Actually no.  

Using a key without a chip to open a door has no effect on the security system of a Honda. The chip is an ignition issue only. The key must be near the steering column for the sensor to read the RFID chip and allow the ignition to work.

I have a chipped key hidden inside my car. I have a non chipped key hidden outside my car.  If someone finds the outside key they can open the door but not start the car. My key inside the car is far enough away from the ignition that the sensor cannot see it. 

When I open the door with the non chipped key the alarm does not go off. It is deactivated by a switch in the lock. Not by a chip in the key.

There are different systems, depending on the age of the vehicle. Since we don't know the OPs car's age or reason, I couldn't say definitively. As I did say, I am not talking about keys with near field sensors, which is what you are referencing.

The OP wants a door key only. Does not want a chip key. Any locksmith with a good supply of auto keys can cut one that will work on the door,. No chip is needed in a door key. There is no sensor near the door lock on a Honda.  

We shall see. The reason for the chip is security. Making a key without a chip alerts the security and prevents ignition. It is not a near-field issue.

I believe all "lock" keys these days must have a chip. It's part of the anti-theft security. To prevent someone unlocking the car "illegally", which would prevent the engine from turning over when ignition is attempted.

Good point.

The poorly named Dusty Chicken in Riberas is still "functioning". They now have a door and a banner beside the auto shop, next to the Oxxo in Riberas. I say "functioning" because you never know when they will actually be open.

My first one was 3.5 hours. My second one was 2 hours. Both at Parque Cristiania. I think that's pretty good.

Aha. You may be some people, but most are not.

Most people don't actually know that.

He went back to PV. Two years later someone reported here that he had opened another place that failed. He did not lose the business due to IVA. It was, they say, due to all kinds of other taxes, especially employee issues.

Back home all calls "tumble" to the next extension on numbers like that.  Calling them individually makes no difference, generally.

I think she means it can't do cell to landline.

Agreed, however their menu as they have described it seems underwhelming for 1K pesos.  At that price I expect a far more interesting, cutting edge menu.  

No argument here. I note that there are several highly-priced restaurants here, and there are a large number of retired expats with a lot of money, who don't really care how much a meal costs, except in a reverse manner: the pricier it is, the better it must be. They always manage to keep places like 4 alive, for a while.

Since no one on this thread has actually seen the dishes and can report on the experience, we're just guessing. I await a report from someone who's been there and seen that.

Of course. Simply wondering, based on what I know of this type of menu.

Tabarka still offers their tasting menus AFAIK.  The prices shown below are from Dec. 2019; will look at current menu to confirm/change next visit.  

6 piece tapas 120p; 12 piece for 210p.  A far cry from the 1000p being offered at Bistro 12. 

Tabarka remains in our top 5 for quality, price, service.  

Oh, I did not know that. Haven't been really, since the owner handed over the reins. Thanks for the info.

Note that the serving time has been changed to 6 p.m.   I think that's a good idea.

However, that fixed price menu of 1000 pesos means that one is paying approximately 166 pesos for each of 6 courses.  Since there are a number of restaurants serving good meals in pleasant, sit down, settings for around the price of one of those courses, I don't predict success for this new restaurant unless there are some changes made in that area.  Possibly an a la carte choice for smaller appetites would be a good option. I,for one, couldn't down six courses of any size, and I rarely have dessert.

I do appreciate excellent food preparation and would like to have the option of having it on special occasions, so I'd like to hear some reviews from people who have been to this new place.

I am curious, too. Their first menu definitely appears to be a tasting (or degustation) menu selection. Their second menu looks simply like a multi-course meal. In any case, I don't think you'd have trouble downing a real tasting menu, which is more like a selection of small tapas. Do you recall when Tabarka offered a tasting menu of different fish and tapas? It was great: a goodly number of small samples of lovingly cooked varieties.

Hoolia: it would benefit everyone if you posted all information each time you start a different thread. Menu, time, price, location, contact information, etc. Not all members read all posts on a regular basis, and some will have no idea you made earlier posts.

The link is actually in this very thread.

It definitely will cost. I don't think it will be cheap, unless the government puts a cap on pricing, and I don't think that will happen.

Amazon.com.mx has them. I wouldn't know about locally. What is special about them?

CanSino is designed to be similar to Johnson and Johnson's  vaccine makeup, which  also requires only one shot.

Do not know that much CanSino, whether or not it has had any of J&J's problems for women from 18-50.  

IT would have been much easier for administration and patients if we had had access to one shot regimen here in Ajijic and Chapala.

Those who who drove into Guad or elsewhere to successfully get the Pfizer vaccine were very fortunate.  I hope the boosters next year are available in the private medical sector, who can manage things much more easily than the Federal Government here.

Not really designed to be similar, but uses the same "viral vector" technology.

I recommend everyone make sure their paperwork is in order long before this happens.

In other words you are saying China is playing with fire--HA--sounds like a Mexican standoff--remember the cola wars ?  --well Pepsi blinked  HA---by the way I don't  drink Pepsi--it's nasty--Coke uses Mexican cane sugar--that's the difference--

Not any more.

Most people don't, but obviously some do. My neighbor did- he had his wallet in his pocket and it must have fallen out when he was on his motorbike just taking a quick trip to the OXO.

And I almost did, as my wallet was stolen. I was just extremely lucky that a woman called me who had seen my cards strewn all over the edge of the Walmart parking lot. Actually her young son spotted the wallet. She said she first told him to leave it, then saw my driver's license, PR card, etc, strewn around and knew it would be a drag for me to lose all those. The thieves took my bank cards and the little cash I had in there and then tossed the wallet and the rest of the cards.

Sure. People lose things all the time: car keys. Prescription notes. Receipts. Sunglasses.

It's easier to replace your INM card than it is to replace your credit card: we have a local INM office for that, but my credit cards come from NOB and can take forever to get here (yes, immediately get on your computer and report the loss). I don't acrry them with me unless I know I am going to make a purchase. But I always have my Permanente.

Really, how often have any one of us actually lost our immigration card?
