A Look at the Honda CR-V Job History

Let’s delve into some of the job history of our work on various Honda CR-V models. Each case shows the expertise of our locksmiths and the tools we use to ensure quality service.

1. Job 85297 (2002 Honda CR-V – All Keys Lost)
   Locksmith Lee tackled this job, providing an aftermarket TLS Turn Key Remote for a 2002 Honda CR-V. Using a Smart Pro tool, he programmed a VW 3 Button Flip Key, which offered a cost-effective solution for the customer. It’s a testament to our ability to supply aftermarket keys that work seamlessly with older models like the 2002 CR-V.

2. Job 111480 (2001 Honda CR-V – All Keys Lost)
   Locksmith Seb handled this case, using a TLS Turn Key Non-Remote and Smart Pro for programming. The challenge here was the need for a 3-pin DLC adapter to program the keys successfully. Despite the older model, our team managed to solve the problem efficiently.

3. Job 86491 (2005 Honda CR-V – Chip Replacement)
   This job required the use of a genuine immobilizer chip. Locksmith Henry worked on this, employing the Smart Pro to code a Megamos ID13 chip. This was essential because super chips often fail on older Honda models, showing our deep understanding of the specific requirements for each vehicle.

4. Job 77444 & Job 87294 (2007 Honda CR-V – Spare and All Keys Lost)
   Both of these jobs involved locksmith Seb working on different key programming needs for a 2007 CR-V. In one case, Seb used an aftermarket flip key and KD Remote Programmer to add a spare key, while the other involved a customer-supplied key, showing our flexibility in working with both aftermarket and genuine key solutions.

5. Job 73982 (2016 Honda CR-V – Spare Proximity Key)
   Locksmith Mat took care of this 2016 CR-V, where the customer required a spare proximity key. He used an aftermarket proximity key with tools such as Autel and VVDI Key Tool Max, successfully programming a BMW-style 3 Button Prox Key. These advanced proximity systems require the right tools and expertise, both of which Terry’s Locksmiths have in abundance.

6. Job 113985 (2015 Honda CR-V – All Keys Lost)
   Locksmith Duane tackled a complex “All Keys Lost” scenario for a 2015 CR-V, using X Tool and VVDI Key Tool Max to program a universal 2 Button Flip Key. Honda’s newer models, such as the 2015 CR-V, often come with advanced security features, but Terry’s Locksmiths are equipped to handle these challenges.

7. Job 76159 (2019 Honda CR-V – Spare Key)
   In this more recent job, locksmith Lee faced difficulties coding an aftermarket proximity key for a 2019 Honda CR-V. Despite trying multiple keyless go options, the vehicle’s system did not pick up the key. This example shows how even with the best tools and expertise, some models require dealer-specific programming—though we’re always up for the challenge.

8. Job 63658 (2021 Honda CR-V – All Keys Lost)
   The 2021 Honda CR-V represents the cutting edge in automotive technology, and locksmith Seb used an Autel tool to program a genuine Honda 2 Button Prox Key. The job required precise programming, but with our advanced equipment, we ensured the vehicle was back in working order promptly.

Common Honda CR-V Issues Around the World

Honda CR-V owners globally report similar ignition, key, and door lock issues. Among the most common problems are:

• Ignition Failures: Particularly in older models, worn-out ignition switches can cause starting problems. We have seen this often in CR-Vs from the early 2000s, like the 2002 and 2005 models in our job history.

• Lost or Malfunctioning Keys: Whether it’s a standard key, a flip key, or a proximity fob, lost keys are a frequent issue. As seen in our work with the 2015, 2016, and 2021 CR-Vs, programming proximity keys requires specialized tools like Autel and VVDI Key Tool Max, which Terry’s Locksmiths are well-equipped with.

• Faulty Door Locks: Particularly in models with advanced keyless entry systems, issues with door locks can arise due to wear and tear or system malfunctions. For instance, the 2015 CR-V required careful programming of a remote key to ensure the door lock worked smoothly.
