Kaba Ilco Corp HON-4B Honda 4-button Key Shell

Product Description

The KABA ILCO CORP HON-4B is a complete 4-button remote key shell designed as a direct replacement for Honda and Acura vehicles. This shell houses the key buttons and internal components of the original remote, restoring the physical housing when the OEM casing is cracked, broken, or worn. It does not include the electronics or blade — it is the outer shell assembly only. Locksmiths and automotive key technicians typically install this part when the customer's existing remote internals are functional but the housing has failed. The HON-4B ships in a package quantity of 10 units per pack, weighing 0.4 pounds.

This shell is designed for use on 1997–2002 Honda and Acura vehicles across a wide range of models. It fits applications in both passenger car and light SUV segments, making it a versatile stock item for locksmith shops and automotive service centers that regularly service Honda and Acura remotes. The shell matches the 4-button OEM remote format used across multiple model lines during this production period. Compatible models include the 1997–2002 Honda Accord, Odyssey, Civic, Prelude, Insight, S2000, and Acura 3.5RL, NSX, CL, TL, MDX, Integra, and RSX. Also referenced as Ilco Model AJ00001283.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or automotive key technician. Before disassembling the existing remote, ensure the vehicle is not in an active alarm state and the key is not in the ignition. Transfer the existing circuit board and rubber button pad from the damaged shell into the replacement housing with care to avoid damage to the electronics. Do not force components — improper assembly can crack the new shell or damage the internal board contacts.
