Quick answerWe read Honda’s immobilizer module via Autel IM508 to extract the pin code, cut a new mechanical blade from your VIN, then program the new key. 60-90 minutes on-site. $349-429.

The 5-step Honda AKL process

  1. Verify ownership — registration + photo ID
  2. Read the immobilizer module — connect Autel IM508 to OBD port, retrieve pin code from Honda IMOES system
  3. Cut the new mechanical blade — code derived from VIN, cut on our HPC Blue Punch or Triton
  4. Program the new transponder/smart key — write the new key to Honda’s immobilizer module
  5. Test all functions — lock, unlock, panic, push-start; hand over with warranty card

Honda models we handle for AKL

  • Civic 2006-2025 (all gens)
  • Accord 2008-2025
  • CR-V 2007-2025
  • Pilot, Odyssey, Passport, HR-V — all years
  • Ridgeline, Insight — all years

What we need

  • Vehicle on-site (no tow needed)
  • Battery with charge (12V minimum) — we can boost if needed
  • VIN access (usually visible on dashboard)
  • 1-2 hours uninterrupted
