I just bought a 2018 Touring, 48 K miles- awesome car. BUt only came with one key fob. Any recommendations for replacement vs going to a dealership ?
Thanks

John,
I had the same problem in January. I ordered a fob from EBAY from a seller called PROGRAMYOURREMOTE. What I didn't know was that the fobs ARE NUMBERED - you can see that on the remote itself. I already had a #2, but when I ordered the fob, I got one that had no number on it. Took it to the Honda dealer and, after a few attempts, they told me that a non-numbered fob would not work.
I sent the fob back to the seller and just went with the Honda dealer. In the meantime, the seller immediately refunded me the entire money and then, in an email, said that he had a #1 in his inventory. Too late.
Anyhow, frankly I'd recommend that you contact that seller on EBAY. If you have two drivers you will definitely want a #1 and a #2 fob. The car automatically adjusts the seat to your fob's preferred setting. I don't know if it does anything else. Of course, if you don't have two drivers, then it doesn't really matter which number fob you have. But DO get a numbered fob.
The fob on EBAY cost me $185 total. There was no charge for the return.
Of course, I don't know about what your Honda dealer would charge. Mine was $150. Massive ripoff for programming.
