Awl--
It is a fairly gigantic and expensive pita to get duplicate keys for a Honda Fit--and proly for most new cars. You gotta bring in ALL the keys, otherwise when they complete the process not all will work!!! Plus, they charge so much the salesguy wouldn't give me an exact figure! He left it at "a lot". goodgawd....
He also said this: You can hide a key by the ignition, and let THAT chip be the activating chip for all traditionally-duped keys. Or just cut off the chip part and tape it, so a full key is not available.
Any thoughts on this? Will a locksmith still be able to dupe the mechanical part of the key, or is that even out of the question?
Can this chip thingy be otherwise disabled?
Man, am I feeling like a fish in a barrel, where the fisherman have shotguns.....
