New Keys

I bought a 2000 EX lease return with one key and no remotes. I followed advice on this forum and bought two remotes on e-bay. Can't wait to program them when they come.

In the mean time I only have one key. Do I have to get any new keys at a dealership?

Thanks in advance.

I know of no other place besides the dealership to get the keys because of the imbedded immobilizer chip. They'll need the VIN number and proof that you own the van. I got a key from the dealer on my 98 Accord for $35, if my memory serves me right.

I called around the Austin area and this is what I found:

Classic Honda
In Round Rock

They said the remote would cost me $35 and after programming it would cost me $70.

First Texas Honda
W Koenig Ln

They said it would cost me $38.50 per key.

Howdy Honda
Santiago St

They said $25.

They all said if I just brought them a key that worked (I have one) they could program a new one for me.

I suppose if you don't have any keys they will need the vin and proof of ownership.

Thanks for the help. I just thought I would post this for the benefit of anyone in the Austin area with the same problem.
