Key,

Thank so very much for the info. Once I find the code who can cut me a key for it? Do I need to go to the dealer or can I go to any locksmith? Also, if you don't mind me me asking may I ask what your source is?

Thanks.

locksmith can cut.. FIRST OFF tho, go open the glove box.. look on the glove box door OPEN, and in the near to you left corner for a white sticker, with a black line printed on it-sometimes the code is written right there.. IF (be surprised how often I find for OLDER foreign cars ONLY) it still has the original owners manual, they were oddly pretty good of writing the code there too

Go to your local locksmith. While the code may very well be on the ignition, it is on the cylinder not on the ignition housing and the cylinder must be removed to see it. The passenger door lock is your best bet, and I would recommend that you bring the lock cylinder to the locksmith, that way he can test the key and if the code is wrong he can still make a key.

You question the source of the information. This car has been around for 20 years and I am sure that "key" has been around for that long making keys for cars. I know I have.

a locksmith will be your best bet on getting a code key cut for your 20 year old car.

also look at Shiva's responce news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com it may still be in the clove box?

Key, when you say "code series 3001-4481" do you mean that the key code will be a four digit number between 3001 and 4481? I think I found the code written on the inside of the front cover of the manual and it does fall within that range.

That should be the code.

bingo !!! give it a try...

credit to Shiva for that..

g'day

I made a key for a civic here recently. Think it was later than 87 though. I used a keyblank and a file. I did'nt need any code. Took about 30 minutes Any qualified automotive locksmith should be able to do that.

goma.

On many of the late 80's and up til mid to late 90's hondas, I find that the keycode is on nearly every lock. The easiest to get to is the glovebox lock if equipped, also if there is a valet lockout on the passenger side that locks the gas cap and trunk release, it can often be pulled out with just your fingers, or by taking off the shroud over top with a phillips #2 screwdriver.

you're welcome..

dealer or any automotive locksmith should be able you cut the key for ya.

my source is 26+ years in the locksmith trade... also, being lucky enough to do the lockwork for virtually every dealer in my area helped.....
