I got an accord key to work.....


I posted more info about it on my blog http://thes2kandtheant.wordpress.com...cord-retrofit/

 

I am interested in a flip key also.

Quick Amazon search led me to this slider key: http://www.amazon.com/2005-Honda-S20...607492&sr=8-11

But it also looks flimsy and I don't want to ruin my one good key ruining a good transponder.

I will be following this thread and doing some more research that I hope to contribute.

 

I've had that exact key. It's cool for the very first time. No more
Mine broke after 6 months.

 

So since im using a AEM EMS I shouldnt have to worry about cutting a stock key open to get the immobilizer chip out right? I should be able to just get the key cut and it should work since im running a stand alone EMS? Anyone conform this for me?

 

I personally don't think this one looks very nice.

 

yes you no longer have an immobilizer.

 

In your blog entry you mention that you swapped over the internals. Does that refer to the remote or the immobilizer also? Or did you get the new key immobilizer programed by a Honda dealership?

 

I swapped over the immobilizer chip from my s2k key in case I ever want to go back to a stock ECU. I have Kpro, which disables the immobilizer.

 

One more point of confusion. Just to clarify: you took the inside of the S2K fob and put it inside the new Accord key? Is that correct?

It does not seem that the S2K fob internals would fit into the Accord all-in-one key.

The circuit board near the top of this ( https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/gallery/p...946__file__med ) picture shows that the vertical distance of the panic button to the unlock button is nearly twice the distance of the lock to the unlock button. In your image ( http://thes2kandtheant.files.wordpre...pg?w=950&h=712 ) It seems that distance of the unlock button to the panic button is equal to that of the lock button to the unlock button.

Do you have an image of the internals of the Accord key you used before you put it together?

EDIT: NM Just figured out you used a UK fob which most likely has different size than USDM. My search for answers continues... My ultimate goal would be to put the standard fob internals inside a key like that. I don't mind sacrificing the panic button. Perhaps it's possible to cut the circuit board north of the panic button and it would still work? Not an electronics expert so I can't tell. Anyone know?

 

The key is still pretty much a UK standard accord key, I didn't swap the internals of the s2k key with anything, except the immobilizer chip. The only issue really preventing us from using a usdm accord key is the frequency of which our keys work on. I hope this helps.
