2000 Honda S2000
Licensed Key Replacement in Santa Barbara County

Q: What is a transponder key?

A transponder key is the type of key your 2000 Honda S2000 uses. It contains a programmed transponder chip that communicates with your vehicle immobilizer system to authorize the engine to start. It also has 3 buttons for remote lock, unlock, and other functions. Without proper programming, even a perfectly cut key will be rejected by your Honda security system. We program everything on site so your new key works exactly like the original.

Q: My Honda says key not detected. What do I do?

Start with the fob battery. That is the most common cause of key-not-detected errors on Hondas. Replace the coin cell and try again. If it still does not work, hold the fob directly against the start button and press the brake. This uses the backup proximity signal and will start the car if the battery is just weak. If neither works, the issue could be a faulty fob, a weak vehicle battery, or a receiver problem. Civic and Accord owners on forums report intermittent key-not-detected errors that turned out to be interference from phones or laptops in the same bag as the fob.

Q: What is the FCC ID for the 2000 Honda S2000 key?

The FCC ID is N/A. This is the identifier printed on the back of your key fob that tells us exactly which key your vehicle requires. It ensures we match the correct blank, chip frequency, and remote protocol so the key programs correctly on the first attempt. Having this number ready when you call speeds up the process and confirms we are bringing the right key to your location.

Q: Is all-keys-lost more expensive than a regular replacement?

Yes. When you have at least one working key, adding a spare on a Honda is a straightforward programming job. Locksmith pricing for an add-a-key on a CR-V or Accord typically runs 120 to 180. When all keys are lost, the immobilizer has to be reset and every key reprogrammed from scratch, which takes more time and more involved procedures. An Odyssey dealer quoted 541 plus programming and tow for AKL. Even with a locksmith, AKL is typically 2 to 3 times the cost of adding a spare. That is why we always recommend getting a backup made while you still have a working key.

🔧 PRO TIP

Most Honda smart keys use a CR2032 battery. If your fob stops working after a battery change, check the edge contact clip inside the case. It can bend away from the coin cell and lose connection. A small nudge back into place fixes it.

2000 Honda S2000 Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

BSIS license LCO#6792 means I passed California's background check, maintain active liability insurance, and operate a registered locksmith company. NASTF certification means I have access to the factory security database that provides key codes and immobilizer data unlicensed operators can't get. Google Guaranteed means Google verified my license and insurance independently.

A patient arriving for dialysis near Carpinteria Valley Museum told me she'd verified my license number before calling. Her previous locksmith had no license at all. She found that out after the job when his "receipt" had no company name, no license number, and no phone number that worked a week later. She needed a spare for her 2000 Honda S2000 and wasn't taking chances this time.

NASTF access specifically matters on Honda because it gives me factory security data for the immobilizer. When I program a key using my ACDP or any of my other tools, the NASTF database provides the original codes that verify my access is authorized. Unlicensed locksmiths working without NASTF have to use workarounds that are less reliable and sometimes leave error codes in the system. Her fob, FCC ID , was programmed using the correct factory data path.

Her spare cost 135. Dealer quoted 316 over the phone. I gave her a real receipt with a real license number, a real phone number, and a real company van with the name on it. She said that alone was worth the call. You can look up LCO#6792 on the BSIS website right now. It's public record.

Honda S2000 Emergency Key Replacement FAQ

Mobile service FAQ

My key broke in the ignition. Can you get it out?▼

Yes. Broken Honda keys are one of the most common calls we handle. Honda remote-head and flip keys are known for a thin plastic joint that holds the blade, and they snap at that point regularly. A locksmith article specifically about Hondas calls it a design weakness with a very thin strip of weak plastic and a tiny screw. We extract the broken piece, move your existing chip and remote electronics into a stronger aftermarket shell, and cut a new blade. No need for a new key from scratch and no reprogramming in most cases.
