[Shop-talk] How to get a replacement key for a newer car

[Ronnie Day]

Not sure about MB but Honda keys have a chip in the molded portion of the
key that has to be programmed to talk to a specific car. Getting this done
requires taking the car to a Honda Dealer where they have the necessary
equipment. List is $135.

HTH,
