How to program your Honda key and fobs
Make sure you’re inside the car with all doors shut and your key and fobs ready. Follow these steps:
- Insert the original key into the ignition and turn it to the “On” position.
- On the key fob, press and hold the “LOCK” button for one second.
- Release the button and turn the key to the “Off” position. Repeat two more times.
- Turn the key to the “On” position again and hold the “LOCK” button on the key fob for 1 second.
- Wait for the doors to lock and unlock automatically. This means your vehicle is now in remote programming mode.
- Hold the “LOCK” button for 1 second again.
- Your Honda key fob will be programmed once the locks cycle again.
- Repeat the process with any additional fobs.
- Exit remote programming mode by turning the key to the “Off” position in the ignition.
By following these steps, you can easily program your Honda key and fobs for remote use. If you have any questions or issues, consult your Honda manual or contact a certified Honda technician for assistance.
