 94 red ferio. I drove back and saw my car parked 1 car away. Fortunately no one parked on the slot so I parked, locked and got in my car and drove away. It was scared the owner saw me and thought I was stealing his car.

Well since that day I used a steering wheel lock. Old cars have worn out locks so thats why my key opended and started the other car.

 

Damn... you kicked my story's ***.

 

its not that uncommon really. on the ford focus lock cylinder it has 8 tumbler positions and 5 tumbler heights which eguals 390,625 different combinations to cover a 5 year period(5 years because they havent changed the design since they started producing the car) so yeah its easily possible. i just looked at my civic key and it has 9 or 10 positions and maybe 5 heights

Holy ****! Haha.. damn, that situation must've felt weird.

 

You got that right! Upto now I still feel wierd everytime i look back at that experience. The owner of that car must have been boggled too when he or she gets back in the car with the radio station changed and the steering wheel turned! haha.
