That's a lot. Do these keys have a remote transmitter built into them?

New keys without a remote transmitter should cost $25-$35. That would
include the key, duplicating it, and duplicating the anti-theft code
from your original key into the new key.

Do you have a breakdown of exactly what parts of the new key add up to
$65? Is this US$65 or CAN$65? Shoot, even CAN$65 translates to US$47,
which is still too much.

Try another dealer.

It is probably because they are laser cut.

Locksmiths have these key blanks and can program them. Price around.

Sounds as though keys have become a new profit center for the dealers.

I was told that new keys for my 03 Accord would be about $200. They
have the transmitter built into the key. I don't need more than the
two provided with the car (plus a valet key). The salesperson was just
warning me to try not to lose or destroy one!

I stand corrected on this. There is no aftermarket key for the Accord, I
guess because the remote is built into it. There are aftermarket keys
for the Element, CRV, Civic and Odyssey.

Oh, you can get a Honda key without the remote built into it. No
problem. But it's a laser cut key, not able to be duplicated in the
traditional fashion. Probably the only source of key blanks is Honda,
which means Honda dealers.
