Honda CR-V Key Replacement
Honda CR-Vs have been on Dallas–Fort Worth roads since the 1997 era, and across 5 key generations this model has used 3 different key systems — t; rhk; sp. Whichever yours is, DFW Keys 4 Cars cuts and programs it at your location, 24/7: spare keys, lost-everything replacements, fob programming, and lockouts. Call (214) 717-6398.
About CR-V Keys
The table below is our verified key reference for the Honda CR-V — 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CR-V | 1997–2001 | T | Megamos 13 (ID13) | HD106 (external cut) |
| CR-V | 2002–2006 | T | Megamos ID48 | HON66 |
| CR-V | 2007–2014 | T | Philips ID46 (Hitag-2, PCF7936) | HON66 |
| CR-V | 2015–2016 | RHK | Philips ID47 “G” chip (MLBHLIK6-1T/1TA) | HON66 |
| CR-V | 2017–2022 | SP | Philips ID47 “G” chip (KR5V2X / V44) | 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 CR-V specifically, the immobilizer families we see are: Megamos 13 (ID13), Megamos ID48, Philips ID46 (Hitag-2, PCF7936), Philips ID47 “G” chip (MLBHLIK6-1T/1TA), Philips ID47 “G” chip (KR5V2X / V44). 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 CR-V Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my CR-V. 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 CR-V call.
Will a hardware-store copy start my CR-V?
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 CR-V is older — do you still stock keys for it?
Yes. We carry blanks and chips going back to the 1997–2001 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 CR-V in DFW?
