This still works. I just got it done at Honda, today December 21 of 2023, on my base model 2020 Accord. I'm beyond happy that I don't have to go outside to start my car in the winter anymore. I also get all my service work done at Honda as well.
@@juanelizondo2741 get it either from Honda or buy a Honda remote off of ebay. I bought mine from my Honda dealer, otherwise that dealer wouldn't program it for me.
Read the following very carefully. Frequently asked questions, like pricing below. If you find this Video of value, Share it out to your friends who have 2018 or 2019 Accord sports and give this video a like! thanks! DOES NOT WORK ON MANUAL TRANSMISSION!!! Pricing: about $60 for the keyfob/ $70 to get it programmed. 72147tvaa01 is the part# for the fob Will this work on lx models: I don’t know yet, but I just need someone willing to try with $60! I’ll pay for programming if you come to my store! Only if you have an LX! Will this work on a manual? No Will this work on any 2017 accord or crv or civic with a regular key? No This video is solely intended to let future and current 1.5t sport accord owners know this is a potential option other than going with the EX and above or going for an aftermarket option.
I actually did this myself and here’s the best method. I ordered the key fob from an online oem dealer, i don’t recommend getting it programmed by a Honda dealership I live in southern Cali and the prices are outrageous they range from $145-240 depending on the dealership. The best option is getting a mobile locksmith and they will program it for 1/3 of the price.
Thank you so very much for this!!! I am looking at a 2018 Honda Accord Sport and the deal breaker was no remote start! Because I mistakenly thought it came standard, I went online to search to find out and "stubbled" upon your video! The quotes because I know it is divine intervention! So excited! Now I have to find the remote and a dealership that is willing to program it for me!
Nice did you do it at the dealership and does it matter what kind of fob you use like did it have to be from another 2022 Honda accord with remote start
I had my remote start key fob purchased Hondapartsnow {$60.00} programmed today at my local dealer Southeastern Honda Melbourne, Fl {$43.00} I was told they could not guarantee it would work, but they programmed it , tested it and confirmed it as working!
As long as you have an Accord sport 1.5 litre you can buy a key fob from an Accord EX or an EX-L and have it programmed by service and the remote start should work. Honda hasn't released any information as to why it works but we theorize they used the same engine computer across the 3 trims, but didn't announce the remote start feature on the sport.
IT WORKS! I just had my 2018 Accord Sport with 2700 miles programmed to a driver 1 EXL key fob this morning! I am so thrilled this worked, after many phone calls and lots of convincing I finally got the dealer to perform the work. All said and done with it was $179 out the door in Lex, KY. Thank you all so much for sharing this, and to those hesitant to try it, go for it and don't take NO for an answer from your dealer. Best Wishes!
I bought a key fob from the original video. It’s now $99. I called several Honda Dealers in NYC how much it’ll cost just to program a key fob and everywhere said $130 and up! I also asked them how much a key fob is and they also said $130 and up! So a total of $260 and up for everything! So I got in contact with legit locksmith and he charged me $60 to program the key fob! And it works!! Thank you all!
noelesp20 same here bro, they tried charging me 130 just to program. I called somewhere else and they said 80 so i’m gonna drive 30 mins to get it done tomorrow!
Have a 2018 sport 1.5, ordered my key fob online and arrived yesterday. I’m at the dealership now, service rep was insistent it would not work. I showed him the portion of the video of the tech programming the key and was amazed. Told me if it didn’t work I’d still have to pay. Got my fingers crossed!
Just left the dealership, I’m very happy to report that it worked! Even the service rep was amazed that it worked. He said it took several programming attempts but it’s definitely working. Thumbs up for sure!
Just got this done today. Got the fob online for about $90 and it was $25 to get it programmed at my local dealer. They even gave my car a free wash and inspection. :) Thanks to you and Honda Jon for helping get this out there!
Erik Becker that’s so great! Thanks for coming back to let me know! So happy to help you get more out of your wife’s accord! Don’t forget to drop a “like” and share this with any accord lx or sport owner you know would enjoy having remote start!
Did my 1.5l sport over the weekend at Honda Westport in Connecticut. I got all the funny looks when I explained what I was trying to do. Entire service department was in shock when they saw it worked. lol. Thanks for the tip.
Jonathan Rodriguez you’re very welcome! Glad it went smooth for you! Please pay it forward by sharing this out to other Accord sport or LX owners you may know!
Went today and bought a 2018 LX, ordered the key fob prior to the deal for $65 and made the dealership program the key as part of the deal! They were reluctant and said it wouldn’t work, I said do it! It worked! Got an automatic starter for $65!!! Thanks Honda Man!
For sure! Thanks for letting us all know! I’m always stoked to hear about people who’ve been helped by this channel! Please share this video out to pay it forward!
I currently have a 18 accord sedan lx and I just bought a new key fob with remote start ($80) and had it programmed at my local dealer ($67). I can confirm that this works. I now have three fobs two that came with the car and a remote start fob.
Hi, I write to you from Puerto Rico, and it works after much eceptisimism, they believed me and they did it. Thanks for the video. the key was 59 and 47 to program. With tax around 105. Its worth it.
as a Canadian Honda certified technician myself, its weird to see the 2018 accord not have smart entry as all of our push button start vehicles are equipped with it (including fit and hrv) as well as all of the the vehicles with the smart fobs come factory with remote starters. just weird to me that there are such differences between the two markets.
Yeah, it's a package you need to order to have it incl. Nothing nowadays comes alone anymore. This particular thing must have slipped out and someone didn't pay attention enough.
I just got a 2018 Honda accord LX you’re saying if I purchase the key and take it to a lock smith to program it, it should work without adding anything to the car?
Honda refused to sell me an EX or EX-L key fob for my 2018 Accord LX. I went to a locksmith today, purchased the key fob , he programmed it and the remote start worked. Thanks for the info man!
This is a great video! Hopefully corporate is okay with this. You should do more videos like this, just like College Hills Honda and their install/hack videos.
You’re welcome! Glad this helped you get more out of your accord! Please pay it forward by dropping a like and sharing this video out so all Accord owners will know!
“We’re gonna hack it” lol! When I get my Honda Accord sport 1.5 next year I’m gonna ask if they will include a remote start key fob and program it for free when I negotiate on the price.
slickpanther06 I asked them to include remote start when I purchased mine and they told me there is no factory remote starter available. I wish I knew this when I got mine and would have made them do it
Hey I have to say thank you for this post. I have been back to my dealership numerous times to get a aftermarket remote start and I’m being told it isn’t a compatible unit for the car. So now I have sent this video to the salesman that I made my purchase through. Please believe I’m going to the dealership first thing in the morning. Once again thank you!!!
@@bigmacsandsunsets it is. I tried to modify my Honda as soon as I got it out the dealership(ran my ideas with sales rep) and he said. Basically the only thing you can do to not void your warranty is get rims. No updating lights, no exhaust... I was like WTF, they want you to buy the most expensive model.
@@geokiller789 true, but the thing is, the minute you get your vehicle serviced by dealership(as i do always) oil change. They do a 100 point inspection and the minute they see that something "is not stock" they stop inspection and let you know. From something as simple/small as led indoor lights.
Hey everyone! Just wanted to confirm that this DOES WORK. I bought the key from Hondaparts for $60.00. I scheduled an appointment with my local Honda dealer and crossed my fingers they wouldn't ask any questions about the fob. Long story short, no questions were asked, they charged $60 to program it, and it worked! Also, for anyone wondering, your old fobs will still work. The service guy was walking out with me to make sure both fobs worked. As we are walking up to the car I attempted the remote start, it worked, and I thanked him for putting remote start in my car. His mind was blown to say the least. As I'm driving away he marched in surely telling his team what just happened. Thanks for this amazing video!
Just saw this video last night and happened to have an oil change scheduled today for my 1.5L sport. Anyway, the honda tech already knew about this and I paid 85 for the new key fob and 100 to program it. Works just like my EXL factory remote start. Not bad for $185.00
@@N44876 I think most cars today come with keyless Entry. when I say keyless entry I mean you can lock and unlock car from the key fob. it doesent have smart entry like some of the higher models where there are sensors on the door handle that unlock the doors automatically without using the key fob
I just got mine done. I have 2019 Honda Accord 1.5 sport it bright red and the hack works! I got it done at Honda of Fort Worth. And the manager confirmed that it works before they started
That's cool man. I had remote start on my Civic Touring and I honestly never used it. And I live in Canada. Kinda pointless if the heated seats don't come on, especially with those ice-cold leather seats. So I got myself an LX and the cloth seats are never cold...or at least not as cold as the Touring's leather seats. Sometimes common sense is a better life-hack than spending extra money for features that look nice on paper but are useless in actuality.
I just had Honda in Tarrytown NY do mine while I was getting an oil change. I have a 2018 Sport and it works. Everyone there was super shocked. Thank you for this tip! Super happy to have remote start now.
I’ve been a honda salesman here in Utah for 1 1/2 years and I’ve owned my silver accord sport since December 2017. I’m completely shocked. Walking over to parts to buy the key right now.
I can confirm this works! My service tech was very avid on me not doing it he was like “your car doesn’t have a remote start transmitter it makes no sense just to add a button you’re wasting your money” My whole dealership couldn’t believe it lol
Can you ask someone at your dealership if this has a possibility to void your warranty on your car? I really want to do the same but I need to make sure it does not void my warranty.
Did it today and can confirm that it works perfect. Thank you for saving me time and money! I missed this feature from trading in my old civic coupe touring.
Good thing it worked out. I have the 2.0t and I only use it when it gets below 60°. California has cold weather too, just the other night it got down to 47 and the inside was cold AF. I can see people using this all around the Country, especially where I'm from, Chicago.
I think we can agree, over the long run, if there’s something beneficial to customers to get more out of their products, it builds trust and goodwill. Building value is sometimes more valuable in business over quick dollars
They can sell more key fob tho, and also can charge you 0.5-1hr work time. I think they make roughlt the same by selling you a $2500 more expensive car. On top of that some potential Camry/Altima buyers might buy a Accord instead for this hidden feature.
Most car sales are impulsive. The people that’s will benefit from this is the hand full of Car people or people who do research on they next buy. This would hurt business
Im from new york and i work for honda as well and a few months back picked my self up a beautiful 1.5T sport. When i saw this video i was like theres no way but you proved me wrong and this is amazing. Im definitely going to do this when i go back to work!
I just got it done! 22 honda accord 1.5 sport. I ordered the key fob off of Amazon for $35. I don't know if it matters but someone said open my fob and get match that serial number or model number with the new one that you are about to order so I did! Find a locksmith in Montgomery Alabama to program it. $75 for program and key cut. And it worked like a charm! Yes guys, it's the real deal. Just hit lock and then hold down the remote button and it starts. Today is January 15th MLK holiday 2024❤❤
I did mine today here in Minneapolis MN and it works price ranges from 170 to 260 so you have to shop around i went hopkins honda dealer got key fob around 90 dollars and went brookdale honda dealer to program about 65 dollars total 155 Thanks in a million
You’re welcome a million! ;) great tips! Pay it forward and drop a like and share this with any sport or LX owner you may know! I’m Sure they’ll appreciate it just as much as you.
Glad you found this video helpful and exciting. Do me a favor and drop a like and Pay it forward by sharing this with anyone you know with a new Accord Sport so they also get the most out of it!
@@EdwardYourHondaManTomilloso Another question and something try. Will the upgrade now give the Honda link app access to use remote start? Does it show up in the app as an option to use?
@@dgillsco no it won't app was not designed to work with the sport model there is APK files missing on the sport model entertainment system now with that being said if you were extremely handy in Android hacking you could technically extract the APK file from a ex model and then add it to a sport which is not easy to do considering they are locked down with locked bootloaders so it's not a simple task at all but technically and theoretically that would work
Awesome video! 😃 I made an appointment to have this done for my 2018 Honda Accord Sport 1.5T. I had to call several Honda Dealerships, 2 dealers said it can’t be done, but I found one that said they could do it with no problem.
Yes! Keep us updated on if it works for you! Pay it forward by a like on this video and share it out to your friends with Accord sports! And lx models too!
@@MAXED-TRUCKING I know, I meant the key works to remote start the 1.5 sport. However i do not think the proximity sensor in the key will work on the 1.5 sport.
I went to my dealership and they told me that they would program the remote but it would void the warranty on the car. Anyone else having this problem or is it just the dealership I went to.
Just buy an ex key fob at the parts then go into the service department and say can you program this. If he says the new key looks different say, the parts guy said it dont matter
That is total BS! The only thing that would void the warranty are doing upgrades that affects the engine, drive train transmission, etc. This is just freaking programming a new key with OEM fobs, something this car is designed to do when one loses the key or wanted an set of keys. Go for it!
MoNo K I ordered my oem remote keys off of eBay that comes with the remote start option so the only thing they have to do is program it so will see what happens
MoNo K I think my Honda deal-ship is gonna bs so I found a locksmith who can do it for $40 a key also I ordered mine on the Hondapartsguys.com they the cheapest ones for the oem
Thank you for giving the advice. Today I went to Honda and they did without asking anything with price 125$ all went smooth and am happy to have remote start
Works for Hybrid the key also! The Android head unit screen is also an actual android tablet that has an open source SDK, so you can add RUclips, Netflix and Googel browser, etc....There is also a hack to make the Led front and back running lights go sequential (Knight Rider or Psylon Style) for turn signal use. Super sick!
As far as my knowledge you are correct on the head unit being an Android tablet basically which can be cracked and hacked problem being is bootloader locked and as far as I know it has not been done yet older model Hondas have had their android-based head unit cracked but not the 2018 or 19 Accord yet I could be wrong on this but I'm pretty sure and things like RUclips Netflix and Google browser cannot be loaded in until after the bootloader has been unlocked and just FYI for anyone thinking about digging into this without any knowledge you can seriously screw up your system if you don't do it correctly so don't attempt unless you have an expert to level in bootloader unlocking and rooting
I took my honda accord sport to the dealership to program the new remote and it works great I paid $85 for the remote and $75 to get it programmed and it works, thanks guys! I can also rolled down the windows by pressing the unlocked button for a few seconds its and awsome feture.
For sure! Thanks for the compliment. Glad this video helped. Do me a favor and drop a like and pay it forward by sharing this out to other Accord sport owners!
it's hilarious to see Honda employees get all excited. Our local locksmith was selling OEM fobs for 40.00 ,and 30 bucks to program back in 2018. It's common knowledge that software is built into mostly all cars..
From one car enthusiast to another aka the hondaman, I am already excited about the hack you two are planning. Funny to see the excitement as you two try to get this ginger
Worked!! I got the remote start on my 1.5T Honda Accord sport 2018 The dealer told me there won't be any warranty on remote start feature. And I'm completely ok with it. Ty Honda man🤟🏼
I just ordered the part. My Honda dealer here in Texas kept insisting that it was not available for my vehicle. They are trying not to do it but I ordered it online and will take it to them when I receive it. I am not taking no for an answer. I will get this done. Its been cold here lately and this will help me tremendously. Will update when completed.
I’m sure there will be dealership haters, those that refuse to understand the request or refuse to program the new key fob. I’ll drive down to SoCal from NorCal to have it done at your dealership.
hey I just want to confirm that works on the sport , because i did it today, I was nervous that maybe the people in the dealership won't like to do it , but they helped me amazing great friends
Wow. Know what I’ll be doing this week. I bet you could add the door handles and maybe whatever sensors needed to get proximity remote. Great video thanks
Omg I just bought a 1.5L Sport last wkend, I’ll definitely buy an extra keyfob for the EX and let my local dealership program it before the month ends.
I gotta get this!! I have a beautiful 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 but really wanted that remote start that the 2.0 have. Now I gotta find someone to program it here in Jax, Fl
This still works. I just got it done at Honda, today December 21 of 2023, on my base model 2020 Accord. I'm beyond happy that I don't have to go outside to start my car in the winter anymore. I also get all my service work done at Honda as well.

Only need a scan tool, that most repair shops have, and use the "add a key" function. It works perfectly. No need for the dealer or a lock smith.

So now I have sent this video to the salesman that I made my purchase through. Please believe I’m going to the dealership first thing in the morning. Once again thank you!!!
I'm afraid the dealership won't want to do it !!! but I really want remote start
Yup, they will probably say something like, IT WILL VOID YOUR VEHICLES WARRANTY!🤔
DANIEL ALEXANDER that’s annoying
@@bigmacsandsunsets it is. I tried to modify my Honda as soon as I got it out the dealership(ran my ideas with sales rep) and he said. Basically the only thing you can do to not void your warranty is get rims. No updating lights, no exhaust... I was like WTF, they want you to buy the most expensive model.
@@MER1CA_1st mods only void the warranty if the part is determined to be the cause of the failure of something esle
@@geokiller789 true, but the thing is, the minute you get your vehicle serviced by dealership(as i do always) oil change. They do a 100 point inspection and the minute they see that something "is not stock" they stop inspection and let you know. From something as simple/small as led indoor lights.
Hey everyone! Just wanted to confirm that this DOES WORK. I bought the key from Hondaparts for $60.00. I scheduled an appointment with my local Honda dealer and crossed my fingers they wouldn't ask any questions about the fob. Long story short, no questions were asked, they charged $60 to program it, and it worked!
Also, for anyone wondering, your old fobs will still work. The service guy was walking out with me to make sure both fobs worked. As we are walking up to the car I attempted the remote start, it worked, and I thanked him for putting remote start in my car. His mind was blown to say the least. As I'm driving away he marched in surely telling his team what just happened. Thanks for this amazing video!
Hands down entertaining video and definitely will tell people about this ! I felt the same nervousness you guys felt 😂
Thank you! I appreciate the shares and likes!
Do you know if this works for a 2022?
Do you know if this works for a 2022?
Thank you so much! I just had locksmith program my 2022 Accord Sport 1.5T. We have remote start now! 👍🏻🤘🏻
Is there a way to make the AC come on when remote start is activated ?
@@cmyk71i own 2 hondas and from what I noticed when it’s remote started it automatically turns on ac or heater depending on the weather outside.
Just saw this video last night and happened to have an oil change scheduled today for my 1.5L sport. Anyway, the honda tech already knew about this and I paid 85 for the new key fob and 100 to program it. Works just like my EXL factory remote start. Not bad for $185.00
Glad this video helped! Do us a favor and hit the like button and share it out so more Accord sport owners know about this! Pay it forward!
Does the sport have keyless entry or auto lock?
@@N44876 yes it has keyless Entry and does automatically lock after a minute or two.
@@jmmzz8941 wow I heard the 1.5 sport doesn’t have those features???
@@N44876 I think most cars today come with keyless Entry. when I say keyless entry I mean you can lock and unlock car from the key fob. it doesent have smart entry like some of the higher models where there are sensors on the door handle that unlock the doors automatically without using the key fob
I just got mine done. I have 2019 Honda Accord 1.5 sport it bright red and the hack works! I got it done at Honda of Fort Worth. And the manager confirmed that it works before they started
That's cool man. I had remote start on my Civic Touring and I honestly never used it. And I live in Canada. Kinda pointless if the heated seats don't come on, especially with those ice-cold leather seats.
So I got myself an LX and the cloth seats are never cold...or at least not as cold as the Touring's leather seats. Sometimes common sense is a better life-hack than spending extra money for features that look nice on paper but are useless in actuality.
My car came with remote start, However? I appreciate what you guys are doing for those who don't have it.
Nice!!! Hope you guys don’t get canned by Honda lol
Still here :)
Your Honda Man i live in Miami is there anyway i can set up an appointment for sometime in January to do this? Willing to drive up love the video
I was just about to go to the dealer and have this done. Thanks for the Video!!!!
Love the passion you guys show in your vids
Thank you so much! Please spread the word about the channel
I just had Honda in Tarrytown NY do mine while I was getting an oil change. I have a 2018 Sport and it works. Everyone there was super shocked. Thank you for this tip! Super happy to have remote start now.
I’ve been a honda salesman here in Utah for 1 1/2 years and I’ve owned my silver accord sport since December 2017. I’m completely shocked. Walking over to parts to buy the key right now.
I can confirm this works! My service tech was very avid on me not doing it he was like “your car doesn’t have a remote start transmitter it makes no sense just to add a button you’re wasting your money” My whole dealership couldn’t believe it lol
@@stanworthington8767 what dealership did you go to?? I need to do this and I'm in Utah!
Can you ask someone at your dealership if this has a possibility to void your warranty on your car? I really want to do the same but I need to make sure it does not void my warranty.
Kait Loyal it definitely won’t! The only thing that would ever void your warranty is if you make any changes that effect the drive train and what not
Karlie Thomas I work at LHM Honda in Murray (:
Did it today and can confirm that it works perfect. Thank you for saving me time and money! I missed this feature from trading in my old civic coupe touring.
Congrats! Glad I could help. Pay it forward by dropping a like and sharing this video out!
Good thing it worked out. I have the 2.0t and I only use it when it gets below 60°. California has cold weather too, just the other night it got down to 47 and the inside was cold AF. I can see people using this all around the Country, especially where I'm from, Chicago.
I hope you guys took care of the tech, thank you don't pay the bills.
Wouldn’t your dealership hate to expose this as they’ll lose upgrade sales?
I think we can agree, over the long run, if there’s something beneficial to customers to get more out of their products, it builds trust and goodwill. Building value is sometimes more valuable in business over quick dollars
They can sell more key fob tho, and also can charge you 0.5-1hr work time. I think they make roughlt the same by selling you a $2500 more expensive car. On top of that some potential Camry/Altima buyers might buy a Accord instead for this hidden feature.
Most car sales are impulsive. The people that’s will benefit from this is the hand full of Car people or people who do research on they next buy. This would hurt business
Im from new york and i work for honda as well and a few months back picked my self up a beautiful 1.5T sport. When i saw this video i was like theres no way but you proved me wrong and this is amazing. Im definitely going to do this when i go back to work!
Works on the accord lx as well. Just not the sport. Tried it today. I work for Honda, upstate NY
Joseph Judge where?
It doesn’t void the warranty?
@@slickpanther06 no it doesn't void the warranty. The car is not being altered. Only adding an additional key fob
I just got it done! 22 honda accord 1.5 sport. I ordered the key fob off of Amazon for $35. I don't know if it matters but someone said open my fob and get match that serial number or model number with the new one that you are about to order so I did! Find a locksmith in Montgomery Alabama to program it. $75 for program and key cut. And it worked like a charm! Yes guys, it's the real deal. Just hit lock and then hold down the remote button and it starts. Today is January 15th MLK holiday 2024❤❤
I’m at the dealership right now trying to do it to my 2018 1.5 lx accord
Wish me luck
How'd it go?
Your Honda Man they told me it worked! I’m just waiting to get it back. I had to get my oil change too.
Its working perfectly. That's a yes for LX
I did mine today here in Minneapolis MN and it works price ranges from 170 to 260 so you have to shop around i went hopkins honda dealer got key fob around 90 dollars and went brookdale honda dealer to program about 65 dollars total 155 Thanks in a million
You’re welcome a million! ;) great tips! Pay it forward and drop a like and share this with any sport or LX owner you may know! I’m Sure they’ll appreciate it just as much as you.
Heck yeah!!!!! I will be contacting my sales guy asap!!!
Glad you found this video helpful and exciting. Do me a favor and drop a like and Pay it forward by sharing this with anyone you know with a new Accord Sport so they also get the most out of it!
@@EdwardYourHondaManTomilloso Another question and something try. Will the upgrade now give the Honda link app access to use remote start? Does it show up in the app as an option to use?
same here!
Following
@@dgillsco no it won't app was not designed to work with the sport model there is APK files missing on the sport model entertainment system now with that being said if you were extremely handy in Android hacking you could technically extract the APK file from a ex model and then add it to a sport which is not easy to do considering they are locked down with locked bootloaders so it's not a simple task at all but technically and theoretically that would work
got my 1.5 sport back in april .....will be getting my fob from ebay then ill moonwalk my a$$ to a dealer to get the prog. u the goat
Lol
did they program it to work?
@@rudysaucedo6659 local locksmith did
Sucks for those that paid $2500+ for a sunroof.
They also got blindspot monitoring, heated seats, smart key entry with walk away auto lock, rear ventilation, and cross traffic monitoring,
All the stuff Honda Man mentioned and the better engine.
Greg F. So is every single 4 cyl Honda ever made
@Greg F. try driving a newer impala 4 cyl, talk about weak engine.
It’s turbocharged and amazing
Awesome video! 😃 I made an appointment to have this done for my 2018 Honda Accord Sport 1.5T. I had to call several Honda Dealerships, 2 dealers said it can’t be done, but I found one that said they could do it with no problem.
Yes! Keep us updated on if it works for you! Pay it forward by a like on this video and share it out to your friends with Accord sports! And lx models too!
Damn smh I honestly went with the 2.0 because of the remote start 😒 and the smart key entry, didn’t care for the sunroof
Got em🤣🤣
You also got blind spot, heated seats, and don’t forget the 10 speed with the faster 2.0.
I do not think the smart entry worked on this, since it doesn’t have sensors on the doors
@@Alumnikiid 2.0t does have smart key entry. It has more features than the 1.5t
@@MAXED-TRUCKING I know, I meant the key works to remote start the 1.5 sport. However i do not think the proximity sensor in the key will work on the 1.5 sport.
I found this video man and I'm going to buy the key fog I hope it works on my 18 accord 1.5 sport. you guys are the best thank you
You’re welcome! Glad it helped! Don’t forget to drop a like and share this video with other sport owners
I went to my dealership and they told me that they would program the remote but it would void the warranty on the car. Anyone else having this problem or is it just the dealership I went to.
I figured that would happen
They only saying that because it takes the focus away from the Sport 2.0 trim and higher smdh everything is done through Honda lol
No it wouldn't they are just trying to scare u
Just buy an ex key fob at the parts then go into the service department and say can you program this. If he says the new key looks different say, the parts guy said it dont matter
That is total BS! The only thing that would void the warranty are doing upgrades that affects the engine, drive train transmission, etc. This is just freaking programming a new key with OEM fobs, something this car is designed to do when one loses the key or wanted an set of keys. Go for it!
Did this on my wifes 2019 Insight lx. Bought the fob and had it programmed, and it worked perfectly. All in was about $130
Who would have a 1.5 Sport with an automatic?!? Nice hack, but save the manuals.
Im too lazy for manuals
What's the point of a manual on 1.5? It's slow as heck. If it's 2.0t, that's another story.
@@EdisonChar its an accord, what are you expecting out of it. O-60 in 2 secs.
@@jdubdoubleu that should be the minimum requirement.
@@EdisonChar good point.
It works and it was a shock to a salesman. My wife took the car from me after I had it done.
Question is...will the Honda dealers sell you a key remote that’s not designed for your model 🤔
MoNo K I ordered my oem remote keys off of eBay that comes with the remote start option so the only thing they have to do is program it so will see what happens
DJ FACA - Who gonna program it?
MoNo K I think my Honda deal-ship is gonna bs so I found a locksmith who can do it for $40 a key also I ordered mine on the Hondapartsguys.com they the cheapest ones for the oem
eBay charged me $99 per key so I canceled the order
DJ FACA - A locksmith can program a key fob to a vehicle 🤔
Thank you for giving the advice. Today I went to Honda and they did without asking anything with price 125$ all went smooth and am happy to have remote start
That definitely works, I did a 2019 Honda with my Autel and it worked
It's true it works I just had it done in an 18 Accord sport 1.5l. I bought the remote online and had my local dealer program them and it works!
Thanks for confirming!
It really works!!! Just got it programmed by the Honda dealer. They didn’t asked no questions they just did it 😁
Just done this today and yes it works. Fob emergency key and program $182. Part #72147-TVA-A21. Crazy Honda would not supply this already.
Works for Hybrid the key also! The Android head unit screen is also an actual android tablet that has an open source SDK, so you can add RUclips, Netflix and Googel browser, etc....There is also a hack to make the Led front and back running lights go sequential (Knight Rider or Psylon Style) for turn signal use. Super sick!
Stewart Perthou that sounds awesome!!! ALL OF IT
Fill me in on how how to do this on a 1.5 sport?
As far as my knowledge you are correct on the head unit being an Android tablet basically which can be cracked and hacked problem being is bootloader locked and as far as I know it has not been done yet older model Hondas have had their android-based head unit cracked but not the 2018 or 19 Accord yet I could be wrong on this but I'm pretty sure and things like RUclips Netflix and Google browser cannot be loaded in until after the bootloader has been unlocked and just FYI for anyone thinking about digging into this without any knowledge you can seriously screw up your system if you don't do it correctly so don't attempt unless you have an expert to level in bootloader unlocking and rooting
Bought my fob for $70 off hondapartsnow and had it programmed for $69 at boardwalk honda. Best $140 i have spent this year. I have a 1.5 sport
Here to confirm it actually works! $155 total with key and installation at a Honda dealership. Thanks!!
I have the 2.0 Accord Turbo and it came with the remote start key fob. I love it.
Thsnks im getting ready to get one for my wife now i dont have to get an aftermarket remote start.
People like you are the reason I shared this Hack! Thank you for letting us all know.
I took my honda accord sport to the dealership to program the new remote and it works great I paid $85 for the remote and $75 to get it programmed and it works, thanks guys! I can also rolled down the windows by pressing the unlocked button for a few seconds its and awsome feture.
That’s awesome! You’re welcome! The best compliment I can get in return is a like and a share of this video with other sport owners!
Good job! I'm glad it worked.
Lol me too! This video would’ve been so anticlimactic if it didnt
Just get my car done it works the dealership was looking crazy lol thanks for the info
For sure! Thanks for the compliment. Glad this video helped. Do me a favor and drop a like and pay it forward by sharing this out to other Accord sport owners!
Still works got my 2020 1.5 sport done today. I got key fob programmed at a Batteries Plus Bulbs store.
it's hilarious to see Honda employees get all excited. Our local locksmith was selling OEM fobs for 40.00 ,and 30 bucks to program back in 2018. It's common knowledge that software is built into mostly all cars..
From one car enthusiast to another aka the hondaman, I am already excited about the hack you two are planning. Funny to see the excitement as you two try to get this ginger
Going *
Hahah right!? I was giddy the whole time!
Absolutely it'll work you just got to get like I said the 2.0 or the ex or EXL key fob it's all the same it'll all work
I thought you had to get a 1.5 ex or exl key fob. I didn’t know it will also work with a 2.0 key fob. I thought the engine made a difference.
Worked!! I got the remote start on my 1.5T Honda Accord sport 2018
The dealer told me there won't be any warranty on remote start feature. And I'm completely ok with it.
Ty Honda man🤟🏼
you’re welcome! Pay it forward and drop a like on the video and share it to any accord owner you know!
will do👍
I just ordered the part. My Honda dealer here in Texas kept insisting that it was not available for my vehicle. They are trying not to do it but I ordered it online and will take it to them when I receive it. I am not taking no for an answer. I will get this done. Its been cold here lately and this will help me tremendously. Will update when completed.
Looking forward to hearing back if it works for you!
I’m sure there will be dealership haters, those that refuse to understand the request or refuse to program the new key fob. I’ll drive down to SoCal from NorCal to have it done at your dealership.
got a Touring for OTD price of $27k from a dealership desperate to move units before the year ends.... feels good man!
SecretAgentMan00 post the price breakdown and dealership, that’s a steal!
I'll be scheduling my appointment this week... thank you!!!
hey I just want to confirm that works on the sport , because i did it today, I was nervous that maybe the people in the dealership won't like to do it , but they helped me amazing great friends
Awesome! Glad it works!
I have the 2018 Blue accord sports 1.5 liter cant wait to do this...thanks man
You're welcome

I work for Honda aswell and am about to get my lady an hrv. I hope this hack works for it aswell
that would be great .. I'm curious myself, I have 2017 EX-L
It doesn’t work on the 2017s
Omg I just bought a 1.5L Sport last wkend, I’ll definitely buy an extra keyfob for the EX and let my local dealership program it before the month ends.
I just went to the dealership and programmed a kid fob and it work :) thank you guys
You're welcome! pay it forward and share this video! :)
I gotta get this!! I have a beautiful 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 but really wanted that remote start that the 2.0 have. Now I gotta find someone to program it here in Jax, Fl
