How To Program Honda Remote Key FOB Transmitter Without a Scan Tool
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 апр 2019
- In this video I show how to program a Honda key FOB transmitter so that it works with the door lock system. If the master power window switch (window control unit) is replaced on older Hondas, this programming must be done. On many older Honda vehicles it is possible to do this programming without the use of a scan tool and I show how in this video.
If the programming is not done, the lock/unlock on the key FOB transmitter will not work and there will be no way to turn off the built in alarm system if it is activated.
The official name for this procedure according to Honda is Keyless Entry Transmitter Programming.
Most newer Hondas, like those with keyless push to start systems, require the use of a Honda factory capable scan tool if any of the remote key FOBs need to be programmed, so if you do not have access to a scan tool the vehicle will need to be taken to a shop that does.
The exact vehicle in this video is a 2004 Honda Accord 2.4L EX sedan.

Hi sir,I have a question. what do u mean by scan tools. Do we can only clone the keys by using the clone gadget like vvdi. And then follow the manual steps along with the new clone keyless key on the car. Or after clone the key we still require to use the scan tools?
Hey big dog. I have a 02 civic ex and i just lost my keys. Mine doesn't have the remote on the key fob but i found a set on Amazon that will work with my car.they look just like those that i just saw you programmed. Will i be able to program them myself as you did that one in the video? Locksmith is charging$150 to program them.

@@declanosbourne62 has this work for u I have an 01 civic n we lost the keys
lost the key to my 2003 honda accord so all have a but lost the remote so i can get in the car but cant start the engine what do i do please help.
I laughed at the end of the video. Some guy told me the only way to program my FOB was to take it to him or an authorized Honda dealership. I was expecting this code to bring out a high tech device, hook it up to the car, and punch in codes. People are ridiculous for taking advantage of those that don't know any better. Thankful for you ! 👍🏼👍🏼
This method is to only program the remote. If you want a new key to start the car, yes most cases you need to go to the dealer.
Also they are charging for the information not everything is free if you know something somebody doesnt youre allowed to charge for the information which probably wasnt free for them to acquiere.
Key fob hasn't worked in years, thought it was the battery and I got it replaced, still no luck. Can't believe it was THIS easy. Thanks, just saved me from the money hungry dealership.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Yo this is one of those rare RUclips tutorials that actually worked for me. Thanks so much man!
Thank you so much! I watched another video, but they didn't tell you to do that last click on the key fob. I was pretty discouraged. I appreciate your simple and thorough instructions. It worked!!!!
Played the video and did steps with you thank you so much!!! Shame on these dealerships for trying to rob us by charging $150 to do this. They should do this as a courtesy 🤦♀️. Thank you so much
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
I heard some dealers do it for free as a courtesy, but too bad not the one near me.
Wow so I can do this myself no dealership or locksmith involved??
Dealerships are pricing themselves out of business, I worked as a mechanic at a Chevrolet dealer for 15 years. What upset me more than anything else was a customer comes in with a camaro, one of the brake light bulbs is out. It takes only minutes to replace. I'd tell the customer to go over to the parts dept and get a bulb (cheaper at any auto parts place as dealers mark up stuff 100 to 1000%), they'd bring the bulb and I'd change it in the service drive (I also wrote service for 2 years). The service manager tells me, don't do that, we're here to make money. Here's how it goes, the labor rate at the time was 115.00 per hour. There's a minimum half hour checkout time (diagnosis), then the book time which could be .2 of an hour, if it's customer pay the labor goes up, most mechanics would charge .5. Take 115.00 divided by 2 =57.50, then add the .2 (possible book time)=23.00 = 80.50 or .5 labor at 57.50 + 57.50 diag time which makes the dealer 115.00, to change a light bulb? To me, this is no way to run a business, I had to leave and find another career from burn out and I was tired of seeing customers fleeced out of money which is plain old robbery. I would tell people when you take your vehicle for repairs, unless it's warranty avoid dealers like the plague. If no warranty ask the shop their labor rate per hour and what the parts cost, then look for the lowest labor rate (make sure the mechanic is ASE cert), then call around and check prices on what they want for the part, when you find the part at the dealer is sky high, ask why the part is so high. If the excuse sounds like BS, look for another shop.
@@jumpercable20 - hey thanks man for that info really appreciate it. Honda dealer wants $120 to do this and I thought why, then I found this video and read your comment. People like you and Big Dog give me hope for humanity. Thanks again.
Worked on an old 90s Honda with single button key fob. Took a few tries but worked wonders. You absolute legend! Thanks so much (all the way from NZ) 👏👏
👍
Little things. Like this video, that make a big difference , in people's lives. Thank You!
YES I AGREE THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I agree. Thanks sooooo much!
I swear bruh
Fixed my problem too! Thank you
Well said!
I went thru hell for 4 days jumping in and out my trunk since my driver door lock is broke I was using primary key to open the trunk and jumping thru the back seat to open the door you just helped me so much would of never thought of this method, may god be with you even more then ever thank you!
👍
Great tutorial. Right to the point with all the important side notes. Thanks!
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
@@BigDog50001 Does this not work on 2011 Civics? Did all your moves at exact same time as you as I watched the video while using key in other hand. But the locks never do anything on the 4th turn on, theres no reaction in the car whatsoever.
Does this trick program the immobilizer? or just the doors?@@BigDog50001
I remembered this video, from a while back and returned to program a Honda keyless fob for my ‘05 Honda Civic. This is simple, to the point, quick & easy. I followed along with you in the video and got this old fob to work. Thanks!
Awesome, glad it helped!
@@BigDog50001just curious, the immobilizer buttons fell out and didn't notice, i have the key but need the chip, i have another key that i had for another civic, same year, immobilizer is programed for that car, will this turn on the car if i program it like you did?
Just changed the driver side door switch control on my daughter’s 05 accord and was wondering why the fob stopped working. Your video is amazing! Thank you so very much.
Tried everything and this is the only video that helped!! Last step for me was close the door wait for auto lock and then pressed unlock on the key fob and worked like a charm! Thank you for this simple video!!
Thank you so much, I just left the Honda shop after spending 4 hours in that place & they couldn’t program my key with their fancy equipment, then they charged me $229, Jesus led me to you, I followed your directions & it worked 🎉🎉🎉
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Does that turn the car on now with that key does that have to a different programming
Thanks man. I had to replace my battery in the fob and it stopped working after I changed it. I've been looking it up for days. You were clear, quick, and solved my problem.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
@@BigDog50001 Would this method work for a new key that’s never been programmed to the vehicle. It’s a 2007 civic. Thanks
@@Grenplen im wondering the same has it worked?
Spot on mate, it worked a treat. That waiting one second before you turn on again is good advice but you have up to five seconds to complete it each time, and if you have additional keys you leave the key in the ignition as this fella has done on the fourth click then all you have to do is one click on each additional key fob once for one second and you have 10 seconds to complete that process.
Was having trouble programming 2 keys- until you said that to program another youd just click unlock after the locks cycle, and that worked perfectly! Thank you!
Awesome 👍!
Contributors like you are why youtube is the greatest thing ever. Thanks!
Wow, thanks!
@@BigDog50001 paw
@@BigDog50001 This worked just fine for me as well but car is not starting with the key. How to fix that? Thanks in advance
@@venu9955 I think that you need to go to the dealership you bought your car from and tell them to reprogram the key fob for your car.
This happened to me today and i think it'll work if you do it.
@@professor6611 Thanks for your response. I got it fixed
Thank you for this. I followed every other online instruction and video I could find and nothing worked right. The locks would cycle, but the new key fobs wouldn't keep the programming. This video helped me solve the problem. Opening and closing the door was they key to locking in the programming.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
can i ask at what point do you open and close the door? i seem to have the problem of it not keeping it stored, can go through it all, once i take the key out nothing happens, thanks
Thank you so much! This just worked on my 2014 Accord Sport that was stuck with my anti-theft Alarm activated! Super embarrassing because my alarm was going off the whole time 😮. But my neighbors won’t hate me anymore! You’re a lifesaver!
This worked like a charm on my wife’s 2014 CR-V except I had to use the lock button, the unlock button didn’t work. Also on the fourth cycle the doors didn’t lock or unlock but after completing the sequence and removing the key it worked perfectly. Thanks again!!
Fantastic! Worked for me the very first time. Great video and write to the point! Thank you!
You're awesome Instructor/Teacher ! Most mechanics don't say what size a wrench they use like you do in all your videos . Keep up the Great Job and, Thank you
Thanks!
You made every explanation and step seem so easy. I bet a 7yr old can watch and just do a programing of a new keyfob. Thanks for making this video.
Thanks 👍!
You are an absolute genius! I tried this so many times and it wouldn't work on my 2005 Pilot, until I followed the very last step in this video. I opened and closed the driver door. Once I did that, everything worked!! Thank you!
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Didnt even realize that i had watched another 1 of your videos that was on point. This is the 2nd time you bailed me out. Saved me time and about $250. For that, ill gladly subscribe. Thx again
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment and welcome!
At first I didn't expect result. Then suddenly my frustration turned into joy. Thank you sir!
Glad it helped!
Absolutely works on a 2009 Accord Ex-L. Fixed a broken set of keys for $8, just needed a new case, programming it using this method was easy on the first try!
This video actually helped me get it correctly unlike the previous 3 I watched. Thanks!
I couldn’t believe how easy this was to do, worked perfectly for my ‘15 Civic. Thank you 🙏🏽
👍
I tried with my civic 2015 and it did not work. I tried a few times and ready to give up.
This works for that new of a Honda model? Interesting....
@vufirst I have a honda civic 15 too.i finally used Google search and their AI steps worked.
@@vufirstdid you ever get it to work?
Your video fixed my problem after replacing the battery. Looks like it needs
to be reprogrammed. Many thanks!!!
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
I just bought an 06 Accord that only came with a valet key. The alarm is stuck on. You've helped immensely! As soon as my key fobs are delivered I'm doing this!
This tutorial was amazing. I was able to follow along and program 2 fobs. Thank you
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Very direct and to the point. I just replaced the battery after a year of having to manually open and close. It works great! Thanks for the video.
Helpful to know; thank you! Did your power locks respond immediately after the new battery installation? We bought our Pilot (03) used, and figure the battery's about 5+ yrs old.
Thank you so much! I had replaced a dead battery within hours of it dying but it no longer worked until I found this video! Pure gold!
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Worked on 2015 Civic LX. My car didn’t unlock/lock on the 4th turn, but when I took my key out and tried it, it works 😁 thanks!
Perfect instructions very simple straight forward. Worked with my 07 ridgeline.
I just wanted to say "Thank You" for your excellent video program a remote key fob. Car key centers want a lot of of money for this so-called complicated process, especially Honda, very complicated.
Well following your video, this so-called complicated process took me a total of 1 (one) minute and it works perfect; Thanks to you !!! Great job
worked like a gem. Thanks!!
Thank you ssssooo much for this. I needed my fob reprogrammed. I went to Honda dealer and it was going to cost me $240 for new key and reprogram. I am grateful for your video!!!
Where you got the key cut? And this method of programming worked on starting the car?
Thanks sir! Other video makers are selling program tools in excess of a hundred dollars. You have saved me money but at the cost of economic growth for the nation.
Wow. I've tried this without success until this video. I even thought something may be wrong with the receiver. Seeing the timing you used made all the difference. Thank you!
👍
You helped so much. I watched another video on how to program the key fobs but the other video didn't mention the 5th button push time to complete the programming process. You saved me a ton of money, thanks again.
Glad it helped, thank you for the comment!

This worked on my 2014 Civic. I had an intermittent light and signal. I followed these instructions and it worked. Thank you my Good Man
Thank! I tried it and it worked on 2013 Accord. Before it would not lock with the lock button but it will lock with the unlock button. Then the red light would stayed on for about 10 seconds. I follow your instructions and it worked again like normal. Thank you!!!!
I just saved $150 on the spot 😬 thank you so much
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
So did you just buy the keys on amazon....and how much did it cost tobget the keys cut? After you have keys cut you just proggram them like this and they work?
Hi, is it can start car engine?I lost original key, but I have spare key that can open and lock car door , so I need a key can start car engine
This worked on my 2007 Honda Fit, easy, programmed lock and unlock, I took the security chip from my old key, great video, $12 for the key and fob, $15 to have it cut and all good!
Where did you get ur key bro?
Where you got the key cut? And this method of programming worked on starting the car?
The instructions that I pulled from a site did not specify that it was the key that I had to press on. Thank you!
I know this is old video. But thanks a lot, brother. I got a new key and the mechanic give written instruction. Its very confusing and i accidently reset my new remote as well as my old remote, meaning nothing works !!!
The alarm goes off like crazy and i called the mechanic but he didnt pickup. I was about to disconnect my car battery as im getting frustrated, then i decided to google the solution, then yr video came up. You save my life brother. Thanks
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
I would love if you could do a multiple key fob programming since there is where I am having a hard time. This video is awesome. I was able to program my first remote.
Same steps for multiple key programming
Just keep the key inside but this time when you turn it to on push the button on the 2nd key
Thanks for the video. I was able to successfully program my key fob.
Would this work on a new key that never been programmed to the car. I got a 2007 civic
Omggggg just went to the dealer and they wanted to charge me $200 jist to diagnose. Watched your video and worked lol. Saved me $200 thanks 🙏🏼
👍
My local Honda dealership didn’t program the key that they had to give me after cutting a first one and it not working and wanting to charge me for the second cut AND the actual problem. I guess not programming the key was to be spiteful since I didn’t let them get over on me for the extra $269. It just took me under 1 minute to do this-thank you, sir!
Fantastic, so simple. Worked for two new eBay key fobs I bought. Thank you so much. Earned a new sub.

This worked for our Honda Mobilio 2017. First, I tried cleaning just like before (alcohol/WD40). Wiped and used blower but still the fob key is malfunctioning. But this time this method of yours worked! Thanks!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!! I called my local HONDA dealership I was told the cost of the HONDA key was 65$ and to program the key would be 110 $ This video has saved me 171$
No problem, just remember this will not program a new key to start the car, a new key would still need the Immobilizer programmed to start the car (In addition to being cut to the car).
@@BigDog50001 oh wow. Okay thanks for informing me about the spare key will not start the car!

If you accidentally set off the alarm you can stop it by: exit the car and close the driver side door, put the key in and turn it to the right twice.

You Sir, are a LEGEND! Can’t believe how much the dealerships and locksmith charge for such a simple task. Thank you again!
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
The reason locksmith charge so much is because the tools we have to use are very expensive and there is a LOT to learn.
Thank you so much for the posting, following your instructions I just programed 2 keys that I purchased on Ebay for a 2010 Honda Fit, you just saved me about $100 or more in programming fees.

Worked perfectly on my 2006 Honda pilot. Ordered a key fob off amazon. Programmed and put in my original key. Thanks.
Hi small question if you have two keys can you programme them at the same time, quickly pressing them both in the one second time frame?
I love your video. I wanted to know if you can program a used Honda Accord 2008 remote key fob to another 2008 Honda Accord
Have you tried this method? I have a 2007 accord and need a replacement key and faub
This worked like a charm for my '03 Accord! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video it helped me program 2 fobs. I lost 1 original key fob for my 2011 Honda accord & what I think is the master key fob was acting up. Unfortunately, the "master" fob is no longer working. Once I get the new fobs cut I will reprogram it. Again, THANK YOU!!
Dealership wants to charge me $116 to program my key. Lol not today dealership
You can only program the remote on your Honda NOT THE KEY PORTION. NOT THE TRANSPONDER....
MA Natal
Is this why I can lock and unlock the doors but not start the car? Hoping you see this...
Abbey Something Normal I don’t believe it will start, otherwise, he would have started the vehicle. Which brings me to the next question, why even bother? You will still need the dealership or a locksmith to program the actual key. Correct me if I’m wrong please.
MA Natal As I thought.
How do I program key fob without original key fob remote. I only have the spare key without the fob
If you have a honda accord like in this video like I do, what I did was buy a programmable key fob off Amazon for like $8 (mine came with a dummy key if I wanted to get it cut at a locksmith) and program it to the car using this video
Just did this and it worked perfectly! This should be in the owners manual. I looked and didn't see anything. Thanks so much for sharing!
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
They won’t put it in the manual because they want money my aunts pilot it has the same problem it won’t unlock unless you use the key
Great video straight to the point. It worked for me thanks!
Thanks to you and you video, It only took me 1 minute to program my 2 extra Honda key fobs. You just saved me $160 dollars. All now I have to worry about is getting these keys cut.
If they aren't already cut to the car, the Immobilizer chip will probably need to be programmed to the car. A scan tool is necessary for that.
Great idea! I Didn't think to check the fuses. My 2003 Honda Odyssey key cylinder got bad and wouldn't turn the key. I bought the new one with the wire harness and replaced it. Now my Honda starts- but then turns off and won't restart. The battery is good and charged I don't what I did wrong! LOL again- thanks for taking the time to share this video I appreciate it and I subscribed :)
This is Amazing!!
Still works even after 7 years later.
Damn easy. Thank you so much! We just switch our master door switch and the key fob not long lock/unlock the car so this help!!! Nice
this video was the best in explaining the procedure very simple and effective fo dummies like me, thank you so much.
Very grateful, simple, simple, practical and very effective.
Very thankful

You saved me again man. For some reason my 04 Accord key fob forgot its setting and I could only lock and unlock the driver side. I had a feeling it had something to do with the key fob programming and I found your vide. Now the door lock like they're supposed to.
Btw, I'll be doing the rack and pinion on this car soon. Hoepfully you have a video on here about how to do that job. 🤔
