Where can I get OEM replacement keys?

Click for full size.

Any Honda or Acura dealer can punch (not cut) a brand new key based on your VIN number, and most dealers will require you to provide proof of ownership of the vehicle. This will only work if the locks in your car have not been replaced, otherwise the new key will open only the original locks. Key blanks can be purchased from any dealer as well. Delray Acura in Delray, Florida charges about $1 per blank, and punches them for free whether you purchased the blanks from them or not. Most dealers charge more. Part numbers are 35113-SP0-A01 for the main key, and 35114-SP0-A01 for the valet key. The valet key is smaller and can be used only in the ignition and doors, it will not unlock the glove compartment or trunk. (Note: If you want to make use of the valet key, make sure to lock the glove compartment after engaging the trunk lock switch inside. This prevents the trunk from being opened without a key using the button on the drivers door.)
