So you know more about how my car is built than the Honda engineers that designed the system? The key has an electronic chip in it. If it isn't within a very short distance of the ignition, it disables the ignition/ECU. Cutting an identical key without a chip won't start it. Of course a determined thief could shift into neutral and push it...
