What product will enable me to use a non programmed key on my 2006 honda element

0 votes
I bought a used 2006 honda element and it did not come with any spare keys. Instead of going to the dealership and paying $110 per key for the key and programming to make spare keys I was hoping that you offered a product that would allow me to use keys that have not been programmed for the vehicle. I can get a spare key cut much cheaper as long as I do not need it to be programmed.  The car does not have a remote start nor does it have a factory alarm

None. Every aftermarket piece is meant to work with remote starters and takes into consideration that the user would have dealer programmed keys.

So even the Honda-SL3 bypass unit would require me to use a factory programmed key? I have a single programmmed key, I was just hoping to avoid expensive replacments.
To be able to drive your car, you need to put a key with a valid transponder chip inside.
