Does Pop and Lock Tailgate Lock PAL8600 Fit 2018 Honda Ridgeline

Question:

I just got a 2018 Ridgeline. The Pop and Lock power tailgate lock for this truck PAL8600 does not seem to have a keyed component, but the video shows a unit that does. Does this have a key or is it power only and therefore no drilling thru the tailgate handle? Thanks.

The Pop and Lock Tailgate Lock part # PAL8600 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Honda Ridgeline and wires into your powered lock function so that when you hit the lock or unlock button on your key fob the tailgate will lock and unlock as well.

There is no key that will work with this. It's only able to function with the power lock and unlock.
