The Honda CR-V is one of the top-selling SUVs in Florida, and we replace CR-V keys almost daily. 2005-2014 CR-Vs use a transponder key with the Honda 46 chip on earlier years and the 47 chip on 2012-2014 models. 2015-2016 CR-Vs introduced the smart key on EX and above trims. From 2017 onward every CR-V trim level comes standard with a proximity smart key and push-to-start. The 6th generation (2023+) uses Honda's latest encrypted fob.
A transponder key for a 2005-2014 CR-V starts from $120 at Locksmith Auto. Remote head keys for 2007-2016 models run from $150. Smart keys for 2015+ CR-Vs start from $180. Honda dealers quote $250-400 for CR-V keys depending on the generation, and that does not include the $80-150 programming fee they tack on separately. The total dealer bill for a CR-V smart key with programming often hits $400-500.
CR-V owners who go the dealer route for key replacement typically wait 2-5 business days for an appointment. If the dealer has to order the blank, add another 3-7 days. Locksmith Auto carries CR-V blanks for every generation and shows up same day. We cut the key, program it through the OBD-II port, and test lock, unlock, ignition start, and remote functions. The whole job takes 15-35 minutes. You save $100-250 compared to the dealer, and the 90-day warranty covers everything.
