About Honda
Honda builds famously reliable cars with clever engineering, from the magic-seat Jazz to the hot Civic Type R that sounds like a spaceship at full rev. They're tough as old boots, but the key systems are surprisingly security-minded, so losing one can be a bit of a faff.
AutoECU handles Honda keys including all-keys-lost and smart keys, along with module coding and electrical faults, keeping your Honda as dependable as the badge promises.

Honda questions
Can you programme a Honda key if I've lost them all?
Yes, Honda all-keys-lost is usually possible on Jazz, Civic, CR-V and HR-V, including smart key models. Proof of ownership is required. Call AutoECU with your registration and we'll confirm.
Why won't my Honda start, with the immobiliser light flashing?
That usually means the car isn't recognising the key, often due to a damaged transponder chip or worn key. Trying your spare key is a good first test. AutoECU can diagnose and reprogramme it.
Can you repair my Honda key fob instead of replacing it?
Often yes, worn buttons and broken casings on Honda keys are common and can usually be repaired. If the electronics have failed we can supply and programme a new one. Get in touch with AutoECU.
