Honda Insight Key Replacement

Honda Insights have been on Dallas–Fort Worth roads since the 2010 era, and across 2 key generations this model has used 2 different key systems — rhk; sp.

About Insight Keys

The table below is our verified key reference for the Honda Insight — 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.

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 Insight specifically, the immobilizer families we see are: Philips ID46 (Hitag-2, PCF7936/PCF7941A), Philips ID47 “G” chip (CWTWB1G0090). 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.

Which key does your year have?

  • 2010–2014: RHK — Philips ID46 (Hitag-2, PCF7936/PCF7941A) (HON66)
  • 2019–2022: SP — Philips ID47 “G” chip (CWTWB1G0090) (HON66 (emergency insert))

Honda Insight Key FAQ

I lost the only key to my Insight. 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 Insight call.

Will a hardware-store copy start my Insight?

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.

How fast can you reach my Insight in DFW?

We dispatch the nearest mobile unit across the whole metroplex, 24/7. Call (214) 717-6398 with your location and we’ll give you an honest ETA.
