   I have a Honda Accord 2005 – (FOB has a transponder chip. – I never knew that).Just like many of the thousands of people that have the broken plastic on their Honda Accord Key/FOB, I decided to buy this $6.00 shell and do it myself. Honda service wanted $165.00 to replace it, but I figured a $6.00 part and a ten minute job was the better option for me. Well, it was a bit more challenging than I thought. It took me five minutes to switch the module and key to the new FOB. Pressed the lock/unlock/trunk buttons and it worked fine. Then, I tried to start the car, and the engine would only crank and not start. Hmmm!!So, after watching YouTube to see why his happens, this is where you learn things that you never knew before The old FOB has a transponder chip in a “hidden” slot. When you first open the old FOB, you see the slot but think nothing of it, so you ignore it. Although you think nothing of it, that slot holds the chip. There is a very tiny cover on that slot. Use a small flat screwdriver to pop off the cover to the slot. Then, you need to pull out the tiny chip. In my case, the chip was very tight in that slot. I had to pry away the plastic edges of the slot before the chip came out. After that, I just dropped the chip into a open space on the new FOB. Note: The new FOB does not have the same type of chip slot as the old FOB. The new FOB just has a open space. Because of this, I had to use small pieces of electrical tape to hold the chip into position so that it does not move around. – see attached picture. After all this, the key worked fine and the car started up OK. The buttons line up ok, but are a little deeper (sunken in) a little more than I wanted, but still OK.BTW: Getting the new FOB covers to snap together took many attempts to line up. The covers were prevented from snapping together because that plastic key molding kept kept interfering. I had to shift it back/forth a ton of times before getting the covers to snap together.Important Notes:1. It was a bit of a struggle to pull out the transponder chip from the old FOB slot. Be careful not to break the chip.2. The product details on this Amazon page do note that people need to transfer the transponder chip to the new FOB. However, I don’t think that people really understand what this means because there is nothing on the old FOB that looks like a chip. The chip is hidden in that plastic slot.3. There are certain years/models of cars that don’t use a transponder chip, thus it would only take a minute to switch to the new FOB – Hence why you see so many good reviews stating it was easy to change out. The seller needs to put that warning in boldface fonts and warning people that they should check their current FOB first. (just a friendly suggestion).4. If your FOB has a transponder chip, and you are hesitant or not sure how to transfer it to the new FOB, then I suggest you pay Honda the $165.00 to get a replacement. Not worth getting stuck somewhere with your car not starting because you did not change out the chip correctly.Overall, yes, I saved $165.00 and did the job myself for $6.00, but wow, this (the chip) was a challenge.On YouTube, so a search for “Honda Key FOB Immobilizer Hack, Broken Key”.

   Was ready to throw this item away until I saw the review by Josue Montavlo. Couldn’t see how this went together before I saw Mr. Montavlo’s review, but then it made sense.Thanks Mr. Montavlo.While no cutting is required on the replacement Fob, I did have to cut out the metal key from the original Honda fob as it is made as part of the fob. I used my Dremel tool to remove the metal key.

   Only 4 stars due to the error in deliver of the first one ordered. I ordered the correct fob, but they sent a different one that needed to be returned. Other than that, everything else seems to be working fine.

   This is a good replacement product. I have a 2007 Accord EX. The biggest problem I had was removing the transponder from the old key. The transponder is in a small rectangular box maybe half an inch by a fourth by three eights of an inch. I wanted to remove that little box intact. I couldn’t get the glue to let go, so I broke the old key case, cut away the parts of the old case that I could, and then file the rest of the old case off of the little box! It took MUCH longer than I had hoped when I started. HOWEVER, the transponder eventually fit into the new fob and all is now working. Listen to the advice in other reviews regarding fitting the key itself into the case! It goes into the side of the case that does NOT have the holes for the buttons and must slide in there snuggly before you try to put the case together. I suggest you read Jose Montalvo’s instructions near the top of these reviews!

   Works great as a replacement.Now, let me tell you the story about the 15-year-old key I was trying to replace.2007 Honda Accord key. My screw to open it was stripped by previous owner. Had to pry it open from the side. Only stabbed myself twice with the screwdriver.Once open, the electronic part came out easy. The transponder (anti-theft thing) did not. After removing the lid to it, the transponder was glued down. Of course, right, because it doesn’t have a lid holding it in….. oh! Wait! Used a razor blade to cut the box around the transponder away. Multiple times I almost accidentally performed surgery on myself.Now, to the key part you should just be able to pull out. Nope. Screw stuck in it holding it in. So, after trying to cut all the plastic around it off with said razor blade, I decided to use my brain. I pulled “flush cut plyers” (what I call them) and squeezed pretty tightly on the screw and got it out. I would have used them earlier, but I was afraid it would cut the screw (it is TINY.)Putting the new case on the key was easy after that.The point of the story is the 15-minute job I had to do turned into a 1.5-hour job. Just keep that in mind.Bonus tip!Also, the transponder is smaller than the hole they give you for it. About size of a grain of rice. I used tiny pieces of cardboard folded over to shim it in there so it would not rattle.

   This is a good casing although I’ve purchased it 3 times already in hopes that the same issue wouldn’t occur. For some reasons the screw randomly comes out and disappears leaving me with a broken casing. Besides that its good. Just figure a way for the screw not to come out.
