Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator
(Supersedes 99-053, dated October 5, 1999)
Updated information is shown by asterisks and black bars.

The Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator (P/N ILC-RW2H), manufactured by Silca and supplied by Ilco Unican Corporation, is a portable, lightweight tool that reads the transponder code from a working ignition key and duplicates that code into an Ilco programmable key. The Ilco Immobilizer key Code Duplicator has these features:
^ You need only one working ignition key for duplication.
^ Customer convenience: you do not need the customer's vehicle or all the working ignition keys (master and valet).
^ Transponder code duplication takes only seconds after cutting the key blank with a suitable code key cutter.
^ You can make as many duplicate ignition keys as you need.
^ The tool is secured by an assigned password.
^ A rechargeable, internal battery gives you portability and more than 4 hours of operating time.
^ The tool comes with a manufacturer's limited 5-year warranty.
ADDING AND REPLACING IGNITION KEYS
* With a working ignition key from your customer, you can make additional keys or replacements for lost keys with the Ilco key Code Duplicator and Ilco programmable key blanks. Cut the key blank with a suitable code key cutter (see Service Bulletin 88-012, Cutting Keys With the Exacta Code Key Cutter, tiled under Special Tools), then follow the key code duplicator's instruction manual to code the key's transponder with the working ignition key's code.
The transponders in Ilco programmable key blanks come with no stored transponder codes. You must store a code in the transponder with the key code duplicator before you can use the key with the vehicle.
PARTS INFORMATION

The key code duplicator works only with Ilco programmable key blanks. These key blanks are identical to Genuine Honda key blanks, except for "T5" stamped on the shank. *
