Question: Does this key have a blank immobilizer chip that would have to be programmed by the dealer?  My 2003 needs this.
Document: Fits my 2003 Accord. I only needed to get the dealer to trace my old key and then I moved the door lock controls and the immobilizer chip myself. The immobilizer chip is held in by some glue and required some destruction of the old key's shell but was not difficult and was done with a good screwdriver. For the 2003 Accord, don't let the dealer tell you that you need to have it recoded. You don't. The immobilizer chip is separate from the metal key piece in this model.
My old key started to break, it was wobbling in the ignition. I followed the instructions online for moving the old innards (including the chip!) and had the dealer cut the blank, and the key worked perfectly, saving me quite a bit of money in comparison to getting a new key from the dealer.
It cost somewhere around $45-$50 to have it cut. Not bad considering the dealership wanted around $200 to replace the key! The dealership insisted that I would need the new key reprogrammed no matter what, not so if you keep the &#34;chip&#34; from your old key. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a replacement key IF the insides from their old key are still usable.
I bought this key case to put my internals of my old key in because my old case was cracked. After weeks I finally received it and you can't put your old key internals in this case the  metal key is not removable so you have to get it cut at dealer and my chip with battery would not fit inside even though I compared info online. So this was a waste of money. I ended up giving it to my children for a play key. So cheap not worth paying the return shipping fees.
I had hoped that my old key would fit, but the metal key blank was not removable. I had to get it cut at a locksmith for $35. I had to do minor surgery with a knife blade to allow the old electronics module to fit. It is now solid and much better than the old taped- together key.
I purchased the shell to replace the broken key for 2003 Honda Accord V6. The replacement shell is much better make than the original key. I checked with several locksmiths to cut the new key and their cost ranged between $55 and $140. I took it to the Honda dealer and they did it for $10.00.
This is almost an identical copy of the OEM key from my 2003 Honda Accord. The plastic housing has a slot for the RFID chip and the keyless entry button/battery pack from the original key fits well. Forget about moving the metal key from the original key to this new housing. The metal key itself is molded into the plastic. So don't you will need Honda to cut the new metal key.
I have a 2003 Honda Accord. This is the second time an original key broke. I replaced it with this one an it was a perfect match. You have to remove the chip from the old key and pt in the new key, then I went to a local hardware store to have the key cut. Total cost for the key cas an key cutting was about $22.00, much better than the Honda dealership.
so I was glad I came across this item. I took the blank to Honda and they cut it for free (they quoted me $10 over the phone, so either way, I still win). Switching the insides from the original key to the new housing was very simple. The only challenge was removing the chip as it was glued in like Fort Knox.
Build quality is a 5 out of 5. Just make sure you know what you are getting into. I wanted to replace a key that the plastic had been broken. Unfortunately, Honda has installed a device into the plastic shell that needs to be extracted from the broken key or you need to purchase it directly from Honda. Also, the key can only be cut at a few select establishments. I live next to 3 large cities and there is only 1 place that would cut it, a locksmith.
Answer: No it doesn't.
