I need to get a key copied, do I need to take the key to a Dealer or could I just go to walmart to get a copy.

For the prelude yes you do if you want to be able to start and drive the car. If you just want to be able to unlock it, then just go up to honda they will get one for you.

To clarify, I believe what your talking about (The immobilizer) is only on 5th gen Preludes, right?

Correct that is true.

Alright thanks for you help. I just didn't know if the key had a little chip or something special in it. Cause I want to get a remote start installed and I was told I need an extra key to bypass the key ignition.

IIRC, not all bypasses require you to lose a key when installing a remote starter.

I should of said its a 5th gen key, The parts guy at Stephen Vincel Honda informed me that all 5th gen keys have a chip. Was also told by the key guy at Lowes.

^ 5th gen keys have an chip in them you must go to the dealer if you want to start the car. AND DO NOT EVER USE (i think its the red key) THE RED KEY IN THE IGNITION. But for doors you can go to anywhere, pretty much.
