    My 2002 accord had an immobilizer chip that I also had to transfer to the new case. Took a little adjusting, but it works like the original.

    I've got the chip in mine. I ended up using drimmel and cutting out my chip from old key fob and fitting into amazon shell. Not perfect but new screw and shell keeps everything in place. It works good enough.

      @edtheoldtechguy  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @kelleyregan8921 if the fob part with the 3 buttons is glued you should be able to pry off of the clam shell. It may only have a drop of glue. Sounds like someone replaced a battery and broke it and then glued it, as it should fall right out after opening the clam shell

      It's my understanding as long as you are using same key and battery case (the part he covered up ) then it shouldn't effect the immobilizer transponder because that's where it's located 🤷‍♂️

    I notice you didn't have the immobilizers is that normal ? I have a 2011 honda accord , my key fob broke off and i opened it but i dont think i had one when i opened it i fear i dropped it but i dont think so .

    • @edtheoldtechguy
      @edtheoldtechguy  6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I am pretty sure that on the 2011 honda Accord, the key is similar to the one I showed.
      The chip is on the circuit board, inside the little case, and is not a separate little chip like older honda keys. Put it together and test it, if it starts you are golden.

    I don’t see the link to the kit, but I’ll look. My problem is that I can’t get the screw loose. Feels like it was super glued in place. The key broke out of the fob, but I can’t do much with that dang screw stuck in place. At least I have a plan if I can free it. Thanks.

    Others have mentioned an immobilizer chip. I don't know what year vehicle the key in the video is, but it is different inside the clamshell than the keys for my '05 CR-V and my '06 Accord. The keys for those two cars have another small part that must be transferred to the new clamshell to be able to start the vehicle. If you open up the key you have you'll be able to see whether or not yours looks like the one in the video, or if it has the other little part that is about twice as big a a grain of rice. If your key has that immobilizer chip, just be sure to order a replacement clamshell that has the space for it and transfer it to the new clamshell along with the key blade and the electronics module with the buttons plus the battery inside. The procedure is otherwise the same.

      @tylertrovato5688 This video includes the security feature. It is integrated in the small box where the battery is housed. Different years or models have a small peice or magnet that must be moved as well, but these keys for this model does not have that and is the reason I did not show it.

    How come the screw on the car key cannot unscrew from it.

    • @edtheoldtechguy
      @edtheoldtechguy  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It may be stripped, you will need to add some force against the screw as you inscrew it. You can do this with a flat head driver against the screw or by prying the housing on the key as you unscrew. It may also be the screw is frozen in there so a little heat or some pb blaster to loosen it up may work

It is a small black chip near where the metal key is in the plastic casing. They sell a different plastic clam shell for that. Did you get the right one and did you move the small chip over?

      @sethdawg This year make and model do not have a separate immobilizer chip. it's built into the push button unit. The older car keys have a separate chip that must be removed and placed in the clam shell.
      I didn't think I needed to mention it, but you are not the first to mention it. So I will be making an updated video to try some custom clam shells, and I will make sure to mention the difference in keys and immobilizer chip integrations. Thank you for the view and the comment.
