I do not have a Key Number Plate. Dealer did not give me one along with the keys. But the service manual says it is included.
Is it included? Did you guys get a key number plate?.
I didn't get one either. I got a plastic tag with some bar code on it while I was expecting to get a metal tag with numbers on it, similar to the one I got for my Accord. I asked my dealer and here is what he said: "Well, about the key tag. It is a key code for your key but consider useless for your type of key, Honda can not made a new key just with the key tag like old days. They have to had one of your actual key in order to made one..."
True. The only thing that a key tag can do is allow a dealer/locksmith to make a key that will open the doors but not start the engine. A dealer can run the VIN and get the same codes however.
The reason I'm asking is because I've seen Lease Co. keeping a set of the keys or the number plate in case they need to repo the car. Depends on the bank.
