Well, I explained how that works.

The dance may be different, but there's still a dance.

The last sentence says that maybe they did it differently with the 03
Accord (but I seriously doubt it). But the rest of it is the same as
they've always said. In other words, we're not going to put into any
customer documentation how to do this procedure.

In a Honda system, you don't "reprogram the transmitters". I think
you're seeing sloppy documentation. Worst case, they're talking about
clearing the car's computer of all transmitter codes, and doing the
dance again for the keys you do have. This would "lock out" the lost
key, right?

And this is what may have happened in your case. A quick hit on the
service computer, and do the dance for the two remaining keys. There's
your $50.
