Honda del Sol Automotive Locksmith

The Honda del Sol was produced 1994–1997. It is a discontinued passenger car, which mainly affects blank and fob availability rather than whether the work can be done — older platforms are frequently easier to key than new ones, not harder.

The del Sol’s 1994–1997 run crosses two key generations: model years 1994–1995 predate transponder immobilizers in the US market, so a replacement there is usually a cutting job rather than a programming one; and 1996–1997 sit in the transponder era, where the key carries a chip and often a remote head, so the work is cutting and programming together. Which one applies to a particular del Sol is decided by its model year and trim, not by the nameplate, so have the year ready when you call.

At 29+ years since the last Honda del Sol was built, wear is the usual reason a key stops working rather than failure of the key itself. A cylinder that has accepted the same key for decades eventually stops aligning to it, and a key cut fresh to code often works better in that lock than the worn original it replaces.

Eligibility for the Honda del Sol is confirmed against the exact model year and trim before a job is treated as scheduled, and proof of identity and vehicle ownership or written authorization is required before any key is originated or programmed.
