Default Re: 04 Civic lost keys need new key and remote

Before you decide where to get them do you have the knowledge to program
them to the car. The information isn't copied to the key. The key has to be
programmed in the car. The remote also has to be programmed to the car. Call
several dealers and see what they charge to do the complete job as the
prices are different in different locations. You will also want them
reprogrammed ASAP so whoever has your other key and remote can't steal your
car. House keys with the car keys?
