Is it possible to get a third-party fob key and have someone make a a chipset with the same remote frequency to fit that? I went around to local locksmiths and they didn't seem to get what I was talking about.

Has anyone tried this? I'm looking to get this key here (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BRAND-3-BTN-REPLACEMENT-KEY-REMOTE-FOB-FLIP-KEY-For-Honda-Black-Accord/111471685327) and maybe have a modded remote chip in it.

No it isn't.

First, you cannot get a key blank that is the same as the MMAL ones. They vary in thickness and length and there isn't a replacement. The Americans use a different key entirely to the aussie cars so you cant use that either.

The chip is not programmable. It isn't a frequency issue either.

If you want a different remote, splice in an aftermarket remote locking system.

You can get replacement chip keys made but they are the same shape and style of the old keys.

That's such a shame... The remote looks absolutely horrible and it bugs me much so ><

I suppose there are security issues with this obviously.

as I said, get an aftermarket remote central locking kit and splice it in. It can be made to work and then you can pick your remotes. Redundant, but it will do what you want.

I think Mr. MINNIT has what you want.
I bought a new MM fob from them for $120 but the guy said he could do a aftermarket fob for a lot lower price. For me I wanted the OEM type.
Post #2 seems to refer to the immobiliser key and you seem to refer to the Remote Keyless Entry. I'm talking about the RKE fob.
Then, having a new RKE fob, I launched into repairing the old fob. In another post I refer to the OEM fob and its repair.
hope this helps.

I agree with rumpfy's comments. I bought a replacement key from Mr Minnit, but didn't get it programmed. I had it wired under the car so that if I lost my keys, I could get into the car without damaging anything. Then I had the spare valet key wired up inside the car so that I could get home.

This all came oabout when I was in the local Mits dealer and a Mits Mirage came in on a flat top truck. Young lad had been skiing and lost the keys. He had to get a flat top truck to take it to Cooma and then the fun started. It was Mummy's car, so they had to ring Mummy and get her permission. Then they rang Mits Adelaide and got the key code. They gave a blank key to the lad and he went to the local locksmith who cut the key. Then they had to program the new key to the car. Then, when he got home, they had to get Mummy's keys and go to a Mits dealer and get all the keys programmed again. I don't know how much it cost, but it was an awful lot. Imagine if you were way out Whoop Whoop eg Munge Nat Park and lost your keys... That is why I have a spare non- programmed key under the car, and a spare programmed key inside so that at least I can get going again should I lost the keys. Of course the big thing is that because I have this precaution, I won't ever need it!
