Rep Power: 291 Call the dealer. They can probably tell you how to program the remotes to work with your newest 7th gen. If they're anything like Fords, they have a simple procedure to program them. I bought a remote for the SHO that I had a few years ago. They took a new one off the shelf and did something with the key and ignition to program it. It worked perfectly after that. I imagine Honda's work similarly, otherwise how would you program a new one if you lost the original?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 There's a funky voodoo dance you have to do to program the remotes.
I have the dance written down in my car. I'll try and remember to get it when I get home and I'll post it.
It's in the manual that comes with the keyless entry module....which I would think comes with the car.
Does your new car have keyless entry already? B/c if it doesn't, they won't work.

haha... i had these instructions from the 6th gen civics but i wasn't sure if they're the same instructions for the 7th gen....
i didn't want to try it until someone confirms that they're the correct instructions for the 7th gens..i didn't want to end up with all the remotes disabled if i mess up...
did you actually try them on the 7th gen civic? are the same procedures used on all Hondas?
also, where is this information found? I have access the the mitchels database and also the alldata database...i was going to look in there to see if i can find it somewhere in a repair manual...
so and i guess i gotta remove the key everytime i press the remote buttons eh?

But after you're done programming it, they won't work with the key in the ignition.
I only mention that b/c I think I programmed it correctly the first time, but I had them in my hand and when I finished programming, I turned the key to off, but left it in the ignition and then I tested the remotes and of course, they didn't work [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] So I programmed it a second time, and did the same thing and then remembered reading that I had to take the key out of ignition, and lo, they worked

I can't speak for all Hondas, but I did it on my 2002 Civic, so it should work for you.
It came in the Honda manual which came with the OEM keyless entry module I bought. I would assume that any car with keyless entry would come with that manual, but perhaps not? I looked at the installation instructions on handa-accessories.com, but it only contains the directions for installing the actual module, and not programming it.
The book I have is a thin gray booklet...looks much like every other Honda manual.
When programming it, the keys will be in the ignition (it will be in the ON position after step 11). You only have to push a button on the remote, and you can do both remotes without going through all the steps--just hit one button, the locks will cycle, then hit the other and the locks will cycle again.
But after you're done programming it, they won't work with the key in the ignition.

after pressing LOCK or UNLOCK in step 12, i am now in programming mode. i now press LOCK or UNLOCK on each of the remotes then turn key to OFF to end programming?
step 13 is just to test if the programming was successful?

You have the right idea, but step 13 is supposed to be the actual programming step, and then you turn the ignition off, remove the key and test the fobs.
Based on the way you describe it, though, you'll have done it right either way, I think.
