2001 Honda S2000
Professional Key Replacement in Santa Barbara County

Q: Do I need to tow my car to the dealer if I have no keys?

No. That is the dealer solution, not the only solution. Honda dealers will tell you to tow the car in, and some owners report being told that is their only option. A CR-V owner was told to tow the vehicle to the dealership for an all-keys-lost program. Towing alone adds 100 to 200 to the bill before the dealer even starts. We come to wherever the vehicle is sitting and handle the entire AKL process on site, from decoding and cutting to programming and testing.

Q: How long does an all-keys-lost replacement take?

For most late-model Hondas, the entire process takes 45 to 90 minutes on site. That includes connecting to the immobilizer, running the security procedure, cutting a new key, programming the transponder and remote functions, and testing everything. Honda dealers block 1 to 2 hours of shop time for AKL work, but the real door-to-door time often stretches much longer once you add check-in, waiting for a tech, and parts delays. We get it done in one visit at your location.

Q: What battery does the 2001 Honda S2000 key fob use?

The 2001 Honda S2000 uses a CR2032 battery. You can find them at most auto parts stores or pharmacies for a few dollars. When we make a replacement key, we always install a fresh battery so you are starting with a full charge. If your Honda fob is losing range or acting inconsistent after a battery swap, the issue may be with the fob itself or the vehicle receiver, not the battery.

Q: Can you make a spare at the same time so I have two keys?

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Honda systems are designed to program all keys in one session. When we enter programming mode on your Honda, the car expects every working key to be present because any key not enrolled during the session is dropped from memory. That means adding a second key during the same visit costs much less than coming back for a separate session later. Two keys also means you never end up in another all-keys-lost situation, which is always more expensive than a spare.

🔧 PRO TIP

Honda kept traditional blade keys on base trims (LX) much longer than most people expect. If your Honda is a 2013-2020 model, check whether you have a key slot or a push button before ordering a replacement. The trim level determines the key type.

2001 Honda S2000 Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a rideshare driver at a coin laundry near Carpinteria Salt Marsh Nature Park. He'd already gotten burned once. He called one of those $49 Google ads for his 2001 Honda S2000, the locksmith showed up and charged $450, and the key barely worked. It would start the car but the remote buttons were dead. He found me through Google Guaranteed and the first thing he asked was how he could verify I was legit before spending more money. Fair question.

I gave him my BSIS license number right on the phone, LCO#6792. He looked it up on the state website while we were still talking. I'm also NASTF certified, which means I have access to factory security data that unlicensed guys can't touch. That's the difference between a proper reprogram and a hack job that half-works. I told him I'd fix what the other guy messed up and he'd pay what I quoted, nothing more.

Then I used my Smart Pro to run the full immobilizer sequence on his fob. His transponder key, FCC ID , came back with all buttons working plus a clean engine start. It came out to 97, exactly what I quoted on the phone. Dealer wanted 247 for the same job, and the scam locksmith charged more than both of us and couldn't even finish it.

“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”

What to Do When You Lose Every Honda Key

What to expect when we arrive

I lost all my Honda keys. Can you still make a new one?▼

Yes. All-keys-lost is one of the most common calls we get on Hondas. We connect our scan tool to your 2001 Honda S2000 through the OBD-II port, run the Honda immobilizer procedure to erase old keys and register new ones, cut a fresh blade, and hand you a fully working key. No tow needed, no dealer visit. Civic, Accord, CR-V, Pilot, Odyssey, Fit, and most other Honda models from the late 1990s through current can be handled on site.
