Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

2009 Honda Pilot Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A woman near Sespe Creek in Fillmore called from a borrowed phone. Someone had grabbed her bag off a patio table while she was eating after a long shift. Keys, wallet, phone, all gone.

Her 2009 Honda Pilot was sitting in the lot with zero keys. Her sister called the dealer and got the rundown: order the key, tow the car in, wait three to five business days. They also recommended rekeying the locks since the stolen key could still physically open the doors. That whole package added up to way more than she was expecting.

I got out there that night. All-keys-lost on these is a different procedure than adding a spare. Adding a key means the car already trusts one in the ignition and you piggyback off that trust. AKL means I wipe the 38350-SZA immobilizer module clean and start fresh. I used my IM608 to clear the old key data so the stolen KR55WK49308 would never start that engine again, then programmed two new ID46 chips from scratch. Decoded the lock cylinder with my Lishi HU66, cut both emergency blades on site.

She stood there watching the whole time, arms crossed, not saying much. When the engine turned over on the first try she just nodded slowly, like she was deciding whether to believe it.

She drove home that night. The stolen key can still physically turn the door lock, but the immobilizer will never let that engine fire.
