Wanted to close out this old thread since the CK-100 is more expensive.

It's cheaper to purchase an Autel AP200 ($50-60 on Amazon - be sure to buy the white one, not the red one AP2500), and program your keys. It comes with one free manufacturer software (choose Honda). Just like the CK-100, it erases all the keys stored in your ECU and then adds in all the ones you want. The advantages of the AP200 is that there are no "tokens" to purchase, it's cheaper to buy, you keep it for future OBD2 detailed diagnostics of your Honda, and can use it for generic diagnostics of other makes like any other OBD2 tool (but you can buy other brands software for $15/year if you need to).

Dude, shout-out to you man. You revived an older thread to post a better up-to-date solution. I was going to go the CK route or pay someone else but I'm glad I came across your comment! Can confirm the Autel AP200 works for adding/reprogramming keys.
I bought a HD106 key from amazon (Just be sure it is NOT a T5 stamped key) and the Autel programmed it to the car without issue. Now I finally have 2 keys lol.
