Bbc84 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 subscribed, waiting for more info about the honda key and 08' key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ok, I got the honda shell today. The only problem is that they sent me the wrong remote. The seller sent me a non flip (all in one) key instead of the flip one that i ordered (DARN). I will tell you this, the buttons fit fine, the panic button is alittle smaller than the hole on the shell, but it fits. All fits as in you took the Subaru guts out and put it into the Honda shell, no modifications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTkansan Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I got the same result with my partner's key to his Honda Fit. The panic button is smaller, but the other buttons line up perfectly. Im ready to see that it works as easily with a honda flip, and then im buying the damn thing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firepyro515 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Yeah, hopefully the seller can get me the key in the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firepyro515 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 ++UPDATE++ Flip key is here, for us 08 guys, its on the easier side http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/59/l_1d4c51e4a85049338e79b50b867f7dff.jpg This is it opened http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/8/l_d68806c1f98c44a9bd13eae781d01ca8.jpg I had to use a dremel and sand down part of the remote, the 3 blue hexagons http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/6/l_078e24dd10bb4273b8cadc82d327cb6f.jpg I also sanded a little bit on the green line, the panic button was pushing up against the casing http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/45/l_2742ad27f7ad4e818bfcdd6a6b8263d7.jpg I also needed to sand part of the actual internal casing because it was just a little bit too wide (along the red lines) http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/10/l_14c556f3b3de4b569cd6ed8d485ad8dd.jpg My biggest dilemma is the actual key, the blank is pinned into the revolving part and i don't have a punch. Hopefully i can find some way to do it. If you guys have any suggestions, let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Very cool, I'm not sure what you could use for the pin, but I'm glad it didn't require too much modification. Good luck on finishing and I'll be waiting for pics [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!! You want a shirt? Hit me up here!!!

firepyro515 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 yeah, i might be able to find another key blank mounted on a new revolving mount, but we'll see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that if you could get it to work, it wouldn't be that bad. The big problem would be getting it to work. If you look close enough, all the buttons are on one side. Our panic buttons are on the oppsite side.

firepyro515 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 No, hes talking about using a pre 08 remote. where the fob and key are separate. If you look at the fob of an 06 OB, you will see that it has 3 buttons on the front, and the panic button is on the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll have to wait until he comes back to see what he was referring to. Aren't you having a problem because the key blank that came with the Honda remote won't fit in the Subaru ignition?

kjiz Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Haha, I guess I should have been more clear. Yes, I did mean to use only the key from that remote and put it in the Honda remote. Hopefully it is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firepyro515 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yeah, because of the way honda keys are made, they are about 2 times as thick as a subaru key without the channels. The keys are designed to be removed from the revolving mechanism, but i don't have a punch that will fit the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhm Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 would a small finish nail or something down that line work? i am not familiar with the size of the pin, but have used this in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aksmith Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 i know theres a little pin that goes in a little hole in the key that conects the key to the remote. did you drill a hole in the new key or what? if so how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firepyro515 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 So, finally was able to get that key blank out, now all i have to do is find sometime to get the key cut. http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1797/222/81/39706490/n39706490_32265201_3876.jpg http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1797/222/81/39706490/n39706490_32265202_4254.jpg http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1797/222/81/39706490/n39706490_32265203_4563.jpg http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1797/222/81/39706490/n39706490_32265204_4898.jpg The biggest advantage is carrying the key, with the new shell, you don't have the key sticking into your leg, alot easier to carry. Like i said, i haven't had the key cut yet (i just got it today) when i do, i will let you guys know how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you replacing the Honda key blank with and where did you get it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firepyro515 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 i found a "subaru" flip remote shell on ebay and just used that blank instead of the honda blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 i found a "subaru" flip remote shell on ebay and just used that blank instead of the honda blank So it just popped right in with no mods?

firepyro515 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 If you go back to page one, the one backlash found, i got one of those, and used that blank. The actual fob that backlash found is a piece of crap, the buttons don't work, a lot of hot glue and it most likely wont work, but the key blank is easy to remove (only screwed in) Then, i popped the honda one out and just used the same pin to pin the blank subaru in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to have to get the pieces and make one for myself. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
