Flip Key product off ebay seller : Arti Way - review

[ImportCustomx]

OKay So, i wanted a flip key. i was going to do a rebuilt honda/acura key. i am still going to do that. but i figured for the price, why not try the all in one and done one that i can just buy and get key cut boom, programmed, bring it home and program the transmitter myself.

Flip Key
please note my key is an 02. he can do 03-05
So i contacted Artiway on ebay - Contact him via email/ebay.
55$ shipped for one key
email him and tell him you are from ephatch. i have informed him of this site..i told him he should become a vendor, i am seeing what he can do. but if you email him he will give you the 55$ shipped per key.

His store is here : http://stores.ebay.com/flipkey?_rdc=1

The guy communicates within 4 hours of email sent. he is awesome to deal with. my experience was great. fast communication and i got the key in 9-14 days

Here is what you get out of the package from him



inspect, check it out, keep in mind its not like the sexy oem honda keys. its close but its obvious to any person that has held a honda key. Still a nice piece and it beats hacking up a nice honda setup and risking butchering it.





notice the acura symbol on the back.take an exacto knife and pull it up


then reapply the honda decal it comes with.

oo0o0o0o0oooooo ahhhhhhhhhh

good luck getting it cut. It won't fit in most key cutters.

You'll have to do what i did.

[ttttrigg3r]

no dude it fits in the key machine when you disassemble it. i bought the same thing. use the exacto knife to take the honda sticker off. then it's the two small screws, try not to strip them. then carefully take the case off and it all comes apart. It takes a bit of intelligence to put it back together but pretty easy if you pay attention when taking it off. Then take the whole assy to a honda dealer and the key should now fit in the cutting/tracing machine. Also I know you'll want to play with it but don't. I played with mine too much and i guess I broke a plastic tab or something and now you can just push the key back in without hitting the button. No biggie but a good product overall.
Also the cutting and programming of the chip should be 10$ or cheaper don't let the dealer rip you off.

very dramatic...i dont think ill be using my key for jousting.

i am doing this as a review to see how long it will last. and how good it is. we will see.

depending on if its steel or not i was going to weld the 2 pieces together on the inside spot..but i think the its cast..we will see...or if its 2 diff metals then ill have to epoxy. i dont plan on my key breaking anytime soon tho.

that was why i took the pic of the key with the pin..showing that there is my only point of concern

for the price and simplicity of just buying, getting it cut/programmed immobilizer, then just programming your locks real quick..not bad for 50$

Looks good, I kind of want to get one too. I bought the car used and it only came with one key.

How's the reception of the remote? (like how far away from the car and still able to lock the car?)

[ttttrigg3r]

I'm gonna take a guess at 100ft but i've never done a test or have ever been good at estimating distance. I've forgotten where I parked my car twice and used the remote to beep find it. The reception is decent and even goes through doors.

[ImportCustomx]

unsure as of right now. my car is still in the body shop, i am hoping to get it back end of next week. we will see though. its looking doubtful.

So now trying to get the immobilizer chip programmed and the key cut..dealership local to me is saying they will charge 85$ to do that...yeah fucking right...trying to find someone that can cut the key and not charge a leg for the 30 seconds of immobilizer programming.

[ttttrigg3r]

wow sorry to hear about that. It was so easy for me. Try more honda dealers or maybe coax an employee. I know for certain it's a 5 min job that does not warrant a 85$ bill. GL

[ImportCustomx]

yeah im trying...no luck yet.
