Question: <\/strong>I lost my Honda key fob, and now I don\u2019t know what to do. It had my metal key in it as well. Are there steps I can take to find my lost Honda key fob?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless you\u2019ve added a separate Bluetooth or GPS tracker to your key ring, there\u2019s no built-in way to track a lost Honda<\/a> key fob. If you’ve exhausted your search efforts, you\u2019ll probably have to visit your local Honda dealer or service center to get a new key fob. Typically, all the dealership will need is proof of ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does a Honda key fob replacement cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It costs an average of $150 to $450 or more to replace your key fob, depending on the type of fob and key required for the model of your Honda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting a new car key used to be about as complicated as replacing your house key \u2014 you could just go to a hardware store and ask them to cut a new metal key. But replacing the modern version isn\u2019t nearly as easy \u2014 the metal key has to be precision-cut with lasers and the key fob must be programmed specifically for your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some dealerships require you to bring in a spare key or the vehicle itself in order to have the new key programmed. If you lost your only key, you may need to arrange to have your vehicle towed to the Honda dealership to get a key replacement. However, you may be able to find an automotive locksmith in your area to help program a new key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that no matter where you go to get a new key for your Honda, you\u2019ll likely need to show proof of ownership of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jerry insight<\/span>Avoid aftermarket keys. You may see online retailers offering inexpensive aftermarket keys for your Honda, but dealerships have reported mixed results when trying to program these keys \u2014 and you\u2019ll likely be charged for the programming service even if it fails. So it\u2019s usually best to purchase a key directly from the dealership.<\/span><\/div>

Will my old key still work if I find it later?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chances are high that your old key will not work after you get a replacement. When you get a new key, you car is programmed to respond to the signal from that key. The old key may work to open the doors, but it probably won\u2019t start the ignition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might seem inconvenient, but this is actually a safety feature that helps protect you from theft if someone else finds your key. However, you may be able to take your old key to the Honda dealership to have it reprogrammed to match your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
