You gotta be kidding. That's pretty ridiculous, all right.

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.

Ah, so it is actually the key that is programmed. I like that idea better.

Re: Honda key blanks....
How about your local dealer? You can even try an Isuzu dealer. The price
should be maybe $5 to $10. max.

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.
