Getting a new master key
Hi,
I just recently got a fantastic 97 Accord EX. However, unfortunately the keys I have are a door key and an ignition key. From the owner's manual, I learned that the ignition key is actually the vallet key, and I am missing the master key. This is annoying to have separate keys, and I can only open the trunk from the inside, since the door key I have will not work on the trunk. Is there a way for me to get a replacement for this master key, and if so, about how much would this cost?
Thanks!

RE: Getting a new master key
A master key is no problem on a 1997 Accord....'98 is a different story. Anyway, go to your local Honda dealer and they can cut a new master key by looking up the VIN on your car. This is providing that thekey combination has not been changed (ignition switch and door locks changed). A new master key from a Honda dealer for a '97 or olderHonda should not cost over $10 maximum andmost likely around $7.
Hope this helps.

That was so helpful. I was able to get a new master key from the Honda dealer for 9.23 plus tax. I bought two of them for 20.00. All you need is your license and your registration to prove ownership and VIN no. Thanks so much
