Will do, thanks.

I have experience with this installer and trust him when he says that
they will need the spare key to do the bypass. Had the same thing
happen with two previous GM cars utilizing the key immobilizer circuitry.

Still that leaves me with two fobs: one on the Honda key and a second,
albeit smaller, to operate the remote start and unlock the car when I'm
ready to enter and drive away.

Installer I've used carries Prestige (Audiovox) and once installed
they've proven to be pretty bullet-proof.
