near dave and busters towards the back side of the mall. near the parking structure entrance.
Anyone know if this guy is still at the great mall?

I FRIGGIN HATE OUR KEYS! I wish someone would just get around to standardizing FOB components and shells so any guts can go in any number of choice containers.

If you buy this key ($130): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Hond...item2a1c618ad2 <-- I have a 2006

What else needs doing?
-----------------------------
1) I see it needs to be cut, where and how much is good?
2) Programming? where and how much is good?
i'm not sure if hes there anymore. you may want to try oakridge mall. i remember seeing a stand that sells/cuts/programs keys near Forever 21 on my way to cheesecake factory.

For a minute this just sounds like, "a guy".
I'm sure he'd take your car for a week long spin to test out the car as well.

it would be pretty hard to copy a key without an original key present... but then again.. like in the movie gone in 60 seconds... you can go down to the dealer and pay for a set of keys with someone elses vin...

Are you pre 06? Honda changed the security in the 06+ keys and I haven't been able to find someone that can make a copy, other than the dealer. Everywhere I called said they could do it, but they all failed.

Like an above poster said, it will depend on model year. When I purchased my MY03 it only came with one key and fob. I went to a Honda dealer and got a key, a fob and the reprogramming for $160. This was in Southern California at Scott Robinson Honda about two and a half years ago.

I've heard that some "smart" keys can be replaced at a hardware store, but it's dependent on the make, model and year of the car.
went to greatmall, walked around. saw a key master kiosk, asked the key guy. left my keys, came back with a new duplicate, $85.
