2002 Honda CR-V: key became stuck in ignition cylinder; couldnt operate vehicle.New ignition assembly was going to cost between $700 and $1000! Searched the internet and found this ignition cylinder by 3mirrors. It just sounded too good to be true, so (thinking I was probably throwing my money away) I ordered it.I removed the entire ignition assembly from the steering column. Then I removed the chip-reader components (two black plastic parts on the "key end" of assembly). Using the old key still trapped in the cylinder, I pulled the old cylinder out of the assembly. I inserted a new key into the new cylinder and slid it into the assembly. To my utter astonishment, it snapped right into place! A perfect fit!I then cut my old key open and removed the chip from it. I loaded the chip into the new key. I re-attached the ignition assembly to the steering column, re-connected all the wires, and the car started right up!I couldn't be happier with this product! It saved me a bunch of money!A couple of hints:1) There are several videos on YouTube describing this repair. Although they may not be working on your specific model/year Honda, they can be a great help for someone who has never pulled an ignition assembly. Utilize this help.2) Most of these ignition assemblies are secured to the steering column with security bolts (the heads break off at installation). Use a dremel tool to cut slots in the tops of these bolts, then you can remove them with a plain screwdriver. Replace them with bolts of the same thread pattern an length.3) It is easiest to perform this repair by pulling the entire ignition assembly out of the car. When doing so, you must diconnect several electrical connectors. DO NOT MESS WITH YELLOW CONNECTORS! They are part of your airbag system and do not connect to the ignition assembly. Also, it is best to disconnect the negative lead from the car's battery before beginning this repair.4) The only adjustment I had to make was re-aligning the ignition switch (white component at the opposite end of assembly from key-side). This required removing it, making sure it was aligned well, and re-attaching it.I hope this helps!

My 2006 Odyssey wouldn't start because the key just would not turn. For a few weeks we could jiggle the key or wheel and get it to start, but finally it was just done. I did not want to replace the entire assembly, and definitely did not want to pay a dealer to reprogram keys. This was the perfect solution. It's a pain to take apart all the screws to get to the one part that needs to be swapped out, but not difficult. The old part pops out, and this one goes in. We used an angle grinder, wire cutters, and a small screwdriver to get the chip out of the old Honda key. The only difficulty was getting the little door on the new key to snap shut. As some others noted, it's not a great fit. A little silicone fixes the issue and does not stop the ignition from recognizing the chip. I'm thrilled with the easy fix and the price.

I want to give it five stars but i also want to give it three.. it did work and is much better then my screw driver but it didn’t come with the roll pin and the latch part was different then the oem. Overall I am happy with it though.

If you have a Honda Civic, do not buy this part it might fit other Hondas, but not the Civic like it says. it’s too long save your time and money. You won’t be able to find the other cylinder. This one keeps on popping up every time at different prices, but still the same one save your time maybe replace the leafs inside the cylinder instead that’s where I’m at, but don’t buy this unit. It won’t fit. so I’m gonna give it five stars he’s in the description. It does say to be careful which I wasn’t.

2007 Civic LX manual transmission:Man did this save me some money. This was the second time my key would not turn to start my civic. The first time I did not know it was something I could fix myself, I had the car towed to a dealership. Their repair cost approx $1000.Install took me 2 hours and was slightly different than the youtube videos. The screws were harder to get out due to being in different positions than youtube shows. I ended up having to loosen the turn signal/wiper bars so I could access the screws. I also did not have to drill a hole to get out the bar that holds the lock cylinder in place, it just fell out. It is a tiny part so be careful of where it does fall.So now I have different keys to start the car and open the doors/trunk. Not too big of a deal since I saved myself $975 by not going to the dealership.

My original key for my 2007 Honda Civic would no longer go into the ignition(we think a pin might very broken). Therefore, we took the whole thing out to start my car with a screw driver to get it back home, but due to the theft security it wouldn't work. (We managed to glitch the system for it to turn on once and bring it home thank god)All this to say I needed a new ignition with a key that the chip could be placed in and this was perfect. The downside about this is that it took a long time to receive my order about 2-3 weeks. And as it said it should, the chip didn't fit in the box properly, we couldn't close it. But with some help with other reviews, duck tape did the job to hold it together and it worked.

It worked so well at first but broke down in 6 months so i bought it again. It broke down just like the one that was 15 years old original part, but it only took 6 months. Good thing it's really easy to replace and cheap. I ordered a spare one this time. See you in 6 months.
