Trying to program a spare key - where's the key code on my Honda SH125i Special?

I have a 2011 Honda SH125i Special, will this method work for that year?

Will this work for older Honda SH125i Specials? Mine's a 2009.

This might finally help me unlock my Honda SH125i Special's key code.

Trying this out on my Honda SH125i Special today—hoping it works.
