I think programming is done by some OBD interface or similar.

Difficult enough so that I've only found dealers being the ones who can do it.

spare key for 2010 Odyssey

For those looking for a reputable locksmith in the Toronto (Canada) area, I got a key cut & programmed for $96.00. The dealer wanted $226.00 for the key & programming - Kensmart - 3422 Weston Rd, Toronto, ON M9M, Canada

Mine only came with one key and fob as well. Bought a used fob on ebay for $17 bucks and programmed it myself. Bought two keys from the local honda dealer. Total cost of those two keys was $92 (cut and programmed). They charged $22/key and then a $50 programming fee (one programming fee regardless of the number of keys programmed). He said that he was going to have to hook a laptop up to it to program them.

I did call the $35 place and confirm that they had the immobilizer programmer thing, and they did. I brought in my key blank (it was stamped "R" - I think because it was a replacement for the "V" type)

I went there and the guy cut the key and programmed the immobilizer with a small laptop-type thing that he connected to the car. Worked like a charm!

In case anyone wants to get a honda key done in Utah area - the place is "Orem Locksmith Service" in Orem Ut, 279 N. State Street.

I'm in Murray, UT. Same situation, bought a blank on Ebay for $6 (has the "R" stamp). I called Orem Locksmith Service and they confirmed that they could cut and program them, although he said he couldn't guarantee that the programming would work as it wasn't his blank. You must have caught him on a good day, because he quoted me $55 to get it done.
I'm tempted to do it, just to stick it to the dealer (who wanted $80 all in), but I'm not sure it's worth the drive and the risk in order to save $25.

I got a key blank off Ebay for $6. Took it to a dealer to have it cut and programmed and was told that they wouldn't cut it because it wasn't their blank and they were concerned that it might break their machine. I'm betting this is total crap and just a way to make you buy the blank from them.

Is programming the fob as easy as it states it on this website: 2006 Honda Odyssey - Free Keyless Remote Fob Entry programming instructions, procedures for all automotive vehicles

And do this apply to all trims of the Oddysey? I have a Touring and looking at a fob on Ebay (with Trunk remote). The seller says the instruction in the above website is what I would follow once I get the fob.

Anyway, just making sure before I buy. Thanks in advance!

Yes, programming the fob is as simple as the directions say. It's programming the KEY that's the one requiring a laptop and the right software plugged into your van.

Can you also confirm if I will be able to "Driver 1" and "Driver 2" - you know... on the Touring... one fob is assigned as Driver 1 or Driver 2 so that when that fob is used to unlock the car, then the corresponding seat memory is also selected.

But without looking at my manual, I think there's instruction on how to assign a fob to either Driver 1 or 2 ... so forgive me... but this might be a moot point.

If you already have a blank key, you can get it programmed at any Ace Hardware. Some workers do not know about it, just have that person check with manager. I got one done. Key about $10 + Programming $8. About the remote, programming is easy but mine is older without 1 and 2. Just a simple remote. There are a few locksmiths that do it between $25-80, including the mobile ones.

Yes, I can confirm that Driver 1 and Driver 2 will work when programmed this way. What is important is that you buy the correct FOB. The Driver 1 and Driver 2 association is in the fob itself... it's not something you arbitrarily program. In other words, when you program a Driver 1 remote, it will be seen as a driver 1 remote by the van. If you program a Driver 2 remote, it will be seen as a drive 2 remote. You cannot make a Driver 1 be seen as a driver 2 and vice versa. The only thing you can do it link or unlink association... in other words, you can make the van NOT set all the customizations associated with Driver 1 or 2... but that is it. Hope that makes sense.

According to earlier posts, this "key only" reprogramming only works for older Odysseys where the key can be "cloned". On the newer ones (I think someone suggested 2006+), it sounds like getting a second key involves some programming through the OBD port (and more expense).

We bought a 2006 Ody with one key and fob so I'm getting a second set. The best deal I found on the key was here https://www.remotesandkeys.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CK35118-SDA-A01. The uncut OEM key was $24.95 with free shipping. I ordered it on Tue. 9/04 and received it today 9/06 in 1st class mail. I got it quickly and it's just what I ordered. That's excellent service if you ask me.
I also looked at w.ikeyless.com/honda but it looked to me like they didn't have OEM keys. It certainly doesn't say it anywhere so they must not be. I'd be concerned it would be hard to get it paired to the vehicle. I doubt you'd find a dealer that would do an aftermarket key. I'd be worried about quality too. I can't risk getting a flaky key.

Where are you going to get the key cut?

Have had the iKeyless key for almost 2 years. No issues. Used daily.

And be glad you don't have a later model VW and need a new key. You're looking at up to $200 for those need little keys!

And Jamieson asked about the "The immobilizer system must be some kind of short range RFID"??? Well, in a round about way. The immobilizer shuts down you car if someone starts it with a key which does not have a diode in it, or a key with the wrong diode. The only way it will start again by towing it to the dealer.

Locksmiths who provide a auto locksmith service do car key cutting/car key programming. If you need replacement of car keys in the event of having lost your keys, damaged or broken them or just need to duplicate set of vehicle / car keys, a Locksmith will be able to programme and cut keys for your car/van/motorbike/motorcycle whatever vehicle you may have.
