Review on STAUBER Best Honda Key Shell Replacement for Civic, Odyssey, and Crosstour - No Locksmith Needed - Reuse Your Old Key and Chip! (3 Button, Black) by Kenny Sanchez

Like other reviewers I am very happy with this replacement key shell. Doesn't really look like the original key but good enough for my 10 year old Honda, certainly better than spending hundreds at the dealer. A few key points 1) I need to use the exit knife to trim the corners of the main cavity in order to properly install the remote module (the 3 button thing). Otherwise, if you force it in, the buttons will rub against the holes and the buttons will get stuck. 2) Don't forget to also transfer the RF ID chip from the original key. I use a glue gun to attach this chip to the empty spot in the corner of the cavity. You may notice that the original key's gray tab hides the RF ID chip. Note that the RF ID chip is shaped like a small glass pill, not the gray tab itself. Be careful not to lose or damage it or you will be taken to the dealer. The body of the key is solid and the two halves of the body fit tightly together with no gaps. On the body you can see some dents from the injection molding, but this is not a series. Reliable, working replacement for my original Honda key.
