Cutting NOT Required - Key Fob Keyless Entry Remote Shell Case & Pad fits Honda 2003-2012 Accord / 2006-2013 Civic EX / 2009-2015 Pilot /2005-2006 CR-V

My key fob was sadly coming apart. After getting a new battery put in at one of my oil changes; I noticed the connection from front to back was loose and then at some point it would not stay together. I ended up duct taping it together as I was told a new key fob was really expensive. I was so happy when someone shared that they had seen a key fob for Honda on Amazon. So for such a low price, it was worth a try. I was so happy that this fit perfectly. The assembly was pretty easy but I did struggle a little to align everything up and wasn’t sure how hard I could push as I didn’t want to break it. I may need to change the battery now, but it does work and bonus I don’t need duct tape any longer.

Got this for a 2005 Accord key where the plastic around the metal blade had started to crack badly. I expected this to be a very quick install, but it ended up being a lot more involved than I expected. Not surprisingly, the instructions are very limited - here are some things I found that I hope you may find useful. 1) Your old metal blade may be very hard to remove from the old key housing. In my case, since it was already cracking around it, I was able to snap it out, but if the housing wasn't damaged around the blade you may need to use side cutters to cut the plastic off around it. Trying to lever the key out of the housing may result in bending it if the plastic isn't already cracked - so be careful. 2a) If you have a transponder (I did! See the first and second photos) you may be in for a wild ride figuring out how to deal with it. To start, it was incredibly difficult to remove, in addition to being press fit into the top plastic shell with a little cap over it, one end had a small blob of glue holding it in place. I ended up needing to cut out the plastic around it with an x-acto knife to free it. 2b) Once the chip is out, there's no way to mount it like in the OEM key, just a space where it can go. It will definitely rattle around, and if the key ever cracks open for any reason it will almost certainly be lost - meaning you won't be able to start the car. I ended up using two little blobs of hot glue, one in the bottom of the spot where the chip sits, and then one along the top edge of the remote unit. If you choose to use glue, make sure you use a glue that can be removed! I almost used epoxy but then realized I would never be able to get the remote out to change the battery! Hot glue will keep it from rattling around inside, but then can be peeled off later when it's time to change the battery. 3) The plastic frame that slides over the blade fits VERY snugly. If you have any crud on the blade, especially around the bottom, it will have a hard time going down. Clean the blade with an alcohol wipe or similar to get around this. Once it's clean, note the orientation of the frame to the blade, there's a taper at the bottom that should be clear, then pull the frame down with even pressure one each side. The hole in the blade may not perfectly align with the holes in the frame. Mine still ended up going together just fine despite this, but be aware of it. 4) The blade/frame piece does not float between the two halves of the housing, it mounts into the back half. There are grooves it will slide into, then click into place. Again, if you look closely, it will be intuitive. 5) The halves hinge together from the back of the housing, at the key ring slot. 6) Do not over-tighten the screw - if it's not going in smoothly, take it out and make sure it's aligned well. Once it's all the way in, don't "torque" it down - you'll either snap it in half or strip the threading in the housing. This is a good product at a great price and I expect it will hold up well, but take care when assembling it or you'll end up buying another one.

Key broke out of the original plastic housing so I ordered this and it worked great. Installed it following the instructions and it feels more sturdy than the original. Everything fit great and it looks great too.

It works great, fit great. Only issue is it only lasted a little over a year before the plastic broke. It takes just a few minutes at most to swap them out (for 8th gen civic at least) and I bought the 2 pack for $10 so its not that big a deal. I also am a gig driver so I'm always fumbling with the keys all day long every day.

I repaired the key for my Honda Pilot without any problems! Fast delivery, works perfectly; it is a truly high-quality product at a reasonable price. I would buy it again—I give it a 10 out of 10!

Ordered this as replacement to 2012 Honda Pilot key shell as it broke. All components fit like a glove and were easy to install. I did have to force to close at the end but it snapped right in. Note that this is just a shell and current metal key along with control need to be placed inside this shell so no programming required. But also this does not include controls or metal piece to cut.

Now that I have your attention, please look at this review carefully in order to do it the right way. Lots of reviewers are saying it's junk and that it doesn't line up properly, but fortunately that's false, as they did not install it right, and there is only one right way to install it right. For the people who weren't successful, its not their fault as the instructions are garbage. 1. First of all, like mine was, many of yours keys have broken from the point where the metal key meets the plastic case housing and the plastic piece that slips on to the metal key, so I think thats where there was alot of confusion as to why the new piece does not line up with the metal key hole. Also when taking apart your old key, check to see if your key has a transponder, a little piece that either gets stuck on the plastic housing with the logo side, or just falls out when you take it apart. Do not lose this piece. Mine did not have it but some Honda keys like the Accord does. I have the Honda Pilot key. Now: *IMPORTANT* Once you have everything disassembled, take the smallest plastic piece that looks like the Pizza Hut logo, and SLIDE IT onto the metal key, it slides on both ways. THIS MIGHT BE DIFFICULT as other people have said. The hole on the metal key WILL line up with the plastic pizza hut piece hole. 2. *MOST IMPORTANT PART* Notice the notches on the Pizza Hut piece, these notches also *SLIDE IN* to the plastic housing piece that has the Honda logo on it. Look at my pictures, it SLIDES into the housing from the inside and outward, this allows the key to fit in snug and not move. IF YOU DO NOT SLIDE IT IN, and just place it in to the plastic housing, it will not align properly and when it all goes back together, it will be slightly cracked open and will break very soon. 3. This next step is where you will need a bit of tape or light to medium loctite or similar glue and place your transponder on the right side of the housing where the holes for the buttons are. If you notice on the piece that has the physical buttons on it, there is a cut out groove where the tiny transponder goes. That is where the transponder has to be glued in. 4. Place the piece that has the physical buttons and place it onto the plastic housing key with the holes, ensure that the grooves drop in with the transponder. Let it dry. 5. Take the plastic piece with your metal key and place it on top of the piece with the buttons, apply pressure to snap everything in place, and both pieces with be aligned with no gaps and sturdy. Screw in the new screw to secure everything together.

Item did what I was supposed to but if you can’t afford to have the key reprogrammed I recommend keeping the top half of old key fob (has transmitter ) and the bottom of new key fob to screw in key and then tape it together. I tried to use just the new fob and my car would play radio , lock/unlock, windows worked. But it would not start! Until I did what I recommended in the beginning of this review. Best of luck

Quedo excelente a mi llave del coche

Cette coquille permet de retrouver le plein usage de la clé et nous fait ainsi épargner beaucoup d’argent. Il est facile à utiliser et nous redonne une clé neuve.

Llego rápido y la verdad muy fácil de instalar la llave, el material se ve de buena calidad. Lo único que le faltó es el logo de HONDA en la parte posterior pero fuera de eso todo excelente. Y el destornillador es un plus.

Muy buen producto

Quedaron perfectamente para las llaves de un honda civic 2013, el único motivo por el cual no le doy 5 estrellas es por que las instrucciones están un poco confusas?. Pero recomiendo venir a los comentarios si te hayas en problemas al ensamblar la funda. Fuera de ese detalle super recomendada para una solución económica para tus llaves.
