New car key

[Deleted member 294929]

I need a new car key. Who has experience of ordering online.

This is for a 2010 Honda CRV

I have a Honda key code; I thought that would be the information needed???

There are usually two elements to getting a new key although I have no experience of this Honda model. The key code that you have will allow someone to cut a new key with the correct shape which will unlock the car door, this is usually fairly cheap. The transponder in the key will then need coding/programming to communicate with the car electronically to allow it to disarm the alarm/immobiliser and start the engine. This operation often costs upwards of £100.

If you see salvage rebuilds uk on you tube, they use a mobile guy who can cut and program a key.

Hardly. The two blokes on Salvage Rebuilds are one hundred percent diamond geezers from your neck of the woods.

The SRUK guys are in Kent- Medway/Sheppey way I think. The key guy is in London.

Got a good home service from a timpsons franchise holder but price has gone up a lot when I checked (remote key)

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

If the price of a replacement yale key is anything to go by, Timpsons are about 3X the price of an independent.

I avoid the local timpsons unless theres no alternative. A lot of the apparently independent replacement car key/fob suppliers just rent a web page from the domain holder.
