My daughter has a 2007 Honda CR-V. The keys were lost and she had to have a locksmith make a new?

Question

...  key. Now she has lost that key. I found one of the original keys but it does not work. It will start the car and then shuts off. I assume that the key is not coded properly therefore it disables the engine's fuel system. Honda says they can recode the key for $90 but the vehicle would need to be towed to them. Can a locksmith go to her and recode the key?

Answer

Cars nowadays have a radio chip built into the key so the car will not actually run without both the correct key and the correct radio chip. A locksmith can duplicate both, but you would have to ask about making a radio chip without one to duplicate.
