Hi guys

I'm new here just bought an 03 coupe. It's an EX model and I read they came standard with keyless entry. The thing is I don't have a remote. I'd like to get one though but not unless I find out the car is equipped with the brain already. So how do I find out if I have it or not? Does anyone know where it's installed? thanks!

all 01-05 EX civic had keyless entry installed. LX had power locks but no keyless. DX/VP only had manual locks. you just need a new remote and have it programmed to the car. im not sure where the keyless unit is, prolly under the steering wheel where that cover is tho...above the brake pedal.

if you have an ex, yea you would have keyless. if you go to a dealer to get a remote + programming i think youre looking at about 150-200$.

i know there are a lot of guys on ebay that sell the actual oem factory remotes for keyless entry for our cars for around $20 and it includes 'free programming instructions'. i dont know how hard it is or what it takes to program it yourself, but i would say its worth the $20 to try your luck.

worst case scenario is the 'free instructions' dont work, and you have to go to the dealer, but at least you will have a factory remote at a fraction of a dealership price and it will only need programming.

Alright, cool. Thanks for the speedy responses guys. Yeah, i was asking because I saw a remote for $20 and I thought why not you know...Thanks again

just be sure you get the exact one for your car to prevent any problems. there are only 3 buttons - lock, unlock, panic. there is NO trunk button.

this also might help. on the back of the remote, the FCC ID is NHVWB1U521 on mine (02 ex coupe).

my car is a 2005 honda civic coupe. im not sure if i have one because it didnt come with one when i bought it used. but there is a red blinking light on the bottom near the clutch (manual tranny) if someone could please help cause i want a remote but im not sure.

Are you in the US? Does the top of your engine say "vtec?" Do you have a sunroof? In the US an EX would have factory keyless. A LX may or may not have had keyless installed since it was new.

Programming a keyless remote is simple and easy to do without any special tools. All that is needed is a valid transmitter with a good battery.

Next time start a new thread instead of bringing a 7 year old thread back to life.

This would indicate someone has installed an aftermarket unit of some sort, probably either an alarm system or a remote start system. Find the light, follow the wires to the control unit they connect to, find name/label on the control unit and work your google-fu to see what the brand name and numbers can tell you.


For USA, in 2005 the EX, EX-SE, LX and LX-SE would have come with keyless from the factory. In theory all you'd need is another correct Honda fob and program it to the car to make it work.
