About Accord Keys
The table below is our verified key reference for the Honda Accord — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer family each generation uses. Generations overlap at boundary years, so we always confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.
| Model / Generation | Years | Key Type | Transponder / Immobilizer | Blade / FCC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accord | 1998–2002 | T | Megamos 13 (ID13) / early ID48 — confirm by VIN | HD106 (external cut) |
| Accord | 2003–2007 | T | Philips ID46 (Hitag-2, PCF7936) or Megamos ID48 — confirm by VIN | HON66 (high-security) |
| Accord | 2008–2012 | RHK | Philips ID46 (Hitag-2, PCF7936/PCF7941) | HON66 |
| Accord | 2013–2015 | RHK / SP | Philips ID47 (Hitag-3, PCF7961X/NCF2952X) “G” chip | HON66 |
| Accord | 2016–2017 | RHK | Philips ID47 “G” chip (MLBHLIK6-1TA) | HON66 |
| Accord | 2018–2022 | SP | Philips ID47 “G” chip (CWTWB1G0090) | HON66 (emergency insert) |
| Accord | 2023–2025 | SP | Philips ID4A / NCF29A1M (ID47 family) | HON66 (emergency insert) |
Security System & Immobilizer
Honda’s Immobilizer System arrived in the late 90s and marched through Megamos and Philips ID46 chip eras into today’s Smart Entry proximity fobs. Red-key/green-key dealer lore aside, modern equipment programs every era at the curb.
On the Accord specifically, the immobilizer families we see are: Megamos 13 (ID13) / early ID48 — confirm by VIN, Philips ID46 (Hitag-2, PCF7936) or Megamos ID48 — confirm by VIN, Philips ID46 (Hitag-2, PCF7936/PCF7941), Philips ID47 (Hitag-3, PCF7961X/NCF2952X) “G” chip, Philips ID47 “G” chip (MLBHLIK6-1TA). A key that is cut correctly but not programmed to this system will turn the locks and never start the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Honda Accord Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my Accord. What now?
We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site. No tow, no dealer wait — this is our most common Accord call.
Will a hardware-store copy start my Accord?
It will open the doors and nothing else on transponder-era cars — the chip inside the key must be programmed to the immobilizer, which is the part we do curbside.
My Accord is older — do you still stock keys for it?
Yes. We carry blanks and chips going back to the 1998–2002 generation (t), and a code-cut fresh key usually turns a worn lock better than any copy of your worn key.
How fast can you reach my Accord in DFW?
