the smaller card you refer to is primarily used at the assembly plant when putting the car together,the barcode is scanned so the information about the lock & key set is recorded onto the build sheet which accompanies the car to its point of sale with most of the information being transferred onto the pdi sheet which you recieve when collecting your new car.

This card isnt much use to the dealer as they have no means of scanning the bar code on it.All honda keys are ordered by chassis number from europe(belgium i believe) & come pre cut (laser cut) then just require coding to your car. so really the card is of little real use .eg :if joe public walked into his local dealer with one of these security cards in his hand they wouldnt just order him some keys on the strength of that,he would need to prove he is the rightful owner first.
