Quick 2012 Honda CR-Z transponder key cut by EZ Car Keyz Ventura CA
🔧 PRO TIP
The 2012 CR-Z uses Honda's older HITAG 2 (ID46) transponder chip inside a remote head key, FCC ID MLBHLIK-1T. That's the same platform as the eighth-gen Civic. The remote side runs on a CR1616, but the transponder is passive, no battery needed. So if your CR1616 dies, the buttons go dead but the car should still start if you turn the blade. If it won't start AND the remote is dead, you've got two separate problems. Don't let someone sell you a whole new key when a battery and a reprogram might fix both.

2012 Honda CR-Z Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Out near Lake Casitas Recreation Area in Ventura, a guy with a 2012 CR-Z called me from a pharmacy parking lot. His key had quit on him completely. No remote response, no start. He was diabetic, needed to get home for his insulin, and couldn't wait around.

He had already called the dealer. Earliest opening was the next day. That's not a scheduling problem. That's a health problem.

I was about 15 minutes out. When I got there, I opened the car and plugged my IM608 into the OBD-II port under the dash. His remote head key, the MLBHLIK-1T with the Honda part number 35111-SWA-306, had a completely dead CR1616. That explained the remote failure. But the no-start was a separate issue. He had jump-started the car earlier that week, and the immobilizer had lost transponder sync. The HITAG 2 chip was fine, just needed to be re-registered to the body control module.

Swapped the CR1616, ran the transponder relearn through OBD, then tested lock, unlock, trunk, and engine start. All back. I walked him through the emergency blade start procedure too, just so he'd know the car can still turn over even if a battery dies on the fob again.

Phone call to engine running, about 40 minutes. He drove straight to his prescription and headed home. The dealer would have had him waiting until tomorrow for a fraction of the work I did on the spot.

“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”

Honda CR-Z Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

How do I spot a scam locksmith before they show up to my 2012 CR-Z?
Three things. First, they won't give a firm price for your specific car on the phone. They'll say "starting at" some low number and then inflate it on site. Second, they show up in an unmarked car with no company branding. Third, they want cash only and won't provide a written estimate. Real automotive locksmiths carry a California BSIS locksmith license, show up in a marked vehicle, and can tell you exactly what key type your CR-Z uses before they arrive. If they can't say "MLBHLIK-1T" or "remote head key with ID46 chip," keep looking.
