I replaced a damaged ignition lock cylinder on a 2005 Accord. I had one original key and 2 blank keys with transponders. Not knowing if the virgin transponders will program as new keys, I chose to go with the Add Keys option instead. Since the steering column was still not fully assembled with the shrouds, I removed the immobilizer unit from the ignition switch and let it dangle by the wires. When the Autel prompts for the keys, it's just a matter of using 2 keys at the same time to complete programming. Hold original in the IMMO ring and operate the lock cylinder with the new key(s. The original key was only good for the transponder, the new lock cylinder has new keys which are cut different than the original because it was purchased at O'Reilly's Auto Parts instead of the Honda Dealership.

Am a snap on user been paying thousands of dollars on updates and buying new scanners just bought an autel for less than 350 and does lot more than my expensive snap on modis with all updates what a waste of money. how snap on want us to ve paying more updates and buying new equipment. when with less than what you give a down payment for new machine can buy an autel and get free updates for a year and plus no subscription need to be pay for other programs. by the way am over 19 years experience technician. just take the chance and go take a shot worn this new cheaper machines that work really good. KUST DONT EXPECT WILL BE AS FAST RESPONSE LIKE SNAP ON. but will work just need tome to get used to and nees to put some tome to discover more abilities on the software. good luck guys

Super glad I clicked on this video. Super cool guy and very good detailed video. I'm definitely subscribing. Can you please try to program a new key without any other key and make a video? I saw a video showing it done but the video wasn't anywhere nearly as good as yours. The guy just continued following the instructions without an original key with this same scanner. Thank you for showing the total number of keys programmed at the end. That's weird how it automatically deleted the other keys previously programmed. Can you also try to make a video on deleting a lost key or lost keys? Thank you!

Snap-on do great tools but for some reason have been left far behind with scanners,
everyone I've spoke to say that they are way over priced and and don't have half the functionality
of other scanners that sell for half the price.
Imagine the arrogance they must have to think they can sell inferior products at over inflated
prices just because it's got there name on it.
The thing is I know a lot of mechanics but I don't know a single one who uses a Snap-on scanner,
maybe there arrogance is actually costing them money?

Doing the Fords at work, I used the IDS, and you were allowed up to 8 or 9 keys. I would keep one and program up to 3 more if the supervisor wanted to delete the old keys if there were others he didn't know about. It was also one way we had a key for our shop if the vehicle switched yards where it was parked at night. That way maintenance could be done at night with the shop key.

Just bought a Honda that came with one key and one remote, key and remote are seperate. I do NOT like the idea of having to go thru the aggravation of this key crap thing nor the idea of not knowing why the original owner didn't have a freakin spare key, or how many keys were programmed. I'll get charged a rediculas price now just to reprogram new keys. this sucks!

There is an illegal update to that tool which Chinese are selling to auto theft gangs. And the code allows you to code new keys on vehicles without the original key being inserted! I hope it's not autel itself who is providing the code! Actually I wish someone had tried to copy keys without inserting the original key, wonder if it would work?

Hi Eric, I am curious, how many scan tools do you have and which ones do you recommend? Do you need multiple high-end scanners or have you just acquired them over time? Appreciate any comments or maybe a video: ?

Tech tip: run the new keys in an out on the outside lock cylinder to smooth out the rough cuts on the blade. It prevents keys getting stuck on the ignition. Love your videos.
