labwork Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder Steering Replacement for Honda Civic Auto Trans 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011

My 2008 Honda Civic DX ignition key tubler was "sticking" really bad. I decided to buy this replacement tumbler lots of people said it would not work blah blah.. I called the local Honda dealer they said 700$ for the parts plus in$tall plu$$ programing ... my civic has 280k mi... its not even worth 700$ but it still runs. I was looking for something cheap. It took like 10 mins to install then the car would start with the new key and tumbler then it would immediatly shut off! It was because of the chip inside the key had to be reprogrammed... well.. I took the little chip fron the old key and swapped it into the new key.. BAM! No programming needed... new problem ... the new key didnt have a hole for the panic button ...my dremmel tool took care of that..... so my auto locks work wth the key fob but for the actual door locks I have to use my old key because this kit didnt come with replacement locks. Which i dont really care. Too much work .. i just use the old keey for the trunk and doors... in case my battery dies. But the clicker runs the doors so im good! Thank you!

Worked great! Would probably recommend getting the one with door locks even if it is $20 more. Will spend that getting new fobs for your original keys to be door keys.

Great easy install thank you

I wouldn't say this is an easy install, but it's definitely worth it. 2008 Honda Civic LX 4DR/Auto. Key wouldn't turn in the old ignition switch, gear selector was locked in park. Watched several YouTube videos on this, which was of big help. However, no one mentioned that there's a module that is connected to the white electrical plug needs to be taken off the old ignition switch and reused on this new one (See photos). At first I was thinking that I bought the wrong part, but gladly it worked out. Save the screws and reuse when installing this module onto the new unit. Took a sharp flat edge screwdriver and smacked it at an angle with a hammer to loosen and unscrew the 2 top security bolts. A long needle nose plier helped to unscrew it once loose. Used a small (3/4 inch) Phillip's screw bit locked onto a small vise grip pliers to get at the 2 really tight Phillip screws up against the steering wheel to remove old switch unit. Once everything was replaced & installed, snug but not fully tightened, I then took out electronic guts of the old ignition key remote and put it into the new remote keys supplied (Keep your old remote key, there's a code on the remote it that may be helpful later if you loose the new keys). Put the new key (with the old original remote electronic guts inside) in the ignition switch, dash panel lit up, car started and went into gear as it should. Tightened the rest of the hardware and reinstalled the panels and it was good to go. Zero instructions in the package. Package contained just 1 new ignition switch unit, 2 new door remote ignition keys (already keyed alike to new ignition switch), 2 break away 8mm bolts and column bracket. No locksmith needed, no other parts needed or purchased. Saved over $500 by not taking this to the Honda dealer. Now that's something to cheer about, God bless.

Arrived on time, fit perfectly

Fit well key does have to be reprogrammed with a separate devise 2006 Honda civic.

I’m not very good with mechanic work but this ended up saving me so much money. Locksmith quoted me $450 and the dealership I’ve $1000. Like one of the people in the reviews said, it’s not an easy fix but it’s also not impossible. Look at some of the reviews that people made there’s a lot of good tips and watch videos. I think the hardest part is figuring out how to take the security bolts off. Took me about a good hour or two to figure out but I did it. I was also able to take the guys from the remote key and put it in the new on. For the second key I looked up a video on how to gut the extra because it wasn’t a remote key. Took the little transponder out and on the second key took out the button guts and just out the transponder in. So was able to use the new keys for the new ignition and just kept my old ones for doors and trunk!!!!

It worked.

Muy buen artículo le quedó a mi auto como esperaba lo recomiendo.

Part works great and is not very difficult to do. I got quoted $1200 by Honda to replace this (which is absurdly high) and was able to fix it myself. I installed mine in a 2008 Honda civic, lots of great how to videos on YouTube. The hardest part for me was getting the security bolts out because it's winter and I couldn't get them to spin so ended up drilling one of them out. Transferring the old parts to the new parts on the unit as well as in the keys was very straightforward. I didn't have to get the keys programmed, I just took the guts of the old one and put them in the replacement key. Definitely glad I chose to do this myself!

Satisfecho en todos los aspectos

5 stars as it fixed my problem but I should mention the car wouldn’t start when replacing the whole assembly My problem was that the tumbler stopped working Local parts place wanted 800$ for a new assembly (maybe as it’s discontinued so they didn’t know if they could get it or not) Lock smith wanted $600 to rebuild tumbler Bought this look it apart put tumbler in got a key cut that allowed me to put the existing chip in and done problem solved.

Took a fair amount of time to show up, but in the end I was satisfied with the product I had received. Installed it within 30-45mins, 2 shear bolts and 3 screws, it was fairly straightforward. Once installed, she cranked over right away! Just make sure to swap out the immobilizer! And use your original Honda key with the chip in it, or program the new keys you receive with the new ignition cylinder. Honda can program them, or if you have a scan tool with the Honda software installed you should be able to program them yourself!
