Honda Civic Job History: A Record of Success
2000 Honda Civic: All Keys Lost
In one of our earlier Honda Civic jobs, locksmith Lee handled an all-keys-lost situation for a 2000 model. Using an aftermarket non-remote key and the Autel tool, Lee was able to retrieve the key code by removing the boot lock. This job required a T5 chip, as other super chips didn’t work for this specific vehicle. The process involved using Easy Eeprom, which allows for quick programming without requiring the vehicle’s original key.
Later that year, Lee worked on another 2000 Honda Civic with a similar issue. Again, using an aftermarket non-remote key and the Autel tool, Lee efficiently solved the problem, ensuring the customer had a functioning set of keys.
2006-2008 Honda Civic: Key Code Retrieval and Programming
Locksmith Kent tackled a 2006 Honda Civic that required a remote key shell replacement. Using a 3-button remote key shell, Kent completed the job with precision, ensuring the customer had a fully functioning key.
In another case involving a 2007 Honda Civic, locksmith Mat faced an all-keys-lost situation. After programming the new key using the Autel and VVDI Key Tool Max, he encountered an issue with the alarm system. By locking and unlocking the doors multiple times, Mat successfully disengaged the alarm, allowing him to complete the key programming process.
For a 2008 Honda Civic, locksmith Mitch retrieved the key code from the boot lock and programmed the key using an ID46 chip. This job highlights the importance of being able to remove locks to retrieve codes, especially in older vehicles where key code stickers may be missing.
2009 Honda Civic: All Keys Lost and Spare Key Programming
Seb faced a challenging all-keys-lost situation for a 2009 Honda Civic. Using the Autel tool, Seb had to remove the ignition system to access the key code. After retrieving the code, he successfully programmed the new key with an ID46 chip, ensuring the vehicle was back in working order.
At our Southport workshop, we also programmed a spare key for a 2009 Honda Civic using the XTool. This job demonstrates our ability to provide efficient spare key solutions, ensuring customers always have a backup.
2013 and 2020 Honda Civic: Proximity Key Programming
Proximity keys add a layer of complexity to locksmith jobs, as they often require dealer-specific equipment. For a 2013 Honda Civic, locksmith Seb programmed a genuine proximity key using the Autel tool, ensuring the key functioned flawlessly. This job involved working with a genuine 3-button proximity key, which required special programming.
In 2020, locksmith Henry handled a proximity key job for a Honda Civic using an aftermarket key. The key was successfully programmed using the Autel tool, but it was crucial to test the key before going into an all-keys-lost procedure. This ensured the system reset properly, allowing the customer to have a fully functional proximity key without any issues.
Common Honda Civic Locksmith Issues Globally
Around the world, Honda Civic owners often face similar issues when it comes to ignition systems, keys, and door locks. One common problem is the wearing out of ignition cylinders, especially in older models. This can lead to difficulty in turning the key or starting the vehicle, often requiring ignition repairs or replacements.
In all-keys-lost situations, many Honda Civic models require key code retrieval from locks or contacting the dealer for codes. Without these codes, the process of creating new keys becomes significantly more complicated and time-consuming. Additionally, the increasing prevalence of proximity keys adds another layer of complexity to key programming, as these systems are more advanced and may require dealer-specific tools.
