Key number plate

Forestman · 11th June 2007, 18:07

Hello! When you picked up your new Honda Civic, did you receive a key number plate along with two keys?

I did not, but the instruction manual says that this should have been delivered with the car.

It is a small metal thing with a number on it needed to reproduce keys if you loose them.

Yeh small plastic card with a bar code attached. No big drama, just go to the dealer they should keep a record of such things.

No I did not get this key number plate either.
My dealer told me I didn't need one.
Figure that means if i give them the chassis number (read thhrough the windscreen) and some adequate ID, I should manage.

if you just look on the inside front page of your service book you "should" find the lock number for your car written there,it is also noted on the pdi checklist that you should have got with the car upon delivery. generally if the car has not had any replacement locks fitted then all your dealer will need is the reg number or the chassis number to order replacement keys !

But the manual states that I should have gotten the card with the lock number on.

i received a spare key (with a little rubber protector on!) and a tag with a barcode on it. I guess that must be it.

hondatech is right. I remember finding it on the pdi schecklist (one sheet of paper) lying in the glovebox when I got the car.

Aye I had 2 keys each with a nice keyfob and the spare (with the rubber protector OOER) had the small plastic tag attached BLIMEY my dealer actually did something right!

GHGH · 15th June 2007, 07:22

I did not receive any rubber protectors either.

I didn't get one either - the manual states you "may" receive one I think. Nice and vague.

I queried this with 2 dealers and they reassured me they can get a spare key without any issues from the VIN number.
