"Where can I obtain a key blank (with the black rubber handle -- don't know the technical name) for my 1995 Honda Passport." Your 1995 Passport DOES NOT use an electronic transponder key. Any dealer (Honda or Isuzu) should be able to cut you a key for under $10. Your Honda dealer can do it by VIN number if you don't have a spare. "I believe you can also get a new programmed key with the VIN from Honda." You can not program a transponder key with a VIN number, but you can get a code to cut the key with a VIN. "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." No, not correct. "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," Only the smart dealers do that. There is no requirement for that, other than making life easier for themselves when working on your car, or providing a customer service. "In 1995, Honda wasn't using immobilizer style ignition keys in the Odyssey," Correct! Howard |

I apologize. It would be amazing if we could read each other's minds and know that right off. This thread actually morphed off into a discussion about "special" digital keys or whatever. The $80.00 price I posted was not for these types of keys. It was for this particular outfit making an original of a key, one that I already have. In fact, I have two. I don't even NEED another key for this rig. I WANT one. One with the hard plastic at the top of it. I didn't really say anything about a digital key; yet the thread morphed into this. :) Ah, well.

I guess it must have been mentioned to me during the post sales, or I imagined it to be standard because of a "find answer" on the Honda web site. "If your Honda vehicle came equipped with an Anti-Theft radio, you should have an Anti-Theft Radio Access Card in your glove compartment. This card contains the access code and the serial number of the radio. If you do not have a card, contact your dealer for assistance." If the dealer didn't keep the code, he should feel silly when you ask for the code, based on this page. There is also a Honda Owners link that has my radio code. I don't recall if I entered the code there. It's different from the number that I have on a card attached to my original key. Maybe that one is a key code, and I've already managed to lose my radio code card. https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/login.asp?brand=honda -- --- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8-122.5 |
