I plan to get an extra key made to wrap in a plastic baggie and place in a magnet attached key lock box that is then hidden on the underside of the vehicle for emergencies. Yes, I've locked myself out before on other cars and was glad the hidden key was there. I carry an extra key in my wallet too, BTW, but had left the wallet inside the car. Doh!
The problem is, my current lock box and any I've found at parts stores are too short for the Ody's coded key. Does anybody know if it's okay to trim the top part of the key's plastic ring loop without damaging the code implant? I need to shorten the overall length by 1/4 inch. I'll be asking the Honda parts people when I get the new key made but though maybe someone had already gone through this.
Thanks, Mark
