If you need a key, you can go to the Honda dealership and have them cut a new key based on the VIN. You will have to provide proof of ownership.

A related question, how are you starting the car without a key?

Dumb question from me, not strange.

If your old key cyl works and all you need is the electrical part.....those are two different things. So you can keep your lock cyl and key and just replace the electrical part of the switch. Or else what are you going to do when you install the new part and have no key? Again, I'm easy to confuse.
