Transponder advice please.

I hope to be buying a Honda CRV on Monday. Whilst inspecting the car- I asked the dealer if he had both keys and he was unsure. He will check and get back to me Monday.

If it transpires he only has one key - can I get a spare cut from someone who programs and cuts those keys or will it have to be a main dealer job like my Mini was? (I wrongly assumed I could obtain a spare from a forum user but ended up paying £110 through BMW)

If it's a main dealer job then I can ring them for a price and negotiate further with the seller.

 

Also, what about the alarm fob - are these available to order too?

 

Thanks.

If its a main Honda dealer they may well include 2 keys in the sale.

 

I bought a 6 month old Honda civic through our main dealers and it

only had one key.I said i would only be interested in buying if it was supplied with

2 keys to which he replied ALL our second hand vehicles (hondas) are

supplied with 2 keys.This may be a local dealer thing but it may also be

part of honda national sales.

 

We advise all customers who moan about only recieving 1 key with a second

hand vehicle that they (as craig mentioned) make it a condition of the sale before buying.

Thats good info for a friend , but not for my business , i cut loads of second keys for people that have just bought a car only to find it came with 1 key or a key without remote. shhhhhhhh

LOL

So can it be done - if I have only one key when I buy the car?

should be a straight forward job

keys need to be programmed diagnostically and remote manually (some)

also just to add ,some can be cloned .(not remote)

[Iain]

Thanks Scott.
