Honda key blanks....
 
Where can I obtain a key blank (with the black rubber handle -- don't know
the technical name) for my 1995 Honda Passport. Some site online wants like
$80.00 to do an original key. Yeah, right!!!

Do not know where you are from but overhere (Europe) they duplicate keys
at almost any local hardware store. Will cost around USD 5,-

Those expensive keys are called "transponder" keys. Some key shops can
provide them, and $80 sounds a little high but maybe not, and can cut the
key itself so you can open the door with it. But the car has to be
programmed to accept the key as a valid electronic key when you use it to
start the car. Don't know about late model Hondas, but with our 2002 Toyota
(Prius) the procedure involves a dance that is guaranteed to make you feel
foolish and to make bystanders point and stare:
http://www.coastaletech.com/keys.htm. The Honda may require programming at
the dealer - I dunno. It's the price of security against car thieves, at
least the ones who don't use tow trucks.

BTW - don't ever lose the last programmed key, so you don't have any. My
understanding is that requires replacement of the security module, for many
hundreds of dollars.

In 1995, Honda wasn't using immobilizer style ignition keys in the
Odyssey, at least not in Canada.

It started in Canada in '98 year for Odyssey. You can tell if there's a
little 'key' icon showing on the speedo cluster during the 'lamp check'
Otherwise, any duplicate key will start it.

That's pretty much how the Hondas handle programming the system for new
remote transmitters, but the keys are encoded by a special machine.
Dealers have the machine; all it takes is one of your original keys.
They can cut another one and have the transponder code transferred into
the new key, no problem.

With the Honda system, there's no issue of "too many keys for the system
to keep track of". You can make as many keys as you like, since they're
all duplicates, right down to the transponder encoding.

Yes.

But the tradeoff is that you *must* pay someone to use the transponder
duplicator to make your key a good one for the ignition. That jumps the
price of the key to include the labor.

But I'll take that over paying a bunch for an encoded key that I have to
teach my car to listen to. Under that scenario, the car has a limit to
how many keys it can work with. I think that's bad. I'll pay for the
extra keys to have the privilege of unlimited copies.

I believe you can also get a new programmed key with the VIN from Honda.

I've not heard that. I doubt it; for example, they can't give you the
radio security code with just the VIN. That requires the radio serial
number.

I do believe that there may be some sort of serial number on the
computer module that may be of use in getting another key blank. I do
know that you can also replace the computer module, at great expense,
and that will start you fresh with new keys and code. If you've had
your keys stolen along with some sort of identifying papers, such that
the thief could get to your van, people have replaced the computer
module so that the stolen keys don't work.

I've not heard that. I doubt it; for example, they can't give you the
radio security code with just the VIN. That requires the radio serial
number.

I do believe that there may be some sort of serial number on the
computer module that may be of use in getting another key blank. I do
know that you can also replace the computer module, at great expense,
and that will start you fresh with new keys and code. If you've had
your keys stolen along with some sort of identifying papers, such that
the thief could get to your van, people have replaced the computer
module so that the stolen keys don't work.

I got spares for my '95 & '96 cars at Home Depot for $2. I don't know of any
'95s that have the special expensive keys. That came a few years later.

Your selling dealer keeps the radio code. It is associated with the VIN in
case service has to be done, or so you can get it from them if you need it,
and of course can't locate where you put it.

I have no idea if the same is true for the keys.

My new Ford Escape came with no radio key fobs. They magically made the
ones they took from some other Ford Escape work for my car.

Thank you for the obvious answer. :)

My nearest Honda dealership is about 150 miles away, round trip. I was
hoping for something a little more "local", like the Internet, :).

The Internet is more "local" than my dealership. But thanks. :)
