Not a complete key fob. It is basically a sturdier casing than you one you have
If you want the casing, then buy the product. Do not expect the transponder to work. I took it to a reputable locksmith. He had to swap out the old one from my key fob and place it in the new key fob CARTRIDGE. This is not a complete key fob, as it lacks the transponder. It is better than the dilapidated key fob that I had, but it is not a complete key fob. You would be better off, as I am, in buying the original and taking it to a locksmith who will cut and program it for you.
The initial look and feel are identical to the original and seem to be well made. Time will only tell. Some check ones fall apart in few months where the key is mated to the plastic. The listing does not state how many times you can program and I guess similar listings state you can do once. This is if you take it to a locksmith and ask him to clone it. If you program as Honda states the vehicle ECU stores the key info so no issues. There are videos on how to program the key on YT pretty straightforward and it works. I was able to get it registered in my vehicle within few minutes.
Keys have to be cut with a special machine. Cutting a key is very pricy. The buttons on the key fob DO NOT WORK even if one has the original, programmed chip. It will, however, open the door and start the car. Quality issue stems from being made in China.
Product was of good quality and Value but understand you have to go to locksmith to cut key $25 dollars each key where I live and then you have to have them or dealership program it if you want to start your car. Locksmith in my area charge $75 dollars but if your old broke you can take chip out and put in your new key. Thats what I did, youtube it. But if you only want your key to manually or electronically open door locks and trunk its easy to program it yourself again youtube it thats what I did with my second key. The dealerships near me wanted $150-200 per key rip off.
Works with 2007 Honda Fit Sport. I cut the blank off with a Dremel cutting blade. Be careful and take many breaks when cutting the blank to ensure the blank does not get too hot to the touch or it will melt off the plastic housing and leave a big hole inside. Once the blank falls out there's no way to reinsert it without using a heat gun and mangling and warping the entire case.
They are cost-effective replacements and accept programming of the ignition Chip and the remote control as expected, but the blade becomes loose and breaks out of the plastic housing too easily. (This is my second set of two replacement fobs.)
The keys work in the manual locks and could start the car, however the locksmith couldn't get the key to go in programming mode. Had to buy his key fob which programmed effortlessly.
This key fob for my2003 Honda Accord works really great.... I was told that I have to carry my car to the dealer to program. Please these Fobs came with instuction to do it myself... wow
