About Product Overview

The KeyStart K098 is a transponder key built for Honda and Acura vehicles that rely on advanced security chip technology rather than a simple metal cut. It uses a plastic modular head design, which houses the transponder chip that communicates with your vehicle's immobilizer system, paired with a traditional blade for the physical ignition cut. The double cut type means both sides of the blade are machined, matching the pattern your original key uses to turn the ignition and start the engine.

This is the kind of key you need on hand when you're down to your last working transponder key, replacing a lost one, or setting up a spare before you actually need it. Because it's a transponder key, it still needs to be cut to match your vehicle's specific key code and then programmed to your car's immobilizer system before it will start the engine - this listing covers the blank/head assembly itself. It ships as a single key, black in color, made in the USA.

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

Ask our counter. Or theirs.

Most hardware stores can do more than you think. If we can't help you, the folks down the street probably can — just ask at the counter.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a familiar banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
