Take your registration and go to your dealer. He'll be able to carve one
from you based on your VIN (serial number).

You can try a locksmith who does auto work, they should be able to make
new keys for you.

If the Key has the imobolizer function you are screwed unless you have
the master key. I had the same problem when I purchase my 98 prelude
and made the dealer supply two keys. Cost the dealer over $100 for a
new imobolizer unit.
Call the dealer maybe it changed in 99!

Uh, '97-'01 CR-V does not have the immobilizer.





How to turn off 'Maintenance Required" light:

1. Hold trip/reset button on dash
2. Turn key to "ON" or start engine
3. Hold button til light goes out

Even for cars that have the immobilizer, a locksmith with the right
equipment can originate NEW keys for your car, without the original
master key. Don't believe the dealers who say only they can service the
car. They want you to believe that.
