Hello everyone,

I had two Honda Civic keys as shown in the image in the post where one of the keys ran out of battery. When I replaced the battery, I noticed that the program was no longer saved as I wasn't able to use the current key and I was able to use my spare key. When I was looking up on the forums and videos, I watched the traditional method of reprogramming by turning the key to the 2nd mark to turn on the electronics and pressing the lock key 4 times while the door is unlocked to get it programmed. When attempting the process, I was unsuccessful in programming the key. I am of course able to use the physical key to access and start my car, but it can be inconvenient to not be able to remotely unlock and lock my car.

My question is if I need an HDS to reprogram the key when working with a 2015 Honda Civic, if there is another method of reprogramming the key, or if I am just incorrectly programming the key with the right procedure explained earlier. I am not as knowledgeable in key reprogramming and was wondering if anyone had any experience in doing so themselves. I wanted to avoid paying the dealership $130 to reprogram my key. Thank you for the response in advance!

key programming is for the anti-theft system. If you can start the car you don't need key programming. This one requires dealer or locksmith with correct equipment
remote fob programming you just need a working remote fob and the right programming method for your car year/model.

start by getting an owners' manual.
