Laser cut keys use a microchip in these to help ensure that the key that you have is only going to work with your car.
Likewise, if your neighbour has the same Honda, then only their key should work for their car. If they tried to use their key on your car, then it should not start. It is a security measure that a lot of vehicle manufacturers are doing these days to help cut down on vehicle theft.
With this being said, that is a huge plus for this type of key.
Since this takes a specialist to duplicate car key, you are going to find that it becomes extremely hard for people to try to do this, which has once again resulted in less of the Honda’s being stolen.
However, since this is a high tech piece of equipment, it comes as no surprise that after years of use, this key presents an issue.
There are several things that can happen if a person were to get into an older Honda with these laser cut keys. These issues include:
– The key won’t go into the ignition
– The key can’t be removed from the ignition
– The steering wheel locks not allowing you to remove the key
– The ignition will not turn at all even with the key in this
These are major issue. The good news, On Point Locksmith can help!
