Honda Wave Key

[Psylocke]

The Honda City is advertised as having a "wave key". What exactly is this wave key, and is it any good?

[BlueBimmer]

its a form of key that supposedly is difficult to duplicate compared to a normal key..but i hear there are some who can duplicate the key. this key is new to honda but was already used in Mercs n Bimmers from the last decade pa.

[tinky]

Nabasa ko lang:



It's a special key with a secret code. When this key is inserted into the ignition, the key code is read and transmitted to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Once the code is verified, feedback is sent to the Immobilizer Control Unit (ICU), which allows the engine to start. Otherwise, the engine is immobilized and that guarantees complete security against car theft.

[BlueBimmer]

how bout those without immobilizers?

[tinky]

I'm not sure about this one .
But I think only cars equipped with immobilizer use this kind of key.

iba ata ang immobilizer and wave key. you can have a wave key without an immobilizer

tama ba?

ford says that the keys to the new focus are wave keys. it does not look like your conventional key. medyo quadrado isya and iba ang ngipin. mahirap ata i-pa duplicate sa mr quickie

Wave key- no more key insertion, no more key twisting left to right to open or close car door even starting, no more pressing the key button to lock or unlock or even alarming the car, all u gonna do just WAVE IT to the car, wait and see then for sure nothing will happen.....

yung immobilizer naman na hindi wave key looks like any conventional key and can even be duplicated by mr quickie.

however, since may immobilizer chip, you can only get this from the casa and then have this programmed/reprogrammed after you have the teeth copied in any mr. quickie

otherwise, you can have a copy made in mr quickie but it will not start the vehicle. the only use will be for just opening and closing doors

Makes sense.
My car key comes with a chip .
I'm not too sure how it works.Never had time to read the manual.
Pero I was told that if you get your key duplicated (w/o the chip)
and try to start your engine with it,it will immobilize the car automatically.
Pero sabi ko nga I'm not too sure so kung sino ang nakakaalam how this
works..pa-share naman jan

I've had my Ford Lynx key duplicated at Mr.Quickie, as I needed an emergency back-up. I was puzzled when I tested it, as it would turn in the ignition but not start the car. Then I saw the red light on the dash... d'oh!

here's how the wave key looks like, had it on my previous 2004 Civic. Its just hard to duplicate.




You may duplicate the key with chip (immobilizer) but like what nike said, it wont start the car. Mazda3 has engine immobilizer aka chip on the plastic part of the key.

So does it mean that on the Honda City the "wave" only refers to mechanical key design and doesn't have those chips in it?

[FrankDrebin]

Sus! Akala ko key ng Honda Wave Underbone Motorcycle.

I believe both. Again, on my previous 2004 USDM Civic it has the wave key design and an engine immobilizer.

[flakez]

Sus! Akala ko key ng Honda Wave Underbone Motorcycle.

hehehe. pareho tayo.

ayon sa aking pagsusuri ay napag alaman ko na mga 2001 model pataas ay meron ng chip sa kanikanilang mga susi.. so kahit magpagawa ka ng susi sa mrquikie o sa kanto nyo ay di ito gagana dahil sa immobilizer chip sa susi mo.. ang ginagawa ng mga magnanakaw ngayon ay may susi sila na may nakakonektang device na maghahanap ng code para maistart ang oto mo.. ang masaklap pa nito ay ang mahal ang magpaprogram ng susi sa casa.

My car is a 2004 Civic Vti-S. Nagpa-duplicate ako ng wave key para lang mabuksan ang pinto in case of emergency. Ang akala ko hindi nito kayang i-start iyong makina dahil nga sa input dito. Anyway, sinubukan kong gamitin iyong duplicate para i-start iyong makina just for the sake of trying. Well, nag-start iyong makina. Ibig sabihin nito walang immobilizer chip iyong susi.

[boybi]

magkaiba ang wave key at ang immobilizer. any key, be it wave or conventional, can have an immobilizer. and not all wave keys have immobilizer.

[chieffy]

Mazda3 has engine immobilizer aka chip on the plastic part of the key.

dyan sa inyo meron pero dito sa pinas walaaaaaaa!!!!! wala kaming immobilizer!!!!!!! hu hu hu hu hu

na test na ng isa sa amin...nagpa dulicate siya ng key pero gumana pa rin...meron lang yata sa mazda 6 at tribute dito sa pinas
