Damn, my local dealership wants almost $500 to cut and program a key. Needless to say i dont need another key that bad. Ive heard rumors about lowes and ace etc cutting keys. Do you then have to take the car to the dealer to get it programed? Or is it basicly heres my key, they make a copy, and your good to go? I have an '07 if that matters.

My wife "Cleaned" the house and now we can't find the normal black key for my S (It is a 2005).
Went to Lowe's and they said they can't cut that type of key.
Went to a local locksmith and they said no problem and they wanted $50.00. That includes a new blank, cut and program.
Just for comparison I called 2 local dealers. One said cutting the key would be free but the blank would cost $32.55 and then programming would be $52.00. The next dealer said cutting and programming would be free, a blank would cost $25.95.
Needless to say I am going up to the more inexpensive dealer this afternoon and pick up a new key

Check with the dealer and see if they are able to get you a T5 key. I am a Honda service advisor and I also drive a 2005 S2000. I got a new Honda key as soon as I purchased the S. Parts was able to cut and program me a T5 key (it says T5 on the actual key itself). That key was able to be programmed at parts, no technician needed. They have a special machine for it and there should be no programming labor charge. It will be just a regular Honda key with a black 'H' symbol but it saves you the xx amount in labor charges.

So, did you end up getting the $25.95 price?

Out the door with tax was less than $27.00.
