ok i’m quite certain i’ve misplaced the key for the civic and am not going to find it any time soon. what i need to know is:
how much will it cost?
what will i need to bring to the stealership with me?
Anyone that has a hookup or can get me a deal somehow?
Thanks all
Mike

what is the year of ur car?
are you 100% sure that you don’t have a backup?
you can easily make a duplicate for 6thgen civic on walmart…7thgen’s mobilizer key, you gotta make it on the dealer…
if ur the first owner of that car…try to find the paper “key” which contains the combination to create new key…
hope this helps 🙂
ps. try to search ur key again later…you may find it…lol

u need VIN…call the dealer they can cut one with just the VIN they keep that shit on record…dealer keys are like 5 bux since urs doesnt have a chip in it…
i had to do this with my old maxima…they may ask for proof of ownership which is no big deal…i lost my keys in a snow bank

cant you take the lock cylinder to a locksmith and have them make you a new key. Might be cheaper than the dealership

But at same time, it’d be easier to just have a stealership cut a new key using the VIN to retrieve the pattern.

kk end result for peopel that don’t know total cost to me was $2.71 after tax … so FYI it was dirt cheap … and no anywhere near worth the time searching for the key.
