Hey Man FYI. My house was broken into..They took my keys also bike and car and I got both rekeyd think I paid like $600 for both.. Let me just tell you that the bike key is very.... Not so OEM to turn on. And the car key, it works fine now that it's broken in, but theres like glue residue and crap all over one of my doors.. And I got a reputable locksmith took a LONG time for job to be finished... I would recomend to sit out there with him while he does it make sure he doesn't get irriated and **** some **** up.

Sorry to hear- that's quite unfortunate. Change your locks, get new locks & key.

Yes it does. It turns the ignition too and cranks it just doesn't start just turns over.

It sounds like there is an issue with the transponder end of it. There are 2 ways to make transponder keys.
Some can be cloned while others can't. Then others can be programmed into the system. I don't do a lot of car work so I can't tell you the specifics on our Evos.
If the locksmith did the work I am sure he would have made it work for you if it was possible.
