Hi all,

My wife had her purse stolen last night from a restaurant.  Damn thief
took it from right in front of both of us apparently.  Anyways, we've
gone through the headache of cancelling credit cards, but we're not
sure about how to handle her car.  She has a 2005 CRV, and we want to
change the locks, but I suspect it will cost a small fortune.  Does
anyone know the process for getting the immobolizer system
reprogrammed.  As this thief has a fully programmed key, I'm guessing
we have to get the whole system reprogrammed.  Otherwise, I'm hoping
there is a wa to deactivate the key the stolen key and just get a new
one.  Thoughts or ideas are greatly appreciated, and I hope your New
Year's was better than ours.

When you buy a new key and remote, the dealer should be able to give you
instructions to reprogram the computer to recognize all your current keys.

No.

Not keys.

Instructions to recognize all your current remotes, yes.

But the KEYS must contain the proper immobilizer codes so the car will
start; only the dealer, or someone with the proper machine, can copy
immobilizer codes from a working key to a new key.

I would install a new alarm system with a fuel cutoff with a hidden
switch. And The Club wouldn't hurt.

But most importantly, make sure the comprehensive portion of your
insurance is current!
