The 2014–2022 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.

2020 Honda CR-V: key facts

Key type: Remote-head key
Push-to-start: No
Transponder chip: G (ID47, Hitag 3)
Programming: OBD
All keys lost: We can originate new keys on site

Push-button start stays an EX-and-above feature after the 2020 refresh — KBB's 2020 spec table shows it not available on the LX, which keeps the keyed G-chip ignition (a point buyer guides often get wrong). Hybrids are push-button only.

Same key system as the 2014–2022 CR-V

Honda kept the CR-V's key system unchanged across 2014–2022, so everything about replacing a 2020 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.
