I have an 01 Prelude. I bought the car used and it only came with the one black key. My dad took my car to the golf course and lost the lost the F...ing key while golfing! This was 2 weeks ago and we've done everything to locate the key with no success. So I have the bright idea to order a chipped OBDI P28 ECU from phearable.net thinking just switching thinking I could just get a door key cut at the dealership and it would work in the P28 ECU I ordered. Come to find out the immobilizer is actually in the ignition not the ECU. Has anyone else had this problem with losing all their keys? So and OBD2 to OBD1 conversion wont solve my problem? I will still have to go fork out $500 for a new immobilizer and new set of keys before I can do my OBD2 to OBD1 conversion? Please help me out guys, what are my options here? Thanks for any info you can give me
I kinda butchered that middle sentence heres how it should read:
