What you mean Red key? what that's for?

[tinkerbell]

it is the magical key with the immobilizer code in it that Honda uses to copy to give you new keys when you lose your old keys...

i am SHIT scared of losing my one key to my car, but am too lazy to get a new one coded for $80 in Cabra...

weird eh?

[VTECMACHINE]

Yeah you are a bit of a strange one Tinks.

Thanks for clearing up bout the magical RED key! w00t!

my car came with a red key that has in big letters on the back of the packaging..

"DO NOT PUT IN IGNITION"..

..but that just made me curious =\

[spoondc2r]

Don't do it, and don't do it on other ppl's car too

My DC2R ECU stopped responding randomly one day and I towed the car to Honda and had to pay for a whole new ECU to be fitted which cost over $500 (also had a full service included, can't remember exact price breakdown). It came with 2 new black keys and 1 red key.

I praise Honda's mechanical reliability, but wtf? It was pretty unlucky for electronics to fail like this.
