Hello Everyone, not very good with cars, I have a question about my 2007 Honda Pilot keys let me tell you the story first:
So when we got it from the dealer they gave us the key #1 with remote, key # 2 with remote and key # 3 (gray one with no buttons).
Years ago I took it a mechanic with key #3 (gray one) and while working on the car, the guy lost key # 3 (gray one) so he got a new key ( key #4 with remote) and he asked me for the other keys to have them programmed as well. I only had key #1 available, key #2 was with my wife 30 miles away, so the mechanic took new key #4 and Key #1 and went somewhere to have both keys programmed to truck.
When I took key # 2 to him, he said it was too late because the dealer will charge him again, and he refused.
I still have Key # 2, it unlocks the car door manually, I do not know if the remote control works or not because the battery is depleted.
I have seen many videos in how to program the remote, but the key would not start the car, (it just cranks but does not start).
My question is:
is there any way I can program key #2 again without having to go to a shop or dealer so I can have 3 keys again? is there any difference between programming the remote and making the actual physical key work in the ignition?
if there is no way around it I would have to take it to the dealer but I just want to make sure it's not something that can be achieved but turning the key a few times and pushing some buttons in the remote, it would really suck to have to pay like 80 dollars just for pushing buttons
any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated
