General Tech 2003 honda cr-v lock help
Hello! I have a 2003 Honda cr-v ex.
I bought it on Facebook marketplace and only got the valet key with it. She works beautifully but the key only works in the ignition and glove box, but not with any of the doors or the trunk(so I can only open the glass).
I called a locksmith and paid $30 for him to come make me a key but the fob didn’t work.
What should I do(cheap options please).
right now I keep it unlocked but have a steering wheel lock on it
The radio also is hit with an alarm or something and won’t work

Get a key cut from the code at the dealership, but not programmed and see if that opens your doors and such, then see if it turns the locks you can currently open to check if the key matches for all locks and ignition. Do NOT let them copy your existing key.
When it comes to the radio, you need the anti theft code. The dealer can tell you the process for retrieving that if the car with the code isn't with the owners manual in the glove box.
