    OEM Honda Key blanks out of production??

    Well,

    I wanted to have some keys cut for the 87 hatch and get backup keys for the 89 (and a valet key)

    I went to 2 dealers and they only have the Ilco copies. The ones that say HONDA aren't available anymore here.

    Is it the same in the US?

    that's how it seems to be with not only honda, but nissan as well. you can get them cut, but they're fucking ilco blanks, not branded blanks.

    damn, i've been noticing less and less things are still made for our cars. i'm thinking of order the whole damn lock set: doors, trunk, rear seat lock, ignition. i've noticed the driver door is hella sloppy and needs a new cylinder or something. maybe i should just grease that hoe up? lol.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

    Nothing's wrong with the Ilcos.

    But some people like to know that they have a OEM key, and now that they RARE they are more desirable.

    A key's a key whether it's a HONDA OEM key or a Ilco, or another brand all that matters is it locks and unlocks the car. LOL

    next time i'm in the junkyard, i'm going to do some comparisons. length isn't an issue. the key can be cut down or left long, it doesn't matter. as long as the blank fits into the hole, the pattern can be cut.

    Yeah, nothing wrong with Ilco but I prefer to have a key that says Honda.

    The dealer has the machine to cut the keys no problem, they just don't have the HONDA logo anymore.

    I'm not sure if they have the blanks on the links you guys posted. THe local dealer also has these part number listed in the software be he can't order them from the Honda Warehouse.

    I know the link I posted has them in stock.

    due to the fact that I have ordered 10 Keys from them so far.

    If anyone is interested and I can get 10 people who want 2 keys each then I'll place a order and sell them to anyone at my cost + Shipping.

    also cuz my dealer does not do International Shipping

    I'm not sure about the availability of the valet key blanks. A couple of years ago my dealer said he'd have to order a box of I think 30 in order to get one. I sure would like to get another one. Maybe we could do a group buy. Also, I'm going to Montreal to get my SE-i windshield this or next week, maybe the Canadian system has them if they're not available in the USA any more.

    Yeah I've never seen that blank before.


    do you have the part number?

    I'm willing to do a group buy when it comes to my stuff.

    The more I order the cheaper they are. (In relation to shipping)

    Re: OEM Honda Key blanks out of production??

    I'd be willing to buy an OEM blank. Mine broke at the top (where it would go on the key ring, so I cant put it on my key ring anymore. I had to get one made at Lowes, and I also use the Valet one, but that doesnt open the trunk, lock the glovebox, etc.

    Re: OEM Honda Key blanks out of production??

    I sent an email to Majestic Honda (25% off) to see if they could get the valet key blanks. If I have to get a whole box maybe I'll do it and then keep them for members here, or if Forrest89 wants to do it, even better. I have a feeling they're pretty scarce, as I've checked about a half dozen dealers (just walking in, a couple of years ago before I gave up) and no one had one. A couple said they'd have to order a boxfull, but I don't think they actually looked at that time to see if they were available.

    Ok let me know if send send a reply email with a Yes.

    Cuz If I combine a box of those and the reg plastic head blanks then everyone will save.

    I just need get get confirmation from everyone, cuz I dont want to put like $100 out on key blanks and sell only a few.

    I don't mind helping people get these rare and a soon to be gone blanks.
