Common Honda Key And Lock Problems We Solve
Honda vehicles use modern immobiliser systems and transponder chips, so issues can appear suddenly and be stressful. We help with:

- Locked keys in the car or boot, including Civic, CR‑V, Jazz and HR‑V
- Honda key snapped or worn, including key blade replacement and broken key extraction
- Key fob not responding, intermittent locking, or “Key not detected” message
- Central locking problems and remote not working after battery change
- Ignition issues: key won’t turn, stuck key in ignition, steering lock problems
- Smart/proximity key trouble for push-to-start models (e.g., Civic, CR‑V)
- Water-damaged or crushed fobs after accidental washing or impact
If you’re unsure what’s wrong, our technician will diagnose the fault at your location and explain your options in plain English.

We bring dealer-level diagnostics to your doorstep anywhere in West London. Our process is straightforward and transparent:
- Assessment and ID check
- We confirm ownership and inspect your Honda’s locks, ignition, and immobiliser system.
- We identify the key type: standard transponder, remote flip key, or smart/proximity key.

- Using OBD2 diagnostics, we perform Honda car key programming to synchronise the transponder chip with your ECU and immobiliser.

FAQs
Can you make a Honda key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new Honda key from your vehicle using lock decoding, key codes, or ECU/immobiliser data. In all-keys-lost cases, we typically use OBD2 programming or EEPROM methods depending on the model and year.
Will you damage my Honda when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If there’s a rare situation where minor intervention is unavoidable, we’ll explain the risks and get your approval before starting.
How long does Honda key programming take?
Many Honda keys can be cut and programmed within a single mobile visit. Timing depends on the model, key type (transponder vs. smart/proximity), and whether all keys are lost. We’ll give you a realistic timescale when you call.
Can you program a used Honda key fob?
Sometimes. A used fob may be locked to another vehicle. We’ll assess your Honda model and the donor fob; if reuse isn’t viable, we’ll supply a compatible new fob and program it to your immobiliser.
My Honda says “Key not detected.” What should I do?
First, check or replace the fob battery. If the message persists, the transponder or receiver may be at fault, or the fob needs reprogramming. We can diagnose and resolve this on site with Honda-compatible diagnostics.
Do you cover my part of West London?
Yes. We serve all W postcodes including Acton, Ealing, Chiswick, Hammersmith, Shepherd’s Bush, Kensington, Notting Hill, Bayswater, Paddington, Marylebone and nearby areas. See the full list of areas we cover across W postcodes.
