Dude, got to give you credit for putting together one of those RARE no-bullshit (no obnoxious unnecessary music, no time wasted on explaining their tools or shop or other irrelevant crap, etc.), cleanly produced, clear, concise instructional video (camera work decent). Pretty well well done. Wish others could accomplish instructional videos similar to yours and a smattering of others. Thanks.
Dude, I was about to type the same thing. I can't remember the last video that didn't waste my time to celebrate the poster's ego. Apparently real men with shit to do(other than myself) still exist. Well done!
Right???!!!! This guy is a God! If you've ever tried what he is doing, you know what I mean when I say, not only is it extremely difficult, but he does it and films it and explains it AND keeps his cool AND in like 3 minutes. AutoRex you gotta run for president dog.
I changed it myself ALL thanks to your super easy step by step video! I borrowed a key programmer from a friend and I was set! Done in less than an hour, not bad for a complete novice! Got anymore Pilot videos? I feel so empowered!!
I gotta give you some real credit bro. I am blown away by how laid back and chill you easily do this. I've been screaming and whining and throwing my tools for three days now trying to get the damaged ignition assembly off and your a boss homie. I'm gonna try and use your link to get the new one. Hopefully it'll get here quickly bc I'm def in a pinch
thank you. very good video.I have a 2004 odyssey and it is a little different than the pilot, but close enough!! I had a complete used switch with keys for $25 and thought I could interchange some of the parts between the two, but " NOT."not without reprogramming, so I called my locksmith, took the original one to him and within 2 hours he rebuilt the old cylinder for $50 and I returned the used one .It works great and he recommended oiling it once a year with tri-tlow oil because those honda cylinders are so delicate, thanks again and hope this helps someone!!
Dude don't be misled here. While I can't deny that dealers are often sc artists and very often liars and thieves at best, what this cat is doing is incredibly difficult, frustrating, and if you haven't done it over and over practicing, there's little chance you wouldn't end up breaking more stuff than you fix and ultimately going the dealer or a repair shop anyway. It has taken me two days to get my ignition assembly removed and I've definitely learned a hard lesson about trying to contort my body into impossible positions then trying to reach unreachable screws and clips that are positioned as so that no tool on Earth could dream of removing them. This guy is a real badass and how he managed to do this and film it and explain it and in like a minute AND keep his cool??? Beyond my realm of understanding man.
My 2003 odyssey just got key cannot turn and towed home last night and found this video , I need to find mobile mechanic if I want to save time or trouble doing by myself Great video
To avoid going to the dealership or buying a programmer to program the keys, this is what I did. I followed the instructions of the video and managed to remove the Key Ignition Switch. From there, I sent the assembly to a locksmith where he can unjam the unit. Paid around $150 for the locksmith. The Key ignition switch assembly new would’ve been around $200-$250 at my local Autozone. After the locksmith did his thing, I put the original unit back in while following the video and drove my car around the block as a field test. It was perfect and it drove smoothly. Highly recommend checking with a locksmith before purchasing a new piece or going to the dealership and getting ripped off.
Great, step by step video. I found a nail punch to work well on the headless bolts.I opted to change out the harness all the way to the fuse box. It wasn't too bad on my 2005 Pilot. For any curious: 1. Two push pins that hold the harness up closer to the steering column and up out of the way. 2. Remove the trim that starts at the end of the doorstep and wraps around the hood release. It is a triangle shape piece that snaps into the doorstep trim. 3. Remove the single nut holding the fuse box against the wall of the car. Note paths of harnesses before pulling fuse box away from wall. That will simplify putting back in place when done. 4. Disconnect other harnesses plugging into the front side of the fuse box. This gives the clearance for the fuse box to pull out from the wall. 5. Disconnect the harnesses from the back side. This step could be skipped. I wanted to be able to see exactly what I was doing when removing and reconnecting the ignition harness. 6. Feed the ignition harness back up toward the steering column. This easier with a second person or if you have long enough arms to pull with your other hand. I found it easy to see if lying on my back with my head near the pedals. 7. Feed the new harness back down toward the fuse box. Again, this may be easier with a second person. 8. Connect to the fuse box and reverse the previous steps. The other harnesses will only connect to their correct spots. 9. I left the push pins until after I had the new assembly installed in case I needed more flexibility. It seems like a lot of steps, but wasn't very time consuming. Worth it to me after spending so much coin on the assembly as opposed to just wasting half of it.
Thank you for the informative video. It gave me the confidence to attempt the switch over. Couple of things to add: no need to chisel both headless bolts. I broke the left bolt, removed it and then pried the collar to the point that I could remove the switch. Also, I purchased M10 bolts from a local hardware store. I wont have to chisel the bolts off if it fails again. Thanks again!
This video made me feel like I could actually fix the problem in my Odyssey, but the key reprogramming thing is confusing to me. Your video is very clear and concise. Thankful for this video.
Thank you so much for this well-done and informative video! It took us some time and elbow grease (and plenty of pounding on those blasted headless bolts) but with what we learned from this video we were able to get the ignition lock cylinder removed from a 2005 Honda Pilot we're working on. A local locksmith charged us $25 to clean and fix the tumblers in the ignition and then we had to buy two bolts for $2.50 to put that steering lock clamp back on. You saved us hundreds! Thank you!
I have a 2004 Honda Pilot, less screws required took me 45 minutes to do this using your video. Part cost me $180. Waiting for a guy to come program it for another $150. Thanks for your helpful video!
Oh it just happened to my pilot key would go in but wont turn, so I just pull the cylinder out and removed the lock pins, put cylinder back the immobilizer and voila, still uses the same key, just no lock pins in the cylinder and keep my money in my pocket. the car wont run anyways if they try to steal it because the key is original and without it wont stay on the transponder in the key is the important part if you don't get bothered by not having lock pins in the key (lock)cylinder think of it as a push start button if the ignition doesn't detect the key hob aka transponder the car wont start even if they manage to turn the car on with the screwdriver, the car will shut off in a second, also I don't wanna pay for the key to be program. Great video, I agree with everyone that says is a clean, clear and to the point video.👍👍👍👍
Great video. Swapping the ignition switch to the new assembly was a godsend. I was sitting there cussing this thing out because removing that harness from behind the fuse box didn’t look fun.
That was one of the best videos I have seen. You explained everything clearly without rambling on about stuff totally unrelated to the job. It all looks simple enough except for the damn reprogramming
Adding my experience. I was quoted $525 to replace and program the part. I watched the video and it looked doable to replace myself. I bought the part for $340, had a time getting that headless bolt off, and need to pay a locksmith $160 to come program the key. After needed to buy a screw extractor to get the bolt about, I just about broke even. Darn.
Thanks very much! Was able to remove my ignition lock and remove a few broken wafers, instead of having to buy a new ignition lock and reprogram my key. Granted, anyone can stick a key in there now, but the ignition will be immobilized anyway.
Great video..I can't even change my spark plugs, change a tire, or do an oil change and I was able to change the ignition lock cylinder on my 2006 Honda Odyssey EX-L ..it did take me 3 days but only because I had a hard time with the security bolts...
So.... you took the old ignition lock out of the vehicle and took to a locksmith for the tumblers replacement and the new key, correct??. The problem I have is that it is hard to get the keys inside the cylinder and they are not turning easily
Very well done! I was able to take ignition assembly out of my 2003 Honda pilot in the dark with just my cell phone flashlight as light because of this video! Thanks
Very helpful video thanks . Had a lot of trouble with the headless screws but I used a small grinder/multi tool and cut the head of the screw and bent the clamp back wards and walla
AS far as the headless screws maybe drilling two small holes then using a needle nose pliers to turn the screws. Hope this is helpful for others. Peace
It looks like there's enough room/clearance to get a rotary tool in there to put a notch in the top of the bolts and then remove them with a slotted screwdriver. Am I wrong?
Because I used the same immobilizer with new keys. What I did was take the transponder out of my old key and put it in the new key. It works great. I have been doing this for years and no trouble. Did not have to pay anyone for coding saved a lot of money.
Is it possible to swap an ignition solenoid off a used and out it on my current one to avoid all this? My key gets stuck in first position regularly. Thanks man
very good and informative video , step by step yeah i seen a couple videos they had half the information like that bottom screw ,,i wouldnt of known to use vise grips . thanks ,
Thanks. Did have some trouble with the bolts. Most due to inexperience. I bought a part that lets you just take the keys to the dealer. At least that what the ad said. Doing that tomorrow. Follow up: called locksmith, he programmed. Dealer said haf to tow car in. Started then wouldn't start. Just clicking. Car would start with a jump. Read some blogs that led to negative battery cable. Cable was frayed. Locksmith was expensive, but they did come out twice. About $200.00. Part was $150.00. Dealer wanted $450.00 for new lock cylinder job. I do think the cylinder was bad, and we only had 1 key. Part was off of Amazon. STANDARD Motors/SMP.
I pulled the whole key/ignition mechanism out by myself and broke that down to the ignition tumbler itself. Remember to put the key in the tumbler before removing it, due to tiny springs and wafers can fall out if you don’t. My local locksmith replaced the bad wafers, springs, in the tumbler and bing-GO I was back on the road!! Cost: was time, approx. $40 bucks. There is a video on how to pop out the tumbler or maybe I should upload the video I did on how to remove?
Great instructional video. Very detailed from taking apart to putting back together. Although I'm not mechanically inclined, the video gives me hope that with patience I might be able to pull it off. Where do you get the replacement lock cylinder and how much?
@@AutoRex101 Man I know you probably hear similar compliments often. But your a boss dude. I've been removing my ignition assembly for two days now and how you did it so fast, AND seemingly with little effort, AND filmed it, AND explained it,AND KEPT YOUR COOL???? Bro you should run for president my dog. You got my vote. Bc if you can pull off all that then there's no task you couldn't hurdle man lol
Thanks for the video. The only hard part for me is the screw with no screw holes. So I decided to just take out the key ignition, but not the assembly.
Very nicely done thank you for the video I was wondering if any kind of MacGyver trick involving a couple of wires like in the movies and not having to replace that whole part
good video..thanks AutoRex..I didn't hear you mention the details in sequence about programming the apparent new key with the Auto maxi DAS 708 Scanner/Programmer...(was it the new key or the old one..didn't hear you say.. )...approx. cost of the new assembly? approx. Dealership programming cost? I caught a locksmith (Father & Son Locksmith ) removing the damaged part..a small wafer that was bent or broken keeping the key barrel from turning..removing it freed up the barrel to turn..I am gonna try that route first..cheaper..!! My car is a 2006 Oddysey..looks close enough to yours..don't know why you would break off the two new screws so they are headless..why not use phillips head or hex head screws that don't break.. to make the same job easier if there is a next time? Hasta!
just replaced the ignition module today in 2006 odyssey got 2nd hand one with keys and swapped over immobiliser from old init and then swapped immobiliser chips over in the keys started 1st go no programming needed
@HeatherWilmot6 chip is hidden under a cover I just popped it out and put in replacement key. But I also put my orginal immobiliser unit that's on end of key barrel onto to replacement module so then didn't have pay someone to program new key to car.
Here's some advice if you're not feeling real comfortable doing the whole cylinder replacement and key reprogramming on your own - call around to local locksmiths. I found one in Des Moines, IA that'll do the whole kit and kaboodle for $200 and original keys will work ignition and all doors.
Thanks for great instruction video. I have sticking ignition key (still works after like 100 tries) on my 2003 Odyssey now. I have one question. you changed whole key cylinder, right? If I just buy key pinset and re-pin the old worn out key cylinder, then I don't need to have recoded for immobilizer, is that correct?
How much would it be to buy the equipment to reprogram the immobilizer.? Also what the hack of keeping the immobilizer and the old key together I'm assuming the immobilizer has to stay connected to the wiring somehow but kept away from the new key. Is that right?
Hi can you provide a step by step with the maxidas I have one and where would I be going under to reprogram ? If you can help I would appreciate it thank you
On an '06 Pilot u must loosen the dashboard below the steering wheel to get the lower steering wheel cover out. Also, there's no white lever to disengage the shifter!!
Just to be clear you can only use the new keys if you program them right the old immobilizer will not allow you to use new keys right or is this only if you want to use the old keys
I'm frustrated. I went through all the steps and removed the one wafer that was stuck. I actually ended up taking out all of the wafers because I want no future problems. I put it all back together and it worked! the ignition turned and I test drove the car. Well now it won't turn again. It's definitely not another wafer because they're all gone. its what's it connects to internally that won't turn and I'm totally stumped. Of course a whole new assembly will fix my problem. But I just can't believe that it worked, and then 10 minutes later a different problem occured? blows my mind
Took it apart popped out the tumbler pairs at a time two bad and it works no cash out of pocket no new keys no reprogramming . Will i get wafer timber kit for $40 at 250k mile probably not
J G I didn’t have that problem with this 2003 odyssey. Just had to move steering wheel tilt to remove bottom cover and move gear shifter out of park to remove top cover
Can I switch the transponder in my key to the new set of keys transponder area location and used my existing immobilizer that's programmed to the transponder in my keys that I'm going to switch the understand what I'm saying so that I don't have to program the system will that work? By switching the immobilizer and the transponder in the key????
Thanks for the video. I just swapped out that module in my 2003 Odyssey. I tested the ignition before putting the covers back on and it will not start! It all works in terms turning the engine over and open door beep etc. What could possibly be left undone?
You can fix it for like two dollars if you pull the key cylinder out. I just did mine. Just pull out two roll pins and then pull a bunch of the cylinder tumblers and springs out until the key starts turning. Then reinstall. You need the two dollars for the new metric bolts I replaced the break away bolts with...
@@mibz1117 yup...some of the tumblers are worn typically. Mine only has a few left in it. Basically the only protection from theft is the electronic key. But honestly what more do you need. Just pull out some of the tumblers till your key turns. Then reinstall
@@mibz1117 I would suggest leaving some of the tumblers in to hold the key in. I ended up with two at the end I think, but the more left in the better.
@@mibz1117 oh the cover is held on with roll pins you have to get something small enough and strong to punch them out. I think I used some micro screw drivers.
This is awesome. Thank you. Hey if you do go ahead and keep the new immobilizer on and hook up that harness by the fuse box, do you still need to have it coded? I'm changing mine today. I was gunna attempt to put the whole thing in in hopes i didnt have to get it coded? Thanks
Just take the lock cylinder out by pulling the roll pins take the lock cylinder out pull the Fing wafers and tiny springs out put back together. Slapper all back together and never have this problem again. The transponder in the key is the trick to getting it to start anyway so why f with the stupid never ending failing wafers and the key that is constantly wearing.And yes The stearing wheel still locks when you turn it off and pull the key.You can take your key out while its running too which is very convient at times. I put one full rap of black electric tape at the end of the cuts on the key so that the key doesnt fall out of the lock easily. Just did this today and it works like a champ. Sorry locksmith's but this nightmare is BS AND I FOUND THE CURE. Save yourself a tow and 200 bucks buying new keys blah blah
this is stupid..so lets say theives use a programmer like in this video, you just gave them one step closer to programming new key to car. At least if its locked they cant program new key
You can bring your new ignition lock cylinder to a locksmith to have them rekey the new ignition key cylinder to match your original key- this avoids needing to reprogram new keys & You can keep your old keys and use them for you car and doors still (avoid needing a separate key to open doors and start the car) At least this is what I did on my 2007 Odyssey with no problems
If you buy a used ignition switch and cylinder from a junk yard with the immobilizer attached from that vehicle (with keys) will you still need to reprogram keys or will they already be synched and work?
@Auto Rex: I watched the video several times. I see you posted the link to get whatever tool you used to program the key. I called the Honda dealer and they told me this tool is called an HDS. Is that what you used? Is there any other tool that's cheap that allows you to program the key?
Almost anyone that watched this video is going to ask this question. I'm currently trying to find a cable an PC software that will do it. There are several OBS cables and freeware software out there for other makes, but not sure about Honda's and reprogramming keys. wish this question would have been answered because its really the crux of the whole repair process.
Well since I'm a Honda guy and I work as a mechanic and do lock picking as a hobby, don't switch your key. Take the lock cylinder out of the new assembly and take the pins out. Now you can use your old key with the new cylinder.
I don’t understand why not just change the bitting ( teeth) in the ignition cylinder for the same one because they get worn and the key stops from working can’t. Can’t turn the key anymore. By replacing them will work again.
QUESTION: If I pull an ignition lock cylinder off a salvage Odyssey with the whole assembly, including the immobilizer, and the keys, will the computer on my van accept the new immobilizer with the new keys and start up?
Or before installing it. Go to a locksmith and have the new lock Rekeyed. Honda ignitions ware like this. But reality is the original ignition cylinder just needed Rekeyed. Any locksmith could’ve done this and saved you money. And you’d still have one key for your car
That's what I did. I just removed a couple of the wafers from my tumbler cylinder. I know that makes it easier for a thief to start my car, but I hardly care (my vehicle is >12 years old and has >200K miles on it...if somebody steals that thing, they are in a bad situation and they need that van more than i do).
Hi, i have a 2007 Honda Odyssey and steering wheel locked, and key will not turn. I want to try this myself. I read somewhere i have to disconnect the air bag, is this true?

Awesome Video! Thank you so much man! Grateful for this
Thank you for this video!!!!! You helped me repair mine!!!!
Thanks. Did have some trouble with the bolts. Most due to inexperience. I bought a part that lets you just take the keys to the dealer. At least that what the ad said. Doing that tomorrow.
Follow up: called locksmith, he programmed. Dealer said haf to tow car in. Started then wouldn't start. Just clicking. Car would start with a jump. Read some blogs that led to negative battery cable. Cable was frayed.
Locksmith was expensive, but they did come out twice. About $200.00. Part was $150.00. Dealer wanted $450.00 for new lock cylinder job.
I do think the cylinder was bad, and we only had 1 key.
Part was off of Amazon. STANDARD Motors/SMP.
I pulled the whole key/ignition mechanism out by myself and broke that down to the ignition tumbler itself. Remember to put the key in the tumbler before removing it, due to tiny springs and wafers can fall out if you don’t. My local locksmith replaced the bad wafers, springs, in the tumbler and bing-GO I was back on the road!!
Cost: was time, approx. $40 bucks. There is a video on how to pop out the tumbler or maybe I should upload the video I did on how to remove?
W
Please upload a video on how to remove the tumbler. Thanks.
Please provide a link to the video
Great video, Thanks, you saved me 200 bucks👍
Great instructional video. Very detailed from taking apart to putting back together. Although I'm not mechanically inclined, the video gives me hope that with patience I might be able to pull it off. Where do you get the replacement lock cylinder and how much?
Here is the part that I used: ebay.to/2kSCVOD
@@AutoRex101 Man I know you probably hear similar compliments often. But your a boss dude. I've been removing my ignition assembly for two days now and how you did it so fast, AND seemingly with little effort, AND filmed it, AND explained it,AND KEPT YOUR COOL???? Bro you should run for president my dog. You got my vote. Bc if you can pull off all that then there's no task you couldn't hurdle man lol

You made it look easy 👍🏿
Looks easy
Thanks for the video. The only hard part for me is the screw with no screw holes. So I decided to just take out the key ignition, but not the assembly.
Thanks a lot bro, you saved me a bunch of time and $$$! Great video, no B.S.
Thank you so much for this super helpful video.
Thank you so much. I'm up and running. 🚘
Very nicely done thank you for the video I was wondering if any kind of MacGyver trick involving a couple of wires like in the movies and not having to replace that whole part
Thank you so much your video was super helpful.
good video..thanks AutoRex..I didn't hear you mention the details in sequence about programming the apparent new key with the Auto maxi DAS 708 Scanner/Programmer...(was it the new key or the old one..didn't hear you say.. )...approx. cost of the new assembly? approx. Dealership programming cost? I caught a locksmith (Father & Son Locksmith ) removing the damaged part..a small wafer that was bent or broken keeping the key barrel from turning..removing it freed up the barrel to turn..I am gonna try that route first..cheaper..!! My car is a 2006 Oddysey..looks close enough to yours..don't know why you would break off the two new screws so they are headless..why not use phillips head or hex head screws that don't break.. to make the same job easier if there is a next time? Hasta!
Great job❤ can you tell me how to unlock my Sternwheel without my key in advise without taking it to the dealer myself😊
THANK YOU for this detailed, no-nonsense tutorial! Do you still have the recommended torque spec for the shear bolts on the collar?
just replaced the ignition module today in 2006 odyssey got 2nd hand one with keys and swapped over immobiliser from old init and then swapped immobiliser chips over in the keys started 1st go no programming needed
How did you switch over the chip to the new key?
@HeatherWilmot6 chip is hidden under a cover I just popped it out and put in replacement key. But I also put my orginal immobiliser unit that's on end of key barrel onto to replacement module so then didn't have pay someone to program new key to car.
Here's some advice if you're not feeling real comfortable doing the whole cylinder replacement and key reprogramming on your own - call around to local locksmiths. I found one in Des Moines, IA that'll do the whole kit and kaboodle for $200 and original keys will work ignition and all doors.
Thats what I did mobile locksmith 330 price san diego noble locksmith took 70 minutes
Awesome guidance helped alot
Thanks for great instruction video. I have sticking ignition key (still works after like 100 tries) on my 2003 Odyssey now. I have one question. you changed whole key cylinder, right? If I just buy key pinset and re-pin the old worn out key cylinder, then I don't need to have recoded for immobilizer, is that correct?
I'm trying to figure out the new wire on the new harness for the ignition switch go on when you doing the reset of a replacement
Thanks for your video. Very helpful!
How much would it be to buy the equipment to reprogram the immobilizer.? Also what the hack of keeping the immobilizer and the old key together I'm assuming the immobilizer has to stay connected to the wiring somehow but kept away from the new key. Is that right?
Hi can you provide a step by step with the maxidas I have one and where would I be going under to reprogram ? If you can help I would appreciate it thank you
That scanner is an Autel DS808. You said DS708 but it too can do the job but its discontinued for updates.
Hi there nice and clean video two things what about rest of 3 door lock and new keys can be programme before the install without towing
On an '06 Pilot u must loosen the dashboard below the steering wheel to get the lower steering wheel cover out. Also, there's no white lever to disengage the shifter!!
Just to be clear you can only use the new keys if you program them right the old immobilizer will not allow you to use new keys right or is this only if you want to use the old keys
I'm frustrated. I went through all the steps and removed the one wafer that was stuck. I actually ended up taking out all of the wafers because I want no future problems. I put it all back together and it worked! the ignition turned and I test drove the car.
Well now it won't turn again. It's definitely not another wafer because they're all gone. its what's it connects to internally that won't turn and I'm totally stumped. Of course a whole new assembly will fix my problem. But I just can't believe that it worked, and then 10 minutes later a different problem occured? blows my mind
Took it apart popped out the tumbler pairs at a time two bad and it works no cash out of pocket no new keys no reprogramming . Will i get wafer timber kit for $40 at 250k mile probably not
At 1:02 he says bottom screw is different than top 2. On my '03 they are all the same Philips screw.
Great video......dont understand why they put headless bolts on could have used security hardware if that was reason for it hmmm
Must turn steering wheel upside down on odyssey to get lower cover off and on. Took me a while to figure it out.
J G I didn’t have that problem with this 2003 odyssey. Just had to move steering wheel tilt to remove bottom cover and move gear shifter out of park to remove top cover
Can I switch the transponder in my key to the new set of keys transponder area location and used my existing immobilizer that's programmed to the transponder in my keys that I'm going to switch the understand what I'm saying so that I don't have to program the system will that work?
By switching the immobilizer and the transponder in the key????
Thanks for the video. I just swapped out that module in my 2003 Odyssey. I tested the ignition before putting the covers back on and it will not start! It all works in terms turning the engine over and open door beep etc. What could possibly be left undone?
You can fix it for like two dollars if you pull the key cylinder out. I just did mine. Just pull out two roll pins and then pull a bunch of the cylinder tumblers and springs out until the key starts turning. Then reinstall. You need the two dollars for the new metric bolts I replaced the break away bolts with...
So just remove the ignition cylinder?
@@mibz1117 yup...some of the tumblers are worn typically. Mine only has a few left in it. Basically the only protection from theft is the electronic key. But honestly what more do you need. Just pull out some of the tumblers till your key turns. Then reinstall
@@allynonderdonk7577 got ya thanks doing it today.
@@mibz1117 I would suggest leaving some of the tumblers in to hold the key in. I ended up with two at the end I think, but the more left in the better.
@@mibz1117 oh the cover is held on with roll pins you have to get something small enough and strong to punch them out. I think I used some micro screw drivers.
This is awesome. Thank you. Hey if you do go ahead and keep the new immobilizer on and hook up that harness by the fuse box, do you still need to have it coded? I'm changing mine today. I was gunna attempt to put the whole thing in in hopes i didnt have to get it coded? Thanks
Just take the lock cylinder out by pulling the roll pins take the lock cylinder out pull the Fing wafers and tiny springs out put back together. Slapper all back together and never have this problem again. The transponder in the key is the trick to getting it to start anyway so why f with the stupid never ending failing wafers and the key that is constantly wearing.And yes The stearing wheel still locks when you turn it off and pull the key.You can take your key out while its running too which is very convient at times. I put one full rap of black electric tape at the end of the cuts on the key so that the key doesnt fall out of the lock easily. Just did this today and it works like a champ. Sorry locksmith's but this nightmare is BS AND I FOUND THE CURE. Save yourself a tow and 200 bucks buying new keys blah blah
this is stupid..so lets say theives use a programmer like in this video, you just gave them one step closer to programming new key to car. At least if its locked they cant program new key
Is there any way to do it without the disabler to avoid having to get the keys programmed?
You can bring your new ignition lock cylinder to a locksmith to have them rekey the new ignition key cylinder to match your original key-
this avoids needing to reprogram new keys & You can keep your old keys and use them for you car and doors still (avoid needing a separate key to open doors and start the car)
At least this is what I did on my 2007 Odyssey with no problems
Where do you did purchase for the new key assembly
Awesome 👏🏿 job fams
If you buy a used ignition switch and cylinder from a junk yard with the immobilizer attached from that vehicle (with keys) will you still need to reprogram keys or will they already be synched and work?
Show the Emitter fuse under hood for the green flashing key light on dash.
@Auto Rex: I watched the video several times. I see you posted the link to get whatever tool you used to program the key. I called the Honda dealer and they told me this tool is called an HDS. Is that what you used? Is there any other tool that's cheap that allows you to program the key?
Almost anyone that watched this video is going to ask this question. I'm currently trying to find a cable an PC software that will do it. There are several OBS cables and freeware software out there for other makes, but not sure about Honda's and reprogramming keys. wish this question would have been answered because its really the crux of the whole repair process.
Well since I'm a Honda guy and I work as a mechanic and do lock picking as a hobby, don't switch your key. Take the lock cylinder out of the new assembly and take the pins out. Now you can use your old key with the new cylinder.
Hello sr how do I know if I have to get the piece with the 46 or 48 chip id?
Did you installed the new heedless bolts? I will replacing with flanges bolts.
Can you drive it without the immobilizer? I might be able to take it apart, but wont be able to use the same keys.
Can you still start your car with out the mobilizer, and
With the key that the new ignition switch comes with?
no, that is the point of immobilizer so a key that may fit the lock wont be able to start it unless you program that key to the car
Could you briefly help with which function on your Autel you selected to add new ignition keys but leave the doorlocks/fob to the original key....
Isn't there a risk of the airbag triggering when you're working inside the dashboard? Is there a way to eliminate this risk?
Disconnect battery first
Where can I get the part and key to replace it myself?
I don’t understand why not just change the bitting ( teeth) in the ignition cylinder for the same one because they get worn and the key stops from working can’t. Can’t turn the key anymore. By replacing them will work again.
QUESTION: If I pull an ignition lock cylinder off a salvage Odyssey with the whole assembly, including the immobilizer, and the keys, will the computer on my van accept the new immobilizer with the new keys and start up?
That should work
Or before installing it. Go to a locksmith and have the new lock Rekeyed. Honda ignitions ware like this. But reality is the original ignition cylinder just needed Rekeyed. Any locksmith could’ve done this and saved you money. And you’d still have one key for your car
So just have the original rekeyed
So is da odyssey n honda accord ignition da same n can I put da honda or odyssey in to da pilot?
Is there an app that supports reprogramming the transponder key?
Cheaper to remove the stuck wafers?
+bross 956 Possibly. I could not find a locksmith who would touch the thing.
My local locksmith quoted $50 if I took the ignition switch to them. I've seen others quote similar prices.
bross 956 zzasdwfedexceeded kzm🐽🐷🐖🐎🐎🐎
Some will some won't Have to ask a handful and get lucky, Isn't a hard job
That's what I did. I just removed a couple of the wafers from my tumbler cylinder. I know that makes it easier for a thief to start my car, but I hardly care (my vehicle is >12 years old and has >200K miles on it...if somebody steals that thing, they are in a bad situation and they need that van more than i do).
Hi, i have a 2007 Honda Odyssey and steering wheel locked, and key will not turn. I want to try this myself. I read somewhere i have to disconnect the air bag, is this true?
What about programming? What is needed how do you do it?
great thank you very informative
The immobilizer is the annenna for the chip.
