Cutting NOT Required - 2 Key Fob Keyless Entry Remote Shell Case & Pad fits Honda 2003-2012 Accord / 2006-2013 Civic EX / 2009-2015 Pilot /2005-2006 CR-V

2013 Honda Civic SI This works great as an inexpensive replacement for the key fob. I broke my plastic oem key fob, right on the key-ring-attachment loop. I tried to glue it back together, it kinda worked, but looked pretty budget, and I could no longer change the battery in the fob, and then the glue failed, and it broke again, worse than before. I was sad. then I saw this, and thought that it was worth a shot, and it totally was. Very easy to take the necessary parts out of the old fob, and transfer to the this one, and it all fit well, and works perfectly well. I am no longer sad.

Got this for a 2005 Accord key where the plastic around the metal blade had started to crack badly. I expected this to be a very quick install, but it ended up being a lot more involved than I expected. Not surprisingly, the instructions are very limited - here are some things I found that I hope you may find useful. 1) Your old metal blade may be very hard to remove from the old key housing. In my case, since it was already cracking around it, I was able to snap it out, but if the housing wasn't damaged around the blade you may need to use side cutters to cut the plastic off around it. Trying to lever the key out of the housing may result in bending it if the plastic isn't already cracked - so be careful. 2a) If you have a transponder (I did! See the first and second photos) you may be in for a wild ride figuring out how to deal with it. To start, it was incredibly difficult to remove, in addition to being press fit into the top plastic shell with a little cap over it, one end had a small blob of glue holding it in place. I ended up needing to cut out the plastic around it with an x-acto knife to free it. 2b) Once the chip is out, there's no way to mount it like in the OEM key, just a space where it can go. It will definitely rattle around, and if the key ever cracks open for any reason it will almost certainly be lost - meaning you won't be able to start the car. I ended up using two little blobs of hot glue, one in the bottom of the spot where the chip sits, and then one along the top edge of the remote unit. If you choose to use glue, make sure you use a glue that can be removed! I almost used epoxy but then realized I would never be able to get the remote out to change the battery! Hot glue will keep it from rattling around inside, but then can be peeled off later when it's time to change the battery. 3) The plastic frame that slides over the blade fits VERY snugly. If you have any crud on the blade, especially around the bottom, it will have a hard time going down. Clean the blade with an alcohol wipe or similar to get around this. Once it's clean, note the orientation of the frame to the blade, there's a taper at the bottom that should be clear, then pull the frame down with even pressure one each side. The hole in the blade may not perfectly align with the holes in the frame. Mine still ended up going together just fine despite this, but be aware of it. 4) The blade/frame piece does not float between the two halves of the housing, it mounts into the back half. There are grooves it will slide into, then click into place. Again, if you look closely, it will be intuitive. 5) The halves hinge together from the back of the housing, at the key ring slot. 6) Do not over-tighten the screw - if it's not going in smoothly, take it out and make sure it's aligned well. Once it's all the way in, don't "torque" it down - you'll either snap it in half or strip the threading in the housing. This is a good product at a great price and I expect it will hold up well, but take care when assembling it or you'll end up buying another one.

Great choice if your key fob is broken. The kit came with a small screwdriver, which made disassembly and reassembly easy. The housing fit together properly, all the buttons lined up correctly, and everything worked as it should after assembly. The finished product looks good and feels solid, not cheap or flimsy. Overall, I’m very happy with the outcome and would recommend it as a cost-effective replacement.

It works great, fit great. Only issue is it only lasted a little over a year before the plastic broke. It takes just a few minutes at most to swap them out (for 8th gen civic at least) and I bought the 2 pack for $10 so its not that big a deal. I also am a gig driver so I'm always fumbling with the keys all day long every day.

Key Fob did its job. Quick to swap out and looks just like my original key fob. Price is great, better than buying a whole new key.

Perfect replacement for a key fob shell that broke. The clamshell is a perfect fit and in less than two minutes, I was done and ready to go about my day. All the same functionality is retained as the original, with no buttons being jammed up or hard to press. If you're looking for a replacement, look no further - this is it.

I have a Honda Accord 2005 - (FOB has a transponder chip. - I never knew that). Just like many of the thousands of people that have the broken plastic on their Honda Accord Key/FOB, I decided to buy this $6.00 shell and do it myself. Honda service wanted $165.00 to replace it, but I figured a $6.00 part and a ten minute job was the better option for me. Well, it was a bit more challenging than I thought. It took me five minutes to switch the module and key to the new FOB. Pressed the lock/unlock/trunk buttons and it worked fine. Then, I tried to start the car, and the engine would only crank and not start. Hmmm!! So, after watching YouTube to see why his happens, this is where you learn things that you never knew before The old FOB has a transponder chip in a "hidden" slot. When you first open the old FOB, you see the slot but think nothing of it, so you ignore it. Although you think nothing of it, that slot holds the chip. There is a very tiny cover on that slot. Use a small flat screwdriver to pop off the cover to the slot. Then, you need to pull out the tiny chip. In my case, the chip was very tight in that slot. I had to pry away the plastic edges of the slot before the chip came out. After that, I just dropped the chip into a open space on the new FOB. Note: The new FOB does not have the same type of chip slot as the old FOB. The new FOB just has a open space. Because of this, I had to use small pieces of electrical tape to hold the chip into position so that it does not move around. - see attached picture. After all this, the key worked fine and the car started up OK. The buttons line up ok, but are a little deeper (sunken in) a little more than I wanted, but still OK. BTW: Getting the new FOB covers to snap together took many attempts to line up. The covers were prevented from snapping together because that plastic key molding kept kept interfering. I had to shift it back/forth a ton of times before getting the covers to snap together. Important Notes: 1. It was a bit of a struggle to pull out the transponder chip from the old FOB slot. Be careful not to break the chip. 2. The product details on this Amazon page do note that people need to transfer the transponder chip to the new FOB. However, I don't think that people really understand what this means because there is nothing on the old FOB that looks like a chip. The chip is hidden in that plastic slot. 3. There are certain years/models of cars that don't use a transponder chip, thus it would only take a minute to switch to the new FOB - Hence why you see so many good reviews stating it was easy to change out. The seller needs to put that warning in boldface fonts and warning people that they should check their current FOB first. (just a friendly suggestion). 4. If your FOB has a transponder chip, and you are hesitant or not sure how to transfer it to the new FOB, then I suggest you pay Honda the $165.00 to get a replacement. Not worth getting stuck somewhere with your car not starting because you did not change out the chip correctly. Overall, yes, I saved $165.00 and did the job myself for $6.00, but wow, this (the chip) was a challenge. On YouTube, so a search for "Honda Key FOB Immobilizer Hack, Broken Key".

Perfect fit. Exactly what I was looking for after the original fob shell broke. It doesn't have the Honda logo on it but everything was super simple to install just insert the blade into the holder and make sure the actual fob part fits and it closes up nice and screw on the included screw. Just know the key blade insert needs to be slid into the shell it doesn't lay on and snap in. Everything was the same as the original. The key blade holds the key tight and the color looked exactly the same as the original key. After a couple test it all functions the same.
