mybikemylife Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 most probably someone may have done this already so seeking advise on where and how to get a spare key cheaper in Australia ? Dealer cost is approx $240 and am thinking if can have one more spare key to leave at the office, in case of emergency. Quote
StubyDoo Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 I got one cut and coded by a locksmith here in the UK and it was half the cost of a dealer key. Try Googling Auto Locksmith. Quote
Member Contributer RC36Rider Posted July 30, 2017 Member Contributer Posted July 30, 2017 I'm pretty sure there is at least one Aussie who got a suitable key for cheap (from eBay?). Google using "site:vfrdiscussion.com". Quote
Member Contributer Grum Posted July 30, 2017 Member Contributer Posted July 30, 2017 The thing is he will need a transponder key as the Aussie models have the Honda Ignition Security System HISS. The service manual for the 8th gen (available for download on this site) doesn't seem to cover the HISS or the method of programming another key. Wonder if its the same procedure for the 6th gen?

Member Contributer JZH Posted July 31, 2017 Member Contributer Posted July 31, 2017 It wouldn't surprise me at all if the HISS systems were the same. Blank keys can be purchased online, as can the transponder chips. There are videos out there showing how to make a programming lead and how to use it to program the new transponder chip/key.

Ciao, Pretty sure Kaldek ordered a key from keys in the post. https://keysinthepost.comIt's a UK site by they probably post over seas. I've used them for hiss and non hiss keys. I use the non hiss for fuel cap and seat as its less suspectable to bending.Take a photo of your key and of you have they key number supply that as well.All keys worked perfectly.Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Quote

mybikemylife Posted August 3, 2017 Author Posted August 3, 2017 thanks for the feedback and suggestions so far. I will look into all options. apart from above, I contacted a (Wyn locks) locksmith based in Preston Suburb ( Victoria), quoted $120 to duplicate the keys. I may check out his shop at some stage as well. Quote
billford Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Well when i was needed to program my car key i had contacted locksmith newman for help. They had programmed it at very reasonable cost!! Quote
allencooper Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Locksmith can cost very competitive as compared to the dealer for programming the car key. You can compare their price by experiencing them with locksmith. Quote
Member Contributer Woodie Posted January 15, 2018 Member Contributer Posted January 15, 2018 I followed that video and sorted it myself, very informative and easy to follow. The leads cost me £5:00 to make and the key was under £5:00. my local key cutter wouldn't touch it so I cut it with a Dremel and a needle file. Quote
Member Contributer JZH Posted January 16, 2018 Member Contributer Posted January 16, 2018 The bots are here--run away!! Ciao, Quote
yogisays09 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 These immobilizer keys are very cheap if you get the ID46 transponders separately and blanks keys separate. 10pcs chips n 10pcs keys shouldnot cost more than $20. And programming is free as you do it urself. Thanks to the chinese at our help these bits cost peanuts. Quote
