Thank you for the obvious answer.

My nearest Honda dealership is about 150 miles away, round trip. I was
hoping for something a little more "local", like the Internet,

.

You said you didn't like the price on the Internet (that's how I read what
you typed). Going to the dealership here was considerably less than the
price you mentioned, that's why I suggested a dealership. I wasn't trying
to
come off as being sarcastic.

I know that. I apologize. It would be amazing if we could read each
other's minds and know that right off. This thread actually morphed off
into a discussion about "special" digital keys or whatever. The $80.00
price I posted was not for these types of keys. It was for this particular
outfit making an original of a key, one that I already have. In fact, I
have two. I don't even NEED another key for this rig. I WANT one. One
with the hard plastic at the top of it.

I didn't really say anything about a digital key; yet the thread morphed
into this.

Ah, well.

Where can I obtain a key blank (with the black rubber handle -- don't
know
the technical name) for my 1995 Honda Passport. Some site online wants
like
$80.00 to do an original key. Yeah, right!!!

At a Honda Dealership.

Cost is about $10.00 US for an OEM-replica key blank. Take it to a good
(i.e., bonded and certified) locksmith to get the key cut. That will
cost about another $4.00 for each key. Don't take the blank to a UPS
store or the corner hardware store. Those guys probably don't have
the skills to cut keys correctly. Incorrect cutting could destroy
your locks/ignition switch.

Andy

Which is why I wanted a blank. I have access to a key cutter; but I don't
have the blank I want to cut in it.

Threads tend to take course changes all the time.

I take the blame for that. I saw the thing about the plastic head and jumped

to the conclusion it was a transponder head instead of a comfort grip. D'oh!

I believe you can also get a new programmed key with the VIN from
Honda.

I've not heard that. I doubt it; for example, they can't give you the
radio security code with just the VIN. That requires the radio serial
number.

I do believe that there may be some sort of serial number on the
computer module that may be of use in getting another key blank. I do
know that you can also replace the computer module, at great expense,
and that will start you fresh with new keys and code. If you've had
your keys stolen along with some sort of identifying papers, such that
the thief could get to your van, people have replaced the computer
module so that the stolen keys don't work.

The VIN is the serial number for the car, which should give them the correct
information. I replaced a key for my Cherokee at the Chrysler dealer in
this way. They have the transponder codes on file and can be programmed at
the dealer without another key based on the VIN.
I would have to think that if Chrysler can do it, Honda should also have
similar capabilities.

"Ask your dealer for assistance" simply means he can pull the radio, get
the radio's serial number, and get the radio security code from that.

Ouch. That'd be pricey.

Yep. A hundred bucks to find your radio serial number. This has been
discussed here and other places quite a bit over the years, as someone
who buys a used Honda and replaces the battery suddenly finds himself
facing a radio that says CODE.

When i as in the UK, i had a small car electronics place just down the
road. i went there for my radio code (was a philips radio, Volvo
marked, that came with my 340 (my UK car) the guy came out, removed
the radio, took it inside, came back about 10 mins later, with the
code on a piece of paper, fitted the radio back in, and entered the
code for me - cost 5 UK pounds

shop around, a lot of small automotive places can do the decoding,
especially if they do a lot of car electrics (this place was called
alternators unlimited for instance)

acl around 'do you do radio decodings? how much, thank you"

all you need
