woke up went to capitol honda. 1st part department then bounce to service then back to part department.
the part guy quote $60 to cut and $60 to program. then i told him other places have charge lil as $10-15. so he agree to cut it. and suprisingly he offer to cut it for free. he start telling me how his friend have it for a ridgeliner.
cut it in 15 mins. tested work for everything. felt good so i tip him $10
now off to acura of stevens creek. no good, claim can't program it have to use honda's equipment.
