Rep Power: 0 Key FOB question for 2002 coupe LX
Hello, this is my first post. I actually did not come here to ask this question but I ended up asking about it first anyway.
I have a 2002 civic lx coupe with the FOB and key separated. I have always liked the convenience and portability of switchblade/flip keys, so I found this:
I was wondering of ways to transfer the key there. I know the FOB will work but I have no idea if the key will.
Instead of carrying a key and a fob, wouldnt it be more convenient to have it all in one box?
Thanks guys.

Those keys are usually cut different to accept a different type of key cylinder. Not sure if it can be cut a different way.
I actually prefer to have a smaller key and separate fob. My Fit has the fob with the key and I thinks it is a little bulky. A switch blade key would be cool, or having no key with push button.

I found one seller on ebay that can sell you the fob with compatible fob built in and also the immobilizer chip in it already. All you would need is for a locksmith to cut the key and program the immobilizer.
The one in your picture says you need to transfer parts from the old remote and key into the new one.
I was looking into the same thing but i'm iffy about those chinese parts

Just make sure its compatible so it works with your key-less receiver and you should be golden.
Let us know how it goes so we can have a good guide for future reference.
Good luck!
