The Honda Accord has used several key systems between 2007 and 2024, from bladed transponder keys to flip keys to push-button start fobs. Which one your car uses depends on the model year and trim, so the exact key, chip and programming depend on your trim and VIN. We confirm the correct key by VIN before any cutting or programming begins.
Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no shop to tow your car to. A technician comes to wherever the Accord is parked, whether that is your home, workplace, a parking structure or the roadside, and works on site.
Whether you need a spare key before you lose your only one, or you have lost every key and cannot start the car, we can help. An all-keys-lost situation is handled differently from adding a spare, but both can generally be done at your vehicle once ownership is verified.
Honda Accord key systems by year
Earlier years: Bladed transponder (chip) key with remote entry
These Accords generally use a traditional-looking metal blade key with a plastic head that contains a transponder chip, often paired with a separate remote for lock and unlock. The blade is cut to match the locks, and the chip must be programmed so the immobilizer allows the engine to start. If you have no working key, a new one can usually be made from the vehicle's VIN-based information. The exact key and programming depend on your trim and VIN, which we confirm before cutting.
Middle years: Remote-head/flip transponder key; proximity Smart Entry on higher trims
Mid-cycle Accords commonly use a remote-head or flip key, where the blade folds into a fob that includes the remote buttons and a transponder chip. Higher trims may instead have a proximity Smart Entry system that lets you unlock and start without using a blade. Replacement involves cutting the blade where applicable and programming the remote and chip to the car. Because the system varies by trim, we verify by VIN which type your Accord needs before we cut or program anything.
Recent years: Proximity Smart Entry fob with push-button start on most trims
Recent Accords mostly use a proximity Smart Entry fob that stays in your pocket or bag, with push-button start. The fob usually contains a small emergency key blade for the door. Replacement means supplying a compatible fob and programming it to the vehicle, which typically requires specialized equipment and verified ownership. The exact fob and procedure depend on trim and VIN, and we confirm the correct key by VIN first.
Exact key, chip and programming vary by trim and VIN — we confirm the right key for your car before cutting.
