*Flat estimate for a standard transponder key. Proximity / push-to-start smart fobs cost more, and the exact price is quoted on the call before any work.
Honda HR-V Keys & Fobs
The HR-V key changed with the generation. The first-gen HR-V (2016-2022) mostly uses a Honda transponder remote-head key with a HITAG/G-chip in the head and a separate remote, and some trims got the proximity smart fob for push-to-start with keyless entry. The redesigned second-gen HR-V (2023 and up) runs a proximity (push-to-start) smart fob across the lineup, with a hidden emergency blade inside for the door. Either way it isn't a cut-and-go job: the chip or smart fob has to be married to your HR-V's immobilizer through the OBD port, and the metal blade is cut to your VIN. We do both with the car in front of us.
A common one on the HR-V smart fob is the door responding but push-to-start not working, or the dash flashing a "key not detected" warning. Nine times out of ten that's a dead CR2032 coin cell inside the fob, not a dead fob. The fix is a fresh battery, and we'll confirm the fob still talks to the car before we leave. If the buttons themselves are cracked or mushy from years of pocket wear, that's a worn fob, and we cut and program a fresh one on the spot.
Honda HR-V Key Fob FCC IDs
Flip your fob over: the FCC ID is printed on the back of the case. Find it below, or just read it to our dispatcher. It tells us the exact remote your Honda HR-V takes before the van rolls out.
| Years | Key type | FCC ID |
|---|---|---|
| 2016-2022 | Remote-head / smart by trim | MLBHLIK6-1TA, KR5V1X |
| 2023-2024 | Proximity smart fob | KR5TP-4 |
Spare key with a working key in hand: from $75. Full replacement, no key at all: from $189. Smart and proximity fobs price above basic chip keys; the exact flat number comes with your VIN on the call.
Trim and market can change the fob, and several IDs often fit one model year. We confirm the exact part by VIN on every job, so a mismatched guess never reaches your driveway.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. An all-keys-lost HR-V is a normal job for us, it just takes longer than adding a spare. We pull your immobilizer data through the OBD port, cut a fresh blade to your VIN, and program the transponder or smart fob from scratch so the engine will start. Bring or have your photo ID and proof you own the HR-V handy.
