Cutting NOT Required - 2 Key Fob Keyless Entry Remote Shell Case & Pad fits Honda 2003-2012 Accord / 2006-2013 Civic EX / 2009-2015 Pilot /2005-2006 CR-V

Got this for a 2005 Accord key where the plastic around the metal blade had started to crack badly. I expected this to be a very quick install, but it ended up being a lot more involved than I expected. Not surprisingly, the instructions are very limited - here are some things I found that I hope you may find useful.1) Your old metal blade may be very hard to remove from the old key housing. In my case, since it was already cracking around it, I was able to snap it out, but if the housing wasn't damaged around the blade you may need to use side cutters to cut the plastic off around it. Trying to lever the key out of the housing may result in bending it if the plastic isn't already cracked - so be careful.2a) If you have a transponder (I did! See the first and second photos) you may be in for a wild ride figuring out how to deal with it. To start, it was incredibly difficult to remove, in addition to being press fit into the top plastic shell with a little cap over it, one end had a small blob of glue holding it in place. I ended up needing to cut out the plastic around it with an x-acto knife to free it.2b) Once the chip is out, there's no way to mount it like in the OEM key, just a space where it can go. It will definitely rattle around, and if the key ever cracks open for any reason it will almost certainly be lost - meaning you won't be able to start the car. I ended up using two little blobs of hot glue, one in the bottom of the spot where the chip sits, and then one along the top edge of the remote unit. If you choose to use glue, make sure you use a glue that can be removed! I almost used epoxy but then realized I would never be able to get the remote out to change the battery! Hot glue will keep it from rattling around inside, but then can be peeled off later when it's time to change the battery.3) The plastic frame that slides over the blade fits VERY snugly. If you have any crud on the blade, especially around the bottom, it will have a hard time going down. Clean the blade with an alcohol wipe or similar to get around this. Once it's clean, note the orientation of the frame to the blade, there's a taper at the bottom that should be clear, then pull the frame down with even pressure one each side. The hole in the blade may not perfectly align with the holes in the frame. Mine still ended up going together just fine despite this, but be aware of it.4) The blade/frame piece does not float between the two halves of the housing, it mounts into the back half. There are grooves it will slide into, then click into place. Again, if you look closely, it will be intuitive.5) The halves hinge together from the back of the housing, at the key ring slot.6) Do not over-tighten the screw - if it's not going in smoothly, take it out and make sure it's aligned well. Once it's all the way in, don't "torque" it down - you'll either snap it in half or strip the threading in the housing.This is a good product at a great price and I expect it will hold up well, but take care when assembling it or you'll end up buying another one.

I was frustrated at the beginning before realizing how easy it was to install. It is important to realize how it is made. Did not find or read instructions. But here is how you should approach it.1. Inset the metal part into the small plastic piece. Note that it could only fit into it on one way. Unidirectional.2. Insert them both through the opening of the back cover of the key fob. You need to slide that black piece through the matching opening of the back cover. Don’t try to put and press it in. It won’t seat properly in the designed location. Also, remember that it is unidirectional.3. Once you are able to slide and put that part in place you can then finish the process by dropping the programmable part of the key in the back cover housing.4. The final and easiest part, fit the holes front cover and press it in before tightening it with the screw provided.So, just know that it is unidirectional and that black piece with the metal part inserted needs to slide into the back cover.

My key to my vehicle was taped up when I first got it. They told me at the dealership that I need a whole new key. I held on to my broken key just in case I need to use the fob. Then I looked online and see that I would b able to have a second key for only $10. So I now have to working keys. It was easy to put together and the cost was low. It fits perfectly and works perfectly.

Bought this for the wife's car. Usually wind up buying one every year or so. The fob arrived promptly and in good condition. Once the key was in place, the two halves didn't seem to fit perfectly, but good enough. Seems sturdy. Hopefully it'll be the last purchase.

First off the Key Cases I received were not exactly what was pictured here on Amazon, But it was no Big Problem because I made them work using some Double Stick Tape and one of my Wifes Emery Boards (Nail File), first off in the seller's picture shows a small slot where the small Micro Chip goes, but when I receive the Honda key cases and opened them there was No Slot, but all's you need to do is remove the old Chip out of the slot in your broken Key Case and using a SMALL piece of 3M or similar Double stick tape you can secure the chip to the side of the new case.Now for the other problem I and others have run in to with this replacement case, depending on your Honda's model year, this case is basically Universal, meaning it can be used for different Model Years, the other problem I ran into was the small Plastic Collar that slides onto the Key, I found that it was just a HAIR to big (Wide) to fit into the Slot at the Top of the Case, So using one of my Wifes Emory Boards I filed a tiny amount of Plastic off of both sides of the Small Collar until it fit nicely into the area of the case, you may need to do this (File) a couple times to remove enough plastic until it fits Snuggly into the area it needs to go, but just take your time and it will work, another SMALL problem is the area on the case where the Small supplied screw thread into, you will save yourself a lot of trouble if you place the screw in the hole on the Bottom half of the case before you snap it shut, and screw it in a couple turns to Pre Tap (Thread It).One last thing, make sure you order New Batteries when you order these cases, because you may as well replace them since you have them open, most Honda keys use a #1616 Button Battery, but double check your to make sure.

This 2-pack key fob shell set is a total win — no cutting or reprogramming required! I simply transferred the internal chip and battery from my old key fob into the new shell, and it clicked into place like a glove. The build feels solid, and the buttons respond just like the original. Saved me time and money compared to getting a dealership replacement. If your key fob is worn or cracked, this is an easy, affordable fix that works just like new.
