The 2002–2004 CR-V uses the same key setup, so everything on this page applies to those years too. The full picture is on the Honda CR-V key guide.

2004 Honda CR-V: key facts

Key type: Transponder chip key
Push-to-start: No
Transponder chip: Megamos 13
Programming: OBD
All keys lost: We can originate new keys on site

US cars take the Megamos 13 fixed chip — cloneable HD106-PT5 blanks are cataloged for 2002-2004 CR-V. European catalogs list Megamos Crypto 48 for these years, so an odd key is confirmed by chip read.

Same key system as the 2002–2004 CR-V

Honda kept the CR-V's key system unchanged across 2002–2004, so everything about replacing a 2004 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 CR-V 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.
