The easiest thing would be to get a whole replacement. Take the two screws out, unplug I think two plugs, and replace everything back. But still one key to open the car, another key to turn it on.

Yeah my mom's van has 2 keys. It's not that bad.

I got my column totally raped on my gsr, they actually broke the diecast metal around it and It cost a cool $450 to fix.. It was probably the worst part of the ordeal. :7

If it costs even close to that much I am just going to say ---- it and disable and pull the ECU everytime I leave my car.

I have a spare column lock and switch in my floorboard for an ED. Close, but no cigar, big fish. :-\

Just buy an ignition switch like someone on here said already. Make sure it comes with a key.

Once you install that, remove your door cylinders, trunk cylinder, and other optional cylinders (vallet and rear seat lock), take them to a locksmith, and get them coded to your key. That is the easiest way..

I had to do this when I bought my EX because it had been stolen previously, and I hated the idea of having two keys.

I get the work done for about $8 per cylinder locally, you should be able to have it done pretty cheap as well.

I know a couple locksmiths, but removing the key cylinders sounds like a lot of work. I guess it depends on how lazy I am that day. I'll proly do the locks the weekend after this weekend. I should have everything done by then.

Removing the door panels is the only thing you really have to work with to get the door cylinders out.. They are held in by really small U clips, then all you have to do is remove them from the rod they slide on to.

As far as the trunk, it is as simple as pulling the plastic piece that surrounds the trunk latch, pulling back the carpet, and removing one 10mm bolt, then popping that cylinder off the rod as well. The other two would be the rear deck lock, and if you have one, the vallet lock. Those are both pretty self explanitory as well..

It would probably take 20 mins. max to remove them all.
