Just bought a Civic Hybrid CVT. I got it used and so I didn't get the advantage of the dealer education, whatever there might have been, and didn't get all the original stuff like a keyless entry remote.

Did they all have keyless entry?
If so, where can I get a remote for mine (didn't come with one so I can't match up any part numbers or FCC codes with ebay auctions or elsewhere)? I would like to find one on ebay or some alternative to paying $70 at the dealer.

Are there regular metal keys available? I know the rubber part has a chip in it, but I HATE the bulky knobby rubber thing on my keys because I have too many keys to sacrifice that much real estate on my ring - I would pull out the chip and glue it to the steering column somewhere and use a regular metal key if such a thing were possible. Anyone tried it?

I'll have many more questions and comments as I get used to this car so thanks in advance for your help. Looking forward to meeting you all. Thanks.
