Rep Power: 0 Adding another keyless remote on 2001 LX
I just bought a 2001 Civic LX for my daughter. It only came with one key fob remote. It appears to be a factory Honda remote. I asked the local dealer about purchasing another and they said the LX remote entry system was an accessory, so they cannot replace the missing fob.
Is there any truth to this? I see them advertised on eBay stating they work with the LX model.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Re: Adding another keyless remote on 2001 LX
Whomever you spoke to is incorrect.
Read this info link (PDF) http://www.driveaccord.net/PDF/remot...m%2098-011.pdf
The info you need is on page 5.

One other question: Can just the outside case be purchased to make the remote look new again. The guts of the one transmitter I have work, it just looks beat up.
Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom on this.

Re: Adding another keyless remote on 2001 LX
What did you get? Got a pic?
Will any of the keyless entry transmitters offered on eBay work? Some say they will, but feedback indicates that people have had some that don't work.
According to my info, the part number listed in the bulletin for your car also fits SOME 01-04 Civics, SOME 03-06 Element, and 07-08 Fit (base model).
I am not sure what to do.

Don't have a pic. The dealer kept it when it wasn't right. I did TRY to buy it from my local Honda dealer. I think the box was the receiver for the keyless entry system.
We are researching this more. We think the last digit of the part number is incorrect in the TSB. We have ordered part 08E61-S5D-1M001 to see what that is.

I ordered part number 08E61-S5D-1M002
08E61-S5D-1M001
Hmmm...
Price checker page says..
The M002 number says it's a "transmitter",
the M001 number says "transmitter, keyless"
Hmmm...
Search those numbers in the catalog.....and
08E61-S5D-1M001 is a "transmitter, keyless", quantity per car: 2
08E61-S5D-1M002 is a TRANSMITTER, KEYLESS RECEIVER. Qty 1.
Well, I guess that misleading description answers that. LOL
When I wrote this:
"According to my info, the part number listed in the bulletin for your car also fits SOME 01-04 Civics, SOME 03-06 Element, and 07-08 Fit (base model)."
I did not actually look at my copy of the bulletin, nor did I double check the part number you gave.
My bad, sorry. (For some reason I thought you got it the parts off of ebay too. Must have read the wrong post as yours?)
The version of the bulletin I found on the net appears to be an old one. The version I have is dated Jun 2011 and has the M001 part number listed for your transmitter.
Your dealer should have been able to locate the same info I have.

I still appreciate your help. I would not have known where to start without that TSB. The ...01 part number will come in on Monday and I will check it out and get back to you.
Do you have the June 2011 document in PDF form?
Thanks again.
Mike

Re: Adding another keyless remote on 2001 LX
Only from Hondas dealer site, and I can't hotlink their information here. Sorry.
Anything I do link here was already posted elsewhere on the net by someone else. I wasn't able to find the newer version of the bulletin to link here.
You can search if you want... search for 'Honda bulletin 98-011' or whatever that number was.

As promised, I am providing an update on this. Part number 08E61-S5D-1M001 does in fact work on a 2001 Civic LX. I now have two working transmitters.
Thank you all for your help.

I hope you guys don't mind me bumping this old girl to the top. '01 EX, has one OEM transmitter and I'd like at least one or two additional. Is that updated part number correct? I need duplicate keys too, but that's another thread.
