Is the alarm and remote key entry attched to the key or a separate key chain item?

The alarm is attached to the key. No seperate key chain.

You mean the remote is integrated into the head of the key?

That is correct. On the black plastic "head" portion of the key, there are three buttons, a lock, unlock and a small "panic" button.
 
The head of the Fit key is about 50% bigger than the key to my 2005 Odyssey EX-L. The alarm/lock buttons for the Ody are on a separate fob, so the key itself just has the black plastic head.

Do not lose the key, they are expensive to replace!

I hate having the integrated remote and key. My Dodge Dakota has the same thing. It makes the key HUGE, and harder to carry with you, when there's the chance it may get wet (think: kayaking).
 
Normally, I would take the key off the ring, and lock the rest of my keyring (house keys, remote, etc.) in the car. The key gets tied into my life jacket, and off I go.
 
I'm going to have to see if I can get just a separate key cut, including whatever ignition-enabling chip in it that's needed, but excluding the remote.

Yeah, I was sort of surprised that Honda didn't include a valet key with the others, although I'm glad to have two remotes. I remember hearing rumors a month ago on this forum that only one remote key was provided (perhaps that's what they did in Canada).
 
I can imagine that you could get a key made for you, but I do know that the ignition-enabling keys are expensive, even if they don't power the locks and alarm.

Thanks! Another question, is there a flashing LED somewhere, when the alarm is armed? On the dash or instrument pod somewhere?

Yeah, I agree having the integrated remote eliminates the option of just using the key. However, one advantage is that the remote doesn't get beat up as much. (With a separate fob remote, the car key by itself will scratch the heck out of the remote in no time at all when they are jingling around in your pocket, or purse).

Yes, this is common with a number of vehicles today, including Daimler-Chrysler vehicles. Since the keyless remote "is in the key," so to speak, don't lose it, as you will be shocked by the replacement cost.
