X184/B65 is sold under a few additional names, depending on the manufacturer – Curtis B-70, ESP B65, Ilco X184, Ilco EZ B65, Jet B65, JMA GM-5, Orion GM9, Silca GM19, Strattec 321836, Taylor X184. However, X184/B65 is the most common one.
Generally speaking, you have three options:
This X184/B65 is a non-transponder key and therefore no programming or coding is needed. In addition, if you have the key security code (and if you don’t you can sometimes get it from a dealer), you can take it to a local locksmith and they should be able to cut you a key on site.
We checked the average price for this key with dealers, automotive locksmiths and online. Needless to say, the price varies and depends on where you get it, the time of day, and your location (mobile locksmith service or dealer).
The prices mentioned below are only rough estimates.
If the dealer has the security code on file – it should cost no more than $30. However, dealers don’t usually keep records of key codes for cars that are more than 10 years-old.
On site, mobile service – typically around $40 for the service call out plus about $50 for labor and the key itself.
Locksmith shop (where the locksmith has the key code on file): About $50.
(Uncut): About $5.
Yes. As X184/B65 is a non-transponder key, you can make copies at any hardware store or locksmith.
We recommend making extra copies and keeping the key code in a safe place in case you lose your car keys in the future.
First, make sure you have the exact year, make and model, e.g. 2004 Isuzu NRR.
In addition, write down the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) of the car which you can find on the left side of the dashboard near the side mirror. The VIN will help the locksmith or dealer verify the year, make and model of the car.
It’s important to ask if you can come and pick up the key, or if the car has to be present. When key codes are not available (as happens with older models), an onsite service may be required to make a new key.
You can, of course, tow the car to the locksmith shop, but that would be more expensive.
Finally, make sure you can show ownership of the car by having the necessary documents – the title, ID, insurance card, etc.
