for those thinking of doing this...
the immobilizer chip imbedded in the key is entirely independent of the remote door lock/unlock.
so, 2 things to check/work out. the posters in this thread were successful, but, unless you know you have the identical setup, make sure you check both aspects of this conversion before going ahead.
maybe that's obvious to some, just wanted to make sure it's obvious to all.

you can use the chip from any key that currently works to start your vehicle.

in the post cited, the author describes the purchase of 2 additional cloned keys before taking them apart to put a chip into a ridgeline key that was also purchased. at least that's what i read.
