I got two keys with my '05 Accord 2.0 Tourer poverty spec wot I bought last January.
Both have got copious amounts of black tape holding them together.
I have taken the tape off the main key, and the key blade is looser than a very loose thing.
I can see some key fob blanks advertised on ebay for about £6, but the seller seems to have had a fair bit of bad feedback about keys not working etc.
All I really need is the keycase, then hopefully I can transfer the circuit board, battery, buttons and key blade from my knackered key case into the new one, and Hey Presto: banish knackered key misery forever.
There ain't no way I'm paying £200 for a new key from Honda.
Has anyone tried this? any other suggestions? I need the 3 button case 'cos I've got the remote boot release thing which, amazingly, still works.
Thanks in advance - cheers - philip
