It was a perfect fit for my 2012 Honda Civic key fob. The installation was very quick and easy, took only 5-7 minutes. It also feels durable. I was worried that my car may not start but after installation, I went to my car and it started perfectly with no issues. I'm very happy with this order.

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2024
These worked perfectly for the cracked housing on my 2011 Honda Accord keys. Honda quoted me 600$+ for two keys. The keys housing crumbled in the Phoenix heat. I didn’t even use the directions it came with. Easy to assemble and car started as normal.

I replaced the broken remote shell for a 2014 Honda Pilot. The original was cracked and felt like it would break off when turning the key in the ignition. Now it's very sturdy and feels great. Functionally, it's identical to the original. The only difference I noticed is cosmetic -- the Honda logo on the back is missing. Not a big deal to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE ONLY REVIEW YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2022
Now that I have your attention, please look at this review carefully in order to do it the right way.
Lots of reviewers are saying it's junk and that it doesn't line up properly, but fortunately that's false, as they did not install it right, and there is only one right way to install it right. For the people who weren't successful, its not their fault as the instructions are garbage.

1. First of all, like mine was, many of yours keys have broken from the point where the metal key meets the plastic case housing and the plastic piece that slips on to the metal key, so I think thats where there was alot of confusion as to why the new piece does not line up with the metal key hole. Also when taking apart your old key, check to see if your key has a transponder, a little piece that either gets stuck on the plastic housing with the logo side, or just falls out when you take it apart. Do not lose this piece. Mine did not have it but some Honda keys like the Accord does. I have the Honda Pilot key. Now:

*IMPORTANT* Once you have everything disassembled, take the smallest plastic piece that looks like the Pizza Hut logo, and SLIDE IT onto the metal key, it slides on both ways. THIS MIGHT BE DIFFICULT as other people have said. The hole on the metal key WILL line up with the plastic pizza hut piece hole.
2. *MOST IMPORTANT PART* Notice the notches on the Pizza Hut piece, these notches also *SLIDE IN* to the plastic housing piece that has the Honda logo on it. Look at my pictures, it SLIDES into the housing from the inside and outward, this allows the key to fit in snug and not move. IF YOU DO NOT SLIDE IT IN, and just place it in to the plastic housing, it will not align properly and when it all goes back together, it will be slightly cracked open and will break very soon.
3. This next step is where you will need a bit of tape or light to medium loctite or similar glue and place your transponder on the right side of the housing where the holes for the buttons are. If you notice on the piece that has the physical buttons on it, there is a cut out groove where the tiny transponder goes. That is where the transponder has to be glued in.
4. Place the piece that has the physical buttons and place it onto the plastic housing key with the holes, ensure that the grooves drop in with the transponder. Let it dry.
5. Take the plastic piece with your metal key and place it on top of the piece with the buttons, apply pressure to snap everything in place, and both pieces with be aligned with no gaps and sturdy. Screw in the new screw to secure everything together.

5.0 out of 5 stars It did the job!
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2024
My hubby was very impressed and happy that I ordered this and repaired my broken key fob. Saved a lot of money, compared to going to the dealership. Instructions and the needed tool was included. This senior citizen was able to do it in 15 mins. I did take pictures of the original casing, it had some numbers/ codes on it that I might need in the future. It worked immediately and perfectly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Warning - You need to check if your old FOB has the transponder chip!!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2022
I have a Honda Accord 2005 - (FOB has a transponder chip. - I never knew that).

Just like many of the thousands of people that have the broken plastic on their Honda Accord Key/FOB, I decided to buy this $6.00 shell and do it myself. Honda service wanted $165.00 to replace it, but I figured a $6.00 part and a ten minute job was the better option for me. Well, it was a bit more challenging than I thought. It took me five minutes to switch the module and key to the new FOB. Pressed the lock/unlock/trunk buttons and it worked fine. Then, I tried to start the car, and the engine would only crank and not start. Hmmm!!
So, after watching YouTube to see why his happens, this is where you learn things that you never knew before The old FOB has a transponder chip in a "hidden" slot. When you first open the old FOB, you see the slot but think nothing of it, so you ignore it. Although you think nothing of it, that slot holds the chip. There is a very tiny cover on that slot. Use a small flat screwdriver to pop off the cover to the slot. Then, you need to pull out the tiny chip. In my case, the chip was very tight in that slot. I had to pry away the plastic edges of the slot before the chip came out. After that, I just dropped the chip into a open space on the new FOB. Note: The new FOB does not have the same type of chip slot as the old FOB. The new FOB just has a open space. Because of this, I had to use small pieces of electrical tape to hold the chip into position so that it does not move around. - see attached picture. After all this, the key worked fine and the car started up OK. The buttons line up ok, but are a little deeper (sunken in) a little more than I wanted, but still OK.

BTW: Getting the new FOB covers to snap together took many attempts to line up. The covers were prevented from snapping together because that plastic key molding kept kept interfering. I had to shift it back/forth a ton of times before getting the covers to snap together.

Important Notes:
1. It was a bit of a struggle to pull out the transponder chip from the old FOB slot. Be careful not to break the chip.
2. The product details on this Amazon page do note that people need to transfer the transponder chip to the new FOB. However, I don't think that people really understand what this means because there is nothing on the old FOB that looks like a chip. The chip is hidden in that plastic slot.

3. There are certain years/models of cars that don't use a transponder chip, thus it would only take a minute to switch to the new FOB - Hence why you see so many good reviews stating it was easy to change out. The seller needs to put that warning in boldface fonts and warning people that they should check their current FOB first. (just a friendly suggestion).

4. If your FOB has a transponder chip, and you are hesitant or not sure how to transfer it to the new FOB, then I suggest you pay Honda the $165.00 to get a replacement. Not worth getting stuck somewhere with your car not starting because you did not change out the chip correctly.

Overall, yes, I saved $165.00 and did the job myself for $6.00, but wow, this (the chip) was a challenge.

On YouTube, so a search for "Honda Key FOB Immobilizer Hack, Broken Key".
