Exactly. It's not some sort of scam...well...at least not one that Honda engineers didn't think of. The chips sends a message to the computer to let it know that you've got the right key for that car. While it may be easy to open the doors with different keys (the Japanese are a few decades behind the US in key tolerances), be happy your car won't actually start with just any key. My truck is like that. I hate it, but at least it means some dumbshit fuckwad can't just stuck any key in my ignition and make it run.
