Lude Generation

so iv been looking the last two days. my big bunch of keys has gone walk about. Now I am not admitting defeat but just in case....... how much trouble would it be to get hold of a SH set of keys, door locks and IG barrel and fit them?

just out of interest

Right. Where were you when you last had them?...



Does it need to be an SH set? What's the difference between an SH set and a regular UKDM 5th gen set?

SH = Second Hand

I had them sunday evening because I locked the lude up. I then attached the lude keys to the big bunch and went out with the missis to drive the national meet route, in her car so i didnt need the keys. thats the last clear memory i have. attaching all the keys together.


like i say, im not giving up but what is involved with changing the IG barrel?

I've removed a number of ignition barrels and lock setsand they've all been very simple, but I've never replaced them on a lude, let alone a 5th gen, so I won't advise Have you checked the manual?...

I'm also interested in this, the battery in my fob has gone (the contacts on the key that charge it are broke'd ) so I can't use my remote locking, even though it's only from like a foot away. I can't remove the cover on the key to replace the battery (the cover kept falling off so I super glued it, thinking that as it charges itself I won't need to replace it )

So as LLL says, what is needed? I assume you'd need new door locks, a new ignition barrel, and a boot lock along with the keys? Is it possible to just get a new key from Honda (as long as you have a spare key to have it cut from)?

you may need immobliser box thing also, unless its coded to the ecu hope not

not too sure how the immobliser works, I know the key is the transponder type

Does the Type-S have an immobiliser?

no immobiliser on the S. only an aftermarket one.

i would not be bothered but for the fact its the only bloody key i have

its fallen down the back of something.....i hope...


good to hear its not too heinous a job if it comes to it just annoying.

That far?! Mine has to be within 50mm! I can reach the door handle with the same hand from the furthest distance away!

So you'd basically need to get on to the breakers for a full set then. I wouldn't be surprised if it'd cost you anywhere up to £100. Shame being an import the keys aren't kept on file to simply order a new one. (At least that's what I've heard anyway).

at least i get no 'programmed key' issues.

just keep looking james. just keep bloody looking
