Exploring the Smart Key Function of the Honda ADV 150

- How does the Smart Key or Key Fob function with the Honda ADV 150?
NOTE: If you press and hold the "Key" 🔑 symbol on the Key Fob you can LOCK/UNLOCK the ignition switch. If you LOCK the ignition the proximity feature is disengaged. Meaning, in order to turn the ignition lever you must UNLOCK it by pressing down (and holding) the "Key" 🔑 symbol until you see the green light illuminate. A RED light indicates the ignition is LOCKED and will not respond to the proximity feature. The GREEN light indicates you can use the proximity feature.

PROXIMITY FEATURE:
This is ideal for quick access when you make a trip to a store and won't be away from the bike too long. Or if you park the bike and ride it often. It's a nice feature, you just have to be carful understanding how it works and NEVER keep your Key Fob with the bike. ALWAYS keep it on your person or away from the bike when not using it. (my video explains why)
LOCKING IGNITION SWITCH:
This is a more secure measure and it disables the use of the proximity feature and is the preferred practice when storing the bike or not riding it for a while. Or when you are parked where there's a lot of people and you might be walking around close to your bike so you don't make a mistake and come within the range of the proximity feature so someone could gain access to the bike. When in doubt, LOCK the ignition using the Key Fob until it blinks RED.

Do you like the Key Fob or would you rather have a standard key?
Really wish they would do both. It would be really nice to have a key to fall back on if the tech fails!
@@bkclub599 Agree! Yes, a simple way to start the bike (using a standard key) but still have the FOB functionality for those quick On/Off the bike situations. It really should be a choice. IF I ever purchase another motorbike I'll opt for one with a standard key option.
TOO MUCH CAN GO WRONG. TOO MUCH TO CARRY. KEY IS BETTER.
Key , every day!! It's too convoluted this way...I'm having the same issue with the flashing key icon, only started when I changed the fob battery??
I pick on the FOB a lot, but it's never failed me. I hear stories where it does and it's complicated to emergency start this bike. I'd much rather have a standard key. Manufacturers need to keep it simple I feel.
I'm 70 and love keyless ignition systems. They are terrific. Wear pants with zip pockets, and you are never searching for your keys. You can't lose them while outside. And as for the pacemaker advice, that is absolutely nothing to worry about. Pacemakers are far more complex these days. Your mobile phone is just as risky. It's nonsense.
Thanks for the Honda ADV150 download links, now I got to check out your vid about the backup tool key.
Still need to make one. 🤣 Thanks for the reminder!
I bought a 2022 ADV-150 Used. with only 10 miles on it and I absolutely love it I already got 180 miles on it.
Nice! Congrats man. It took me three months to get that many miles. 🤣 But, maybe this year will be better.
Thanks, very informative
Welcome! ✌🏼
Great instructional video just purchased my sh125 today so this was an excellent tutorial 👍
I'm glad it was useful. Congrats! Be safe. ✌🏻
i keep a spare button cell for the key fob on my sh mode 125
@@jasoncroasdell8212 Great idea!
I’m glad you figured the key alert dashboard issue. I remember we talked about it 😊 I love the key fob. I do carry the manual key as you never know if the battery dies on the remote or on the scooter. I’m gonna watch your other video but that jumper blue adapter is located below the seat. Attached to it. Thx for the video. See ya bud
Thanks, sir! I am planning an Emergency Key video next with the blue EM connector. Hope to get this accomplished soon. There's some on TH-cam, but most are not in English so hopefully it will be helpful for people. Stay tuned!
@@Trekopolis thx be well and enjoy the rider course. You gonna love it
Brilliant piece
🙏🏻✌🏻
Great show how video! Very intuitive! So if I get a PCX150, the new one, is it better to not get the smart key and get regular keys to have a hassle-free start?
Thanks Tom
Don't think you'll have the option! They come from the factory a certain configuration. I'll check to see what I can find though. Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for the video. Looking forward to the next one in using that blue thing - interested in how to get one of those. Also, quick question, if I press the bottom button on the fob and the light blinks red, does that turn the fob off and save the battery. I did that over the winter and had a battery tender on the bike itself, but am concerned about the fob battery running out of juice when I’m 50 miles from home.
I don't think the RED light turns off the FOB, it only disables the ignition from sensing the proximity feature. Not 100% sure, but that's what I'd guess if I were a betting man. Good question though! Now you have me curious. Just keep the FOB away from the bike when in storage and it shouldn't drain the battery. Those FOBS take those CR2032 wafer style. I bought a 5-pack off Amazon for a few bucks and change them (in both FOBS) every season just for piece of mind. You can keep a spare in your wallet or somewhere else when you ride just to be safe. Case in point...just give me an actual KEY and be done with that nonsense. :)
I’ve also experienced the key indicator blinking while I was riding my ADV couple times today. I thought it was because of the interference coz I had my smart phone with me all the time which made me think the reason why the indicator keeps flashing while the ignition is on. I also have got a 5 volt adapter plugged in all the time and decided to pull it out. We’ll see if that fixes the blinking key indicator issue and give you an update tomorrow to see how it goes. Thank you! Love your videos man!
Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Yes, let me know! I think it blinks as some alert having to do with the adapter. It's either a warning message or a notification of something plugged into it. But, others say their light doesn't blink when using it so who knows. It might be my adapter itself. I've not tried another one yet.
low battery read the manual my fob ford c max 2015 is keyless and my car on board computer will also warn me for low fob key battery
Awesome information! Now I can start my bike and get to work 😂.
Let's hope! ;)
What if you leave scoot on "on" position and then walk away. Can you just come back, and press ignition button and ride away without the need to switch anything?
That's the best question I've ever heard, seriously. And to be honest, I never tried that! I don't know if I'd want to walk away and leave it wide open for someone to hop on and go, but now you have me curious and time for more testing. If you beat me to it let me know what you discover. lol
Hi handsome. Did you participate in the 2022 scooter cannonball run? If not , why not? Will you consider participating in such a venue? Thanks more videos please. Would you or have you considered upgrading to a Yamaha XMax 300? Thanks.
Nope, did not participate...no time and I don't plan to upgrade my motorbike because I enjoy this one, but thanks for the comment. :)
hello, my bike (adv750) key thob lights up and stuff, bike doesnt start or the blue ring doesnt come up, ive disabled kill switch and flicked the stand up and still wont start? helppp
While using the key fob press and HOLD the "key" button until you see a red light come on. That's how you lock the ignition. Then, press and hold the "key" symbol button down again until the green light comes on. If you are in proximity of the infrared field it should allow you to turn the ignition to the "run" position. If not, you might have a problem with the key fob battery.
Just wanted to say thanks for all of these videos! I especially loved the Hueston woods one, as that's my favorite park to go to! I was really surprised because I was searching for ADV150 videos, which are already a little scarce, and just happened to find yours, at my favorite park!
Quick question for you. I'm really considering getting the ADV150 if I can find one, but I'm a little worried since I'm 6'4. Do you think I could still ride it, albeit a little cramped, or is this a no go for someone my height? Thanks again!
P.S If you're looking for video ideas, I would love to see a video of you showing the under seat storage, seeing what you can fit in it and whatnot!
Hey, thanks for the kind comment! Really appreciate that. With you being 6'-4" the only thing you might find annoying is that hump in the seat where it raises up so someone can ride on the back behind you. Taller folks have replaced the stock seat with a custom seat or they've modified the stock seat and removed the hump somehow. I think there are videos on that actually. May want to check. But, besides the seat hump I'd say you would enjoy it. Is there any way you can actually find one and sit on it? :) That's really the only way to know how things are going to fit.
I forgot to mention the under seat storage idea. Yep! Great idea and an easy and quick video to create. Should be fun! ;)
Hi sir,
Why do some adv key fobs have 3 buttons and others have 2 buttons?
Thanks.
I've seen some that are programmable for the horn (alarm) and custom functions. I believe those are aftermarket devices, but not 100% sure if Honda makes them specifically. I've never seen a Honda brand FOB like that, in other words.
Thank you. Yes I am old school too, and I am reading all the motorcycle manual, as a software manual. Honda should have optional model using the normal key. And I don,t understand what is the purpose of this emergency connection when all you have is an electric starter, without battery it wont start. If we had an optional regular kick starter, then this emergency bypass would make more sense. I bought my 2024 sh125i yestarday, the last one was from 2014, normal key.
I believe it's a selling feature, nothing more. One more gimmick to add to the brochure. 🤔
standard key is fully waterproof, heavy monsoon rain is not a danger for it, is smart key safe in heavy rain ? i mean during rain season in Thailand?
It will survive a washing machine cycle. Don't ask how I know.
Sup bud
i lost ALL my keys to my ADV150, it was new and the seller offered me another one, that was in november. However, apparently there are NO "spare" keys in any store in the country available. Could you tell me where I can buy a new key and encode it?
Thanks man
Have you tried calling a local Honda dealer and see if they know? If they know the serial number of the bike I would think they could get one from Japan. Might need to show proof of ownership however.
I have a Honda forza 125 and every time I go to start up my bike none of my dashboard might come on only the key Symbol and Ik the battery is fine cause it’s been tested it’s a issue with the smart key
Those smart keys aren't real smart sometimes. 🙄
Convenient simply usage
Hi, thank you for the cool video!
i have a question: If the bike is running or started, because the key is near, but then the bike gets separated from the key. Will it ever shut off when driven away? I'm about to get a Forza 350 and this is my biggest fear - someone amplifying the key signal (like with Tesla), starting the bike and driving away... I think it should not be able to be driven without the key being close, but maybe Honda thinks differently? 😬
Thanks! If the bike is started and the FOB goes out of proximity range it will stay running. But, you can't start it again until you're back in range. That's a good point you made and I guess this is by design so the bike doesn't die while being ridden. That could be dangerous. I've started mine and went back into the house to grab something and it didn't shut off while I had the FOB in my pocket. I had it on center stand. So once started, the FOB is irrelevant unless you need to start again. 😵💫
@@Trekopolis Yeah, it dying on the road won't be fun, but getting stolen from me sounds even worse! 😅 I guess a GPS is mandatory!
@@LazyRASHO Chances are that won't happen, but if it makes you sleep better at night do what it takes, right? 😁 It's a shame we must live among thieves where they never learned respect for others. 🙄
@@Trekopolis Yep! Peace of mind is needed! 😅
honda has put me of getting a new Honda cant they have a option to have a key ?
Welcome to the 21st Century. I guess this is their future for more motorbikes. It started with the Gold Wing and they are using the feature on more models now.
Thank you, I just bought a adv150 and couldn't figure out how to fire the bike up lol
It's rocket science I tell ya! 🤣 Congrats on the bike and let me know how you enjoy it. 👍😎
Bought a 22 adv 150 in the Dayton area
Nice! Hey neighbor! I'm sure you'll love cruising around town. Is it the red color?
I kind of like the key fob convenience but it has more ways to go wrong that can leave you stranded than keys. Cost effective keys, are a water proof, don't need batteries and fool proof solution.
Honda should go back to reliability and standard key access. If I ever upgrade this bike I'm avoiding the FOB process if possible. Hope they still make a bike with keys in the future. Maybe everything is headed that direction. Who knows.
I've taken my battery out of the bike to give my buddies bike a jump and now my seats locked. How do I get under the seat?
Open the side cover by the ignition and turn that hex looking lock counter clockwise, or down to unlock latch on seat.
If you don't have the emergency hex wrench see if you can use something else to turn it. I've never had to yet.
The wrench isn't turning it. Any idea what I could possibly use to turn it? 🤔
The wrench I have is from another honda. It's the same hex size but there's a groove on the adv that doesn't match up.
@@BermudaDrift Maybe a flat head screw driver where the blade is a similar size as one of the edges so it locks in place enough to turn it. Wish I could provide more, but I've never had to open it without the key. 🤔
Isn't it better just keep a spare battery in your pocket or in your motorbike frontbox, in case your smart keys battery fails rather then using that ID code and emergency key etc etc
Absolutely. I keep one in my wallet at all times. The front box is a good place too, yes. Better to be safe than sorry. I shared the code process for those who don't have a spare battery just in case. I hope I never have to use it because I'd have to reference my own video to remember how. :)
Heh! Heh! What could possibly go wrong? Time will tell!
The call back is likely for Asian markets where there are thousands and thousands of scooters probably hundreds of adv 150s,
Also do you mean tell me ,that you don't want a finger print enabled pistol to protect your home lol!!
Always thought these politicians that propose finger print guns, would they actually have their security, or law enforcement use those kinda of contraptions also lol
Iam only 44 years old, but trust me Iam old school as well!!
