2008 Honda Civic Remote head key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Here's exactly what happens when I replace a 2008 Honda Civic key. I verify your identity and vehicle ownership. Then I decode the lock and cut the blade so the mechanical side is perfect. From there I connect my IM608 to the OBD port under your dash, access the immobilizer module, and run the key learn sequence through the security countdown. After that, I test. Not just "does it start." I test every button, the remote range from 30 feet, the lock and unlock, the trunk or hatch, and remote start if equipped. Then I start the car three times in a row to confirm there's nothing intermittent.

A rec league basketball player at the courts in Thousand Oaks watched me work on his Civic and said the testing was the part that surprised him. He expected me to hand him the key and leave. Instead I stood at his car for five extra minutes pressing every button, walking away and pressing again, starting the car and shutting it off repeatedly.

His fob, FCC ID N5F-S0084A, was a 4-button smart key. I confirmed every button, tested the range from 30 feet, and did three clean starts in a row. I told him that testing is the part most locksmiths skip, and it's also the part that catches problems before they strand you somewhere.

That testing process is the same on every job, and it's included in the 185 I charge. Dealers charge 395 and some skip the thorough testing entirely.
