2How many Keys did everyone get with their bike?
I only got one key and no code. I will call the dealer on Tuesday as they are closed Sunday and Monday.I got two. However, I inquired about the keys from the dealer and if you have the code required to duplicate the key, apparently any dealership can do it for under $25 (an old reference says $10 to replace the key). That code came with my key from the dealership.
That sounds ludicrous. The key is not anything special.Getting extra keys for the 2022 Honda Trail 125 is an ADVENTURE!
No Honda dealers near me (50 NH miles, mind) can duplicate these Honda Trail 125 keys.
Yes. Simplifying it substantially, it typically uses a constantly changing code that can identified by the car as being something it recognizes, but also can possess an antenna designed to not interfere with other keys. In addition to that, it needs to not drain the battery of the key excessively, particularly when the car uses a keyless push-start system. The 3D printing community frequently showcases people remaking their keys after the plastic housing gets damaged/destroyed rather than forking out for a new key.(Did you know some keys on cars today have special electronics inside and cost $400 to replace?)
At one of my first jobs in the late 90's three or four of us shared a Desktop computer running Windows 3.1 on it. At the Password screen if you didn't want to enter a Password you could just hit the ESC key to get past itYep, lots of effort in both directions of improving security and defeating security. I haven't laser cut keys but I used to do some locksmithing and was involved in TOOOL. There's unfortunately no such thing as a perfect lock, they are always just deterrents that can either be compromised or bypassed entirely which is why security works best when it is layered (in InfoSec the concept is Defense in Depth). Security has changed a lot in just a few decades. The original "hackers" at MIT such as Richard Stallman (RMS) advocated for open systems and used an empty string (the return key) for their password... what a nice time of innocence it was to not lock doors!
