Yes, every key must be coded. Its $75 at the dealer here in Davis, CA. Last service they did an ECM update and I got home and none of my other keys would...
A lockshop in Redwood City charged less than $50 for a new key - blank, cut and program. Later I put the computers, battery,etc.from another Insight into mine;...
Try Ebay for the remote. Most were $20 or less. My remote stopped working so I'm using the spare one right now. On eBay you can find lots of them for sale....
For most late model Hondas. (depending a bit on equipment, model and trim level) The ignition/door and valet keys have a microchip in them. That's why they can...
There are two types of keys. One gets programmed to the car (newer) and one that the car gets programmed to (older) Laboriously tapped out on a phone keypad....
... There are going to be a lot of Insights hitting the landfills once Honda tries to pull some $6000 BS on an out-of-warranty Insight. That's pretty much a...
... I've seen the newer kind, with all the buttons on the head, that come with the new HCH and other models. I got one of the last Insights made, took delivery...
There may be no need to junk an Insight if the BCM "connector-A override" actually works. Then, if the story is true, the car can be driven normally without...

The Cobasys/Chevron patents are for Large Format NiMH traction batteries......and the patents expire in 2013/2014. I am not sure the Honda battery falls into...

I own a 2002 insight and replacement batteries in my area are around $3400. I have heard people say they are paying $6000. I live in fl. and there are plenty...

What is a damper? Is that what we call an air dam (the wind deflector below the front fender aka wing)? If so, get it from a junkyard (auto recycler). It is...
Ahah. We'd call it a strut because it contains a spring. While you can get one from a recycler, you probably want new. Just one, though. Laboriously tapped out...
