Honda Key Replacement In Dartford
Misplaced your only key or need a spare? Our mobile units cut and program Honda keys roadside or at your home/work, saving you the time and cost of a main dealer visit.
- Spare keys: Convenient and cost-effective; we cut and code a duplicate to your Honda’s immobiliser.
- All keys lost: We can create new keys from scratch, identify key data, and securely pair replacements to your vehicle.
- Smart and proximity keys: Replacement and pairing for keyless entry/push-to-start models.

We use high-precision cutting for laser-cut and high-security Honda keys and code transponders using dealer-level equipment.
Honda Key Programming And Immobiliser Solutions
A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your Honda’s immobiliser. If it’s not recognised, the car won’t start. We diagnose and programme keys using:
- OBD2 key programming for most Honda platforms
- EEPROM key programming for models requiring direct module access
- ECU and immobiliser programming and resync after battery issues or module swaps
- Remote and smart key programming for keyless entry/push-button start systems
If your dashboard shows a key symbol, “key not detected”, or the red immobiliser light flashes, our Car Key Programming service restores communication between your key and vehicle.

Honda Auto Locksmith FAQs
Can you make a Honda key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new Honda key from scratch using your vehicle’s VIN/lock data and immobiliser information. Depending on model and year, we’ll programme via OBD2 or, if required, use EEPROM methods to pair the key securely.
My Honda says “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?
First, try a fresh battery in the fob and hold the fob close to the start button. If that fails, the transponder or antenna ring may be at fault, or the key may need reprogramming. Our Car Key Programming service can diagnose and fix this on site.
How long does Honda key replacement take?
A spare key can often be cut and programmed in one visit, typically under an hour once on site. All-keys-lost situations can take longer due to security and coding steps, but we still complete most jobs the same day.
Will you damage my Honda when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, protecting your locks and seals. In rare cases where a destructive method is the only safe solution for a particular fault, we’ll explain options and obtain your approval before proceeding.
Is a locksmith cheaper than a Honda dealer?
In many cases, yes—especially for mobile services like roadside key programming, urgent entry, or same-day key replacement. You also avoid towing and long dealer lead times. For personalised advice, see our guide to auto locksmith prices in Dartford.
Do you cover Honda hybrid and electric models?
Yes. We work on Honda e, e:HEV hybrids, and late-model smart key systems, with dealer-level diagnostics to programme keys and resync immobilisers.
