The 2013–2017 Accord uses the same key setup, so everything on this page applies to those years too. The full picture is on the Honda Accord key guide.

Same key system as the 2013–2017 Accord

Honda kept the Accord's key system unchanged across 2013–2017, so everything about replacing a 2016 key — blanks, programming, and what happens if every key is lost — matches the rest of that run. The full year-by-year breakdown lives in our Honda Accord key guide.

What drives the price is the key type, whether you still have a working key, and where the car is parked. There's more on Honda programming in general on our Honda key page.
