Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in San Diego

2014 Honda FIT Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

She was at a taco stand patio in Downtown Ramona after a long shift when her bag disappeared off the table. Keys, wallet, phone, all of it gone. She borrowed the cashier's phone, called the police, then her sister, then me.

Her 2014 Honda Fit was sitting in the lot with zero keys to its name.

Her sister had already called the dealer. The estimate involved towing the car in, ordering a key with a few days' wait, and a separate recommendation to rekey the locks because whoever took the bag could still physically open the car. The total they were looking at was not a small number.

I got to the lot that night. All-keys-lost on a Honda is a different procedure than adding a spare key. When you already have one working key, the car trusts it and you're just enrolling a second. When every key is gone, you have to clear the existing key memory entirely and start fresh. I pulled up the immobilizer through the diagnostic port, wiped the old key data so the stolen key would never start the car again, and programmed two new keys from scratch. Both keys got cut to the vehicle and tested in the ignition. Both started the car.

She had working keys before the police called back.

The stolen key can still physically turn the door lock, but the immobilizer will not let the engine run. That was the part that mattered most to her. The dealer route would have meant a tow, a multi-day wait, and a bill that was a significant chunk more. She drove home that night.
