How to Fix A Broken Honda Key Fob for $10!

[@emesky81]

I can't believe that people are trying to charge $150 to $250 for this! I understand you have to make money, but from what you just showed us, that is a bit extreme! Thanks so much!!!

[@jeffb.1362]

I purchased this Stauber brand key shell 9 months ago. Replacement was easy, 5 minutes plus time to clean accumulated dirt off the parts that were not replaced. Is very solid when assembled. Two differences I noticed. One is the replacement is slightly longer than the original, Stauber is 2 1/4” while original is 2”, at their maximums. Is slightly noticeable when in my pocket. Also, the red panic button is very slightly not as flush with the shell as the original. I carry more in my pocket than most people and occasionally I have set off the alarm when I assumed a position that compresses my pocket. This will not apply to the vast majority of users. The original shell/fob can be bought for a similar small price if you search. Stauber is very good, might be sturdier than original , 2 thumbs up or 5 stars, depending on your age.

This solution worked for a 2010 Honda Accord EX-L sedan. No Shims needed. It fit perfectly. The screws were off a little bit, but with some effort it was able to screw in. Thanks for the cheap solution, and saving me from having to go to the dealer or locksmith and spending a lot of money.

I followed your vid and it worked for my 2013 honda civic lx, the metal piece was hard to get out of the original shell but I carefully pried off the Remaining plastic with a small plier. The parts all fit snug without modifications. The little angled plastic part has a slant, I marked the slant on the metal piece of the key with a marker to show where the slant goes.

How come nobody has mentioned the fact that there is a transponder chip permanently mounted in the original key housing that has to be transferred to the replacement housing which is a royal pain in the butt?

[@BIsForBudget]

Honda appears to have changed their design over the years. In my case, all I had was the one main module which must have included the immobilizer/transponder chip.

[@12982evets]

Does this particular shell have a place for a transponder? I've looked on Amazon and it seems like a crap shoot or nothing at all when it comes to the new shell having a transponder holder built in and no way of knowing if there's enough room to rig/make something to hold the old transponder in the new shell. Very frustrating...thanks for any info/advice

Hi Steven. Sorry, the fob in the video did not have a compartment for a separate transponder unit.

[@12982evets]

@@BIsForBudget Appreciate you responding...If you end up doing a follow up maybe you can find one. For the time being I just drilled out the tiny screw hole then shoved a tiny piece of wire through it and firmly applied JB Weld all around the base where the key mates together with the plastic fob. Did this once before minus the piece of wire and it lasted about a year so I'm hoping with the addition of wire it will last longer. Thanks for the response. Take care

Hi, great video! I have the same problem, but mi 2008 Honda Fit has the key with just 3 buttons (the guts is just the same form and size, though). My question is since I noticed the blade is held by just the two bottom screws that do not come through the blade itself, is the plastic sturdy enough to last without breaking? Thanks!

[@BIsForBudget]

Hi Tomas. I have no issues with the screws not going through the actual metal key blade. Once I shimmed up the blade and snugged up the 2 screws on that side, it feels very secure.

Hi Conan, I can't speak for the 2013, but my 2012 didn't have a separate chip. I just moved the single module into the new shell and everything worked as expected. I would take you're existing fob apart (one screw) and see if it just one enclosed unit. Thanks!

[@BIsForBudget]

Hi Tawana, The package came with several CLEAR plastic shims that are the shape of the "T" portion of the blade. I added a couple of those shims, and that prevented the blade from wiggling inside the new shell. I then just installed the 4 screws.

Hi Raoul Jain, quite frankly you just have to twist/tear it out of the original shell. The metal key is completely secured to the shell from the factory. Just manhandle it out, the original shell is unusable anyway.

[@raouljain1433]

@@BIsForBudget the problem also is that the front part of the shell which contains the key has entirely cracked off. So you know how yours is still connected? Mine is not. Do you think the key strong enough to be torn out like that?

[@BIsForBudget]

Do you mind uploading a video of the current state of your key? That said, the metal key needs to be removed from the original shell. there is no way you can salvage the old shell. Mine went straight into the trash bin. For my 2012 Pilot, the key blade was much stronger than the plastic shell. The plastic gave way without much effort, and there was no damage to the metal key.

The original screw was removed using a small Phillips head screw driver. This is shown at 2:20. If the head is stripped, I would just use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove the screw. If necessary, removed the metal key from the plastic housing, then remove the screw with the pliers. This will give you more of the screw to work with.

I wonder if you realize that the part you originally needed is $10 from a Honda dealer. When the part you broke deliberately goes, then it's time for the aftermarket option you show in the video.

Also, related video: I needed this type of trick the other night. My car wouldn't start until I put the guts back in the key fob and held it closed while I started. I was getting worried. Was stuck in the parking lot for 25 min with kids, thinking I needed a tow truck. Then I figured it out, and found this video after-the-fact: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3WXiZ5sg9-BZq8. Question: your video looks super good on the up-close shots like that. Sometimes I make soldering videos and things and my videos kind of stink. Can you take a video or photos of your camera set up itself that you use to film close-ups like this and post that too? ie: I want to know how to make videos like this.

Hi eRCaGuy! Glad you liked the video. Regarding my "setup"... true to my Channels name, it's very modest and uses a lot of items I already had. The video is shot with my iPhone 7.

Historically, I've used screw extractors for stripped screw heads. However, I'm not sure if they make ones this small. You can try sandwiching a rubber band, tape or some steel wool between the screwdriver and the stripped head. This may give you enough bite to remove the damaged screw.
