HISS Key replacement UK

[peterbaron]

So I contacted Honda Dealers UK to get a replacement key

Their response

Blank Key £86.46

Key Cutting £15

Key Coding £48

Total £149.46

So I bought 2 genuine Honda key blanks from Japan  (35121-MGP-D01)

£45 for two blanks postage and VAT to UK was £24.00

Had local locksmith cut them (he did 2 for £20)

Bought a HISS programming cable from ebay (you can make it yourself but the parts were about the same price as ready made lead) £19.99

Total cost £109

!0 minutes to recode and there you have two new original Honda keys for £40 less than 1 new key from dealer :-)

… and no charge for unpacking the keys..?
That was very kind of them.
