Hello, I recently lost the chip that is needed to start the car. You put the thing in and then put the key in to start it. I don't know what it is called, I don't even know if this is something that comes with all accords of this year. If you know what I am talking about, how can I get a replacement? And if I can just get rid of the whole "chip security" thing, how do I do that?

 

Never heard of such a thing as a factory item. I bet it's an aftermarket security system so you hope someone around here happens to have the same type of system...

 

cb7s don't have a "chip" for the keys to start the car

 

I googled some and found it is an immobilizer.

 

I'm pretty sure Accords didn't start having immobilizers until 1998. And it's not a separate "chip". Yes there's a chip, but it's embedded in the plastic part of your key.

Aftermarket stuff.

 

yes I know for a fact cb7's didn't have them..Iv owned 3 cb7's and I'm in a cb7 "click" no one has a immobilizers. Not sure when they started using them but 98 sounds about right Jim

 

My 1998 DID have an immobilizer so I guessed they started with the new gen.

 

How can I take it out? It is a loctronics programmable http://www.aboutsecurityconcepts.com...urity_s/71.htm

 

I took it out. thanks for the help

 

Unfortunately, with all the different aftermarket things, and different ways of wiring them in, it's really hard to deal with that over the internet. Unless one of us happens to have exactly the same unit.
