1997 Honda Prelude Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A trail runner near Channel Islands Harbor texted me on a Saturday afternoon. He'd been out on a path along the water, keys in his shorts pocket, and somewhere on the trail they were gone. Not in the car, not on the ground near the trailhead, just gone. His 1997 Prelude was sitting in a lot, locked, no key, no dealer open on a weekend, and no way to move it without help.
He dropped me his GPS pin. I loaded up the van and drove out to him.
The Prelude is a fifth-gen car, and these came from the factory with a transponder system that Honda was rolling out across the lineup in that era. The key head holds the chip. There's no remote, no buttons, just a key that has to match the immobilizer to let the engine run. I decoded the lock, cut a replacement key to his vehicle, and programmed the chip on-site using my equipment. We turned it over right there in the lot.
It started clean. He'd been sitting on a curb for two hours before I got there, and the whole job from my arrival to him driving out took under an hour.
He mentioned almost calling the dealer first, then realizing they were closed. That detail didn't surprise me at all.

“I needed a car key replacement in Hillcrest and EZ Car Keyz helped me immediately. The technician programmed a new smart key right next to my car and tested every function before leaving. Fast, friendly, and very professional.”
“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”
“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
