Identifying correct FCC ID# for remote unlock key?

Hi,
I'm new to this forum. I'm a long term Fit EV driver, and recently picked up a 2010 Fit Base. I've read that the base Fit comes with remote receiver standard, and all I need to do to enable remote door locks is to buy and program the remote key fob. For my EV, I was able to replace the key by finding one with a matching FCC ID on the back, and having it cut/programmed.
For my new Base, I don't have a key to look up the FCC ID. When I looked online for a key, I saw keys with at least 3 different ID which were advertised as being compatible, but I suspect only one will work.
The local dealers do not seem to be able to tell which one will work; they want me to bring the car in and have them do it ($$$). Is there a way I can look up the correct FCC ID online?
Thanks!

I found two part numbers which seem to come up the most frequently:
35111-SWA-306
35118-TP6-A20

35111-SWA-306 appears to be a four button remote. It has a panic, lock, unlock, and trunk buttons. The FCC ID on it is N5F-S0084A

35118-TP6-A20 appears to be a three button remote. It has panic, lock, unlock, but NO trunk button. The FCC ID on it is MLBHLIK-1T

Would the folks who do have a 2010 Fit with remote keys mind identifying which type of key they have (3 or 4 button), what the FCC ID # on the back of the key says, and if they have a Base or Sport?

Thanks!

2011 Sport - 3 button:
FCC ID MLBHLIK-1T
IC 2500A-HLIK1T
MODEL NO HLIK-1T

Kind of worn a little so I hope it is right

Hey, thanks for the confirmation. I took a chance earlier this week, and order a couple of them from ebay; I guessed on the MLB i.d. code. For $18, it was worth a shot. I was lucky it was correct.
FWIW, I don't think the lock/unlock portion even needs to prgrammed. The locksmith confirmed the remote portion by sticky my original key into the ignition, and then operating the locks using the new remote. He didn't need to do anything else to get it to work. He then cut the keys, and programed the car to accept the new keys (to be able to start the car), and the remotes just worked.
From this, I wonder that if I'm sitting in the car with the key in the ignition, whether someone else walking by could lock/unlock my doors?

Have the same issue. When I purchased the car from the aucion house it comes with only 1 one key and no remote. I went to a locksmith in Korean town and he managed to get the remote work, cut the key and key can open the door and ignition butbcar wont start. Any one can recommend a locksmith who can get me a key with remote cut and programmed? I'm in Southern California area.

From what I saw, the remote lock/unlock can be programmed with just a working key (and various combinations of turning the ignition). However, the transponder won't work (you'll see a blinking green "key" light) on the dash. To program the transponder, he hooked up something to the OBD port and had to program the car. It took him under 5 mins to reprogram all four keys to the car. If you're getting spare keys made, have several made as the guy didn't charge extra for programming more keys at the same time.
What you might consider, depending on your neighborhood, is to epoxy a working key near your ignition. Then any properly cut key can start the ignition without programming. I'm going out on a limb and assuming the Fit is not a highly targeted car for theft....

Yeah the locksmith did hooked up his machine at obd 2 to program the key but it got stuck and never go any further. I'm not sure to epoxy the only working key near the ignition just because it seems like a bad idea.
