So I have a '93 Accord EX, with an alarm. I think its a stock alarm although I'm not 100% sure. I know the Key fob has only 1 button for lock/unlock, and the remote says honda on it. Well the key FOB is in really bad shape, and barely works, and definetly needs to be replaced. I was going to get one of those universal programmable ones, however I was told by a couple of people, that those don't work with stock alarms because they use rolling code technology. I called the dealer and they want about $130 +tax for a replacement. And they couldn't tell me weather mine actually uses rolling code technology or not. Personally I didn't think that rolling codes existed back in '93. In any case, does anyone know how I can replace my Key FOB without going to the dealer?

My honda has a security-disable button. Your car must have one too. Ask your dealer.
Just hit that button and then start with the key instead of using the remote button!
Unfortunately there just isnt a shortcut in this case. I just read a 3 page article in some magazine about some cars (MB,BMW etc) are almost impossible to open without the correct electronic codes.
Just another way the stealership gets to your walet!
Be nicer to your keys next time. I dont know how you managed to destroy that fob. I treat mine like crap and its in great shape after 9 years!
