2017 Honda CR-V Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Lock decoding means I read your car's lock to create a key without drilling anything, without breaking anything, and without replacing the lock cylinder. The car looks exactly the same when I leave.

A commuter pulled over on the freeway shoulder in Rancho Bernardo had his key snap inside the ignition of his 2017 Honda CR-V. The blade broke clean in half. He called another locksmith first, and that locksmith told him the ignition cylinder would need to be drilled out and replaced. That would have meant new keys, a new cylinder, and a bill pushing $500. He called me for a second opinion.

I used my HO01 Lishi to extract the broken blade fragment from the ignition without scratching the wafer surfaces inside. Once it was out, I decoded the lock by reading each wafer position, which gave me the exact cut depths for a new key without needing the original. His car used a separate remote fob, FCC ID KR5V2X, and a standalone transponder key. I cut the new blade from the decode and programmed the transponder chip through OBD.

No drilling and no cylinder replacement. His total was $264. The other locksmith's plan would have been $468 or more with a new cylinder and keys. His original lock works with the new key exactly like it worked with the old one.
