Programming Notes:

Sorry, there are no keyless entry remote self-programming instructions for this vehicle. You must get an Automotive Locksmith to program the remote to your vehicle for you. If your vehicle requires professional programming we tell you, so you’re not left with any doubt and searching all over the internet. It’s still much cheaper to purchase a remote from Low rate Locksmith and get it programmed by a Locksmith rather than buying from a Dealership! We strongly recommend calling a Local Auto Locksmith for help here. Find a Local Honda Automotive Locksmith instantly by using our search tool below.
