How to Replace a New Honda Car Key

Misplacing car keys is no fun and can sometimes be a hassle when trying to look for them.  Honda car keys now have more electronic computerized data and theft protection. Replacing a key for a new Honda car can be easy or difficult. 

• Find the key number tag.  Call the Honda dealer where the car was originally purchased if you cannot find the key tag number. The location of the key tag number may vary depending on the type of car and the year it was made.  A new Honda car key tag number has a bar code with numbers after it. The key tag number contains necessary electronic information to your car.

• Contact any Honda dealer and order a replacement key using the key tag number. Choose the type of replacement key between a master and valet. The only technical difference between the two keys is the valet key does not have a remote transmitter. You have to use the valet key itself by placing it into the keyhole to lock and unlock everything.

• Pay the Honda dealer for the replacement key. The price of the replacement key will depend on the car, model and year.

The process to replace a Honda car is easier if you have the key tag number.  It may take a little longer if the key tag number is not found and you may have to show proof of ownership.  The Honda dealer where the car was originally purchased will be able to guide you in the right direction.
