Rep Power: 0 Installing Keyless Entry Harness '04 LX
Hello,
I'm helping my brother install keyless entry on an '04 LX. I once did so with my '03 Element but had OEM kit so it was an easy plug and go.
Is this job overly complicated for a novice electrician? And if not can anyone recommend an after market kit that helps simplify? Anyone have a DIY video link that helps.
Thanks for any help!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

The car should already have keyless equipped from the factory.
You just need to program a correct remote to it.

Re: Installing Keyless Entry Harness '04 LX
The LX, GX, and EX cars came with 2 fobs when it was brand new.
DX (all versions) would have manual windows and manual locks.
HX came with manual windows, and power locks but no keyless from the factory.
You can enter the VIN in an online parts catalog and determine which trim it is.
or is it just something he could have purchased all this time?
Programming the fobs is a simple DIY.
You can find several places online (ebay, et al) may have them, but be aware there are many that look alike externally and not all will work with the car.

If you want to make sure it has the keyless entry installed, it's forward of the center console you'd have to pop out the panel in the center where the power socket is (if it has one)
Find dealer accessory keyless installation instructions from 01-05 Civics and you can see where the unit should be located in the dash.

Hi I'm looking for the same thing, but for a 2003 LX (US). I bought the fob and tried to program it but it wouldn't take it presumably because it doesn't have a receiver. Anyone have an idea of what to do next? Where to get it?

EDIT: I just noticed another post that says you are in Canada? The cars up there are not always equipped the same as US spec cars, and I don't have a lot of specifics on them.
