How to PROGRAM your KEY REMOTE for FREE

- HERE's HOW to program a new key remote on your Honda or Acura yourself for FREE!
This procedure was demonstrated on a 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 Honda Accord. The procedure should be similar for the Pilot, CR-V, Civic, Odyssey, Insight and Element as well as Acura EL, TL, TSX, RSX, MDX and RDX.
If your keyless remote is BROKEN, or you want a second set of keys, why pay the dealership to program a remote for you when you can do it yourself and save money? The procedure is quite easy and is as follows:
1. Insert your master key into the ignition, then it on, press the lock or unlock button once, then turn it back off.
2. Repeat step 1 two more times, without taking the key out of the ignition.
3. Turn the key to the on position for the fourth time, and press the lock button. You'll hear the locks cycle, indicating its in programming mode.
4. Press lock or unlock buttons on your first remote, followed by subsequent remotes that you want to program. The locks will cycle indicating it has accepted the remote.
5. Turn the key off and pull it out of the ignition. Test each remote to see if it works!
NOTES
Make sure you have all your remotes present when programming, as it will over ride your previously programmed remotes.
The system can store a maximum of 4 remote keys.
This procedure not to be confused with engine immobilizer programming, which is needed for a new key to start the engine. For that you'll need Honda HDS, a PCM code or a dealership / locksmith to program it for you.
New keys can be found on eBay. Look for keys with OEM electronics. A fresh key blade can also be bought on eBay, and the electronics can be transferred over. The keys in this video were sourced from junkyard cars.

Hey, i was able to do this and unlock and lock the car with the new keyfob, but my car won’t start and it flashes a green key light in the dash
@@matthewgarmendia7803 have to get it cut at dealership then it'll work
@@gregautomotivation is that expensive? Because the whole point of me getting the key was for it to be “cheap” haha
@@matthewgarmendia7803 you can try an SBB Pro2 which costs $60-150 depending on where you look. It's software updatable and sellers tend to list the software version it ships with. You can also buy keys from a site like TomsKey or another site that sell single vehicle key programmers (on first use it locks to the VIN of your car) with their keys.
This video is for if you've replaced the remote electronics (ex: dropped key in a pool, smashed, etc) but still have a the immoblizer RFID tag from your key. If you have the immobilizer tag, you can move it from the old key to the new one. But if you have a brand new key your options are to clone it (some hardware stores sell keys with programmable immobilizer tags and they clone your current key so the car thinks they're both the same key) or better, reprogram the car to accept your new key and delete the old key (dealership, some locksmiths, expensive pro tools, hit-and-miss SBB Pro2 or similar tools).
If you're getting a dealership or locksmith involved, they're going to program the remote for you anyway...
I tried this and still not able to get mine to work - it is the key that came with car. I replaced battery and reprogramming isn’t working. Any ideas? Thank you
Man you are short and to the point. Fantastic job in getting it edited down to only 79 seconds!
+mrjost55 yep I don't waste time. Follow me on CL for updates on my new ride: www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-3rd-gen-2006-2011/151614-3gs-2006-gs-300-350-430-460-450h-official-rollcall-welcome-thread-38.html#post9657515
speedkar99 already have ;)
+mrjost55 You like my T-shirt in the last part of the video? Haha :)
speedkar99 had to rewatch it, nice!
Dear
Your way it's the best easy way to program
Thank you
Can you please share with me how to rest the window opening by remote control
My driver side window been replaced since then this feature is not working. However closing the window by the key is good.
YOU ARE AWESOME!! No one has ever given such precise and to the point instructions as you have! I didn't have to keep rewinding your video. I heard your instructions without a bunch of other "words" (crap) crowding my brain. Thank you so much!
I wish everyone on youtube realized how to make short yet concise videos. This guy made a video barely more than 60s that got right to the point.
Thanks. You are right. Short and to the point is how it should be
Thank you for not wasting our time!
+JogAlong your welcome
Absolutely
I'm a college student, and you've helped me out big time! My locks are broken on my '05 Honda Pilot, so I relied on the key fob to lock/unlock. I only had one key fob that worked, so I only had one correct key to the car. Your instructions worked perfectly, now I finally have a spare key! Thanks again.
Glad it helped
I am so upset today, it didn’t work on my 2014 Honda pilot & it knocked out my key fob that worked 😭😭😭! Every video shows what you did but it didn’t work 😭!
I’ve been searching the internet for clear instructions on this for two days now and I finally found you. 👏🏾
Thank you. 🙏🏾
Excellent video, man. You made me realize that something that I thought was complex is actually very simple. Perfect.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO…. MY CAR DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMITTER IS BROKEN, (have been driving around for 6months using the keyhole to unlock)
AFTER TRYING THIS MY KEY FOB WORKS, HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE A NICE DAY ❤❤❤
Glad it helped!
Worked on a 2010 crv here, key version. Thanks a lot, the programming site said it was not self-programmable! Saved some serious dough!
Glad it helped.
There are other videos that skip an important step that you covered, and was minutes shorter! Thanks so much!
+swiftshift06 thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great video. Quick and informative. No "Hey guys so I woke up this morning and started thinking about when I was a boy and how we didn't have key fobs and once I had to reprogram my grandmother's old car key fobs and she had a broken hip and-"
Lol
Thank you...Yes, direct and to the point.. much appreciated. So annoying when you need assistance and have to listen to a bunch of unnecessary information, to get what you need.
This is what I'm talking about. No BS. Straight to the point.
+Jimmie Waverly Jr yep that's me! Why talk on and on for no reason! Let's get the job done.
Seriously the best video to program a key fob for a 2003-2007 Honda Accord. Straight forward and to the point! Thank you!!!!
Straight and to the point is my style!
speedkar99 do we need the main original key the car came with? or can i still program a key without the master one
@@Zytres You do not need the master key. My car came with one key fob and one standard (valet key) and somehow the fob was lost. I just purchased a new key fob on eBay for $35 from a locksmith who also cut the key and I did exactly what was done in the video. It worked and was easy to do. The only problem I have now is that the new key fob does not start the car. So now I have a valet key to start the car and a fob key to unlock/lock the car remotely. I was hoping I could avoid having to visit the dealership, but it looks like I will have to anyhow to get the key programmed to start the car. Sometimes technology can stink.
@@thepowerofyourvoicepodcast I have the same issue, with the new key not starting the car. I guess the immobilizer needs programming. Did you have to go to the dealer to fix this, or did you find a DIY method? What did the dealer charge for this?
@@tomnotebaart9086 I did the same thing as he did in the video, but the key itself has to be cut. I just ended up removing my old key and putting it inside the new key case, as my old case was not any good.
Dude! You just saved me $283! Dealer made it sound like a favor too. This worked like a charm!
Glad it saved you money !
@@alexanderwall1960 I'm trying to do that but it wont work I have a honda civic 08 trying to see if it would lock the doors after the 4th click without a spare key or uncut key .. wondering do I need the uncut key in the car while doing that??
Wow, well done! Thank you for being so clear, detailed, and right to the point! Very helpful. You should mention though that it only helps for the Remote - not the key transponder.
Thanks
My car honked like the end of your video. Manually lock and unlocked the driver door three times to stop the honking.
This is the only video that explains it properly for my 2007 honda accord 2.4l. All these other videos tell you basically how to only program 1 key fob or to do the same 4 turns per key fob which is wrong. Thanks for showing the proper way.
Thank for being concise with this tutorial!! TH-cam needs more creators like you!
If your key fob starts having terrible range (pretty much need to be right next to the car) then try this process before you replace the battery. Worked for me.
Oh really? It unprogrammed itself?
@@speedkar99 Not quite. It still worked, but I had to be within 10 feet of the car for it to work. I then read on a forum that reprogramming it may help. And it did!
Thank you.
John Wick of the tutorials.
Not one unnecessary word.
Glad you appreciate my video style
Dude, you are the best! You saved me hundreds of dollars! I ordered two keys from Amazon for $30 bucks. I took the electronic guts from the new keys and transferred them to my two old keys. The electronic parts of new key did not align with "Lock" and "Unlock" buttons on old keys so I took out the electronic circuit board from membrane and put in in my old membrane and back into my old key. I followed the steps and BAM!!!! Thank you!! Suscribed! BTW. It took my like 4 tries but it's because I think I messed up the correct order. I had to write it down. Thanks!
+arrosconpollo1 I'm glad my video helped!
I get the remotes even cheaper at the junkyard.
Will they start your car too?
You just saved me $65! I have a 2004 Accord. Thank you!!
+jane suesskind thanks glad it worked
I have a 04 Honda Accord as well and Honda wanted $166 spillers
To program my car 😩
Thank you, your video is the only one that got my accord to work properly after I changed the key in the second FOB.
Glad it work
did you use a new fob with your old key?
Short and to the point - the way I like it. I'm gonna give this a try.
Hope it helps
@@speedkar99 Would this method work for a new key that’s never been programmed to the vehicle. It’s a 2007 civic. Thanks
Wow after 2 years trying to figure this out I found your video. Thank you 🙏🏾
Great job. You should specify that the first key used was a key that already works - seems obvious but not to everyone.
It works even if all you have is a cut valet key as well
Thank you so much! it works, i programmed my Honda pilot 2005 remote key following your example, I was surprised it works. You saved money and time to and fro locksmith plus all the unimaginables that one encounters when you seek out locksmith. Bought that key from ebay 2 years ago, and couldn't find any affordable locksmith within my county to do. But with your help I did it with five minutes
Glad it helped and good to know it works on pilot.
Does it start your ignition ?
I used my spare key to turn from position 0 to position II and press the "lock" button on the new key (the key you want to program) every time you turn the spare key to position II until you hear the clicking sound on your doors.
Are you talking about the grey valet key that's all I have for my Honda Accord
Dude. That's it? LOL! Some people were charging like $40 or $50 to do it. A good friend of mine said he'll charge me $10. But I didn't know it was THIS simple lol I ordered one online, an OEM one (not aftermarket) and I just gotta get the pattern carved or whatever, since it came shaved clean. But I guess I'll just program it myself! Awesome video man!
+Ishieness thanks. I think your referring to key programming to start the car...that will cost you
Thanks for the advice. Process worked well - 2006 Honda Pilot.
Good to know Pilot works too
Sweet vid. Works on my UK 2007 Honda CRV. Only programs for alarm & central locking arm/disarm and not for starting the vehicle (doesn’t override the imobiliser)
Yes it's for remote only
your video is amazing. clear, concise, short and to the point. thank you for sharing
+greekboydinos thanks. Short and to the point is my style
Best tutorial on this. Done and done. I love how direct this video is. No need to say in a thousand words what can be said in a few.
works great!! saved me a trip to the dealer!!
Glad it helped
Awesome !!! It worked for my 2008 Honda CR V. Better than paying Honda a bunch of money.You made it quick & simple. Thanks
I'm glad it worked out. Thanks
Lol! I like that out take. Reminds me of when I tried to start the car, and my keys batter was flat.
Happened a few times while filming....
@@speedkar99 does this method programming also allow the car to be started with the new spares you picked up? (Granted that the correct key cut is for that vehicle)
The best teacher of this I've seen - out of five or more ... clear & to the point. Thx
Thanks for the video. For the other poor slobs out there like me that bought a used honda with only a valet key or two....the $12 replacement key with buttons can be programmed for the locks and hatch. ( CRZ ).
do these instructions, just hit the lock button 4 times on the new key.
I prefer blanks...one cant cut a used key . Half of the ACE Hardwares will do it for you. The other half want you to buy the key from them for $45.+-
What do I do
Man this was so useful! I hope you do more videos about car keys 🔑
Check speedkar100 channel I have one on immobilizer hacking
Amazing. Thanks for the quick and informative video! Can't believe they charge $85 to do this at dealerships (which doesn't include the cost of the remote of course). What a scam.
+Modeltown Music Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Literally took no time at all! So easy! Thank you so much! 🎉
Can you provide instructions for 2019 Honda Accord 1.5 sport with push to start? Thank you.
Blessings upon thee and thy house. I needed this, thank you.
What if you don’t have the original alarm can this still work with the door lock?
This worked like a charm, when two other videos did not have it right. Follow it exactly, including the ending instructions. Thank you!
Thanks glad it worked
Good video for programming locking but what about starting the vehicle ?? There is another chip which allows for starting the vehicle. This also needs programming . My local lock smith charges $60 to do this. Would like to know how I can do it
Yep the Immobilizer needs honda HDS software
Super helpful. Thank you so much. Saving $80 at the dealer
I'm glad I helped you save money. Thanks
Automotive Locksmith here. This will not program the immobiliser chip, and this process is only for older Hondas. Now remotes are programed at the same time as the transponder chip. Therefore you can't program the remote part yourself, and even if you did, your key would not start the car.
Hey samuel, I agree with you. After reprogramming, the buttons on my fob work however the key turn does not ignite the car. Any suggestions?? Thanks!
@@johnle5554 Yes John, call an automotive locksmith or locksmith in your area. They will program it for cheaper than dealer
Samuel Duval that the problem im having :( i had the key cut with unlock doesnt but it wont turn on my vehicle
question, I only have one FOB, but yet after the 4th try it will not click anymore.
Reason?
@@Sam-wp1zq my dealer wants $110 just to program it. zoiks!
Worked like a charm! Thank you so much for this video! I changed batteries in keyfob and it didn't work so I followed what you said and works perfectly!
What vehicle ?
Honda Accord sport 2014
I understand that this works for the remote unlock/lock functions. But does it also enable the key to drive the vehicle, assuming you get a locksmith to cut it to match the original? Or do you still need to go to a dealer to have them program it in order to drive the vehicle?
No. You need to get an OBD programmer from ebay. There's a youtube video on that. Just put obd programming for honda and you'll get a dumb video, but in the comments, there's a guy who provides details on how to do it.
No this is for the remote only as mentioned in the title. For the immobilizer you'll need a locksmith or dealer
@@speedkar99 shoot! I was was excited to avoid the dealer. Why would anyone want a fob only? I need to drive my car! Lol
the blooper at the end really made my day , been there done that. Thanks for this!
lol, the blooper clip was funny
Hey it happens to everyone
Thank you so much, I’ve just bought an used CRV that came only with one key and no spares. Im going to buy a remote and try this method to see if it works.
I have a 2010 CRV - I only have one key, would like to key a key with remote entry. If I purchase a key with remote entry, how do I program it since there are not buttons on the key that I have? Also does this process program the transponder chip or just the remote entry?
Just the remote entry as long as the key you have is a master key
1:14 😩😩 THIS WAS ME! And I felt so stupid, Until I saw your blooper now, I don’t feel so bad 😂🤗
Great video thanks for sharing!!
It did not work. Just bought a new FOB key for my 2004 Accord and tried the instruction in this video but didn't work. Can you please help me oout?
Daaaaang! Awesome short video! Straight to the point without all the other nonsense and stupid jokes. I watched this already 6 times. Lol thank youuuu!
Will this programming work for other models , like Honda Insight 2010?
It worked, programmed it to my Cr-v!! thanks a lot. 100% working
What year? Good to know for others
I lost my remote but still have a key. Can you still program it?
Thank so much, my alarm was going off none stop, great video.
+Agustin Cortes Glad it helped quell the alarm
Hey speedkar99, is this the same process for doing a 2016 Honda accord?
This also works after swapping the master window switch in the driver's door. The fob won't work unless it's reprogrammed using the steps in the video.
Thank you so much, worked like a charm!
I appreciate your no nonsense approach! I wish more instructional videos were like this! Keep it up!
Thanks!
I need a new key fob. How can I knew which mhz will work for my accord 2002, the 315 or 433 mhz? Thank you so much
Worked like a charm. Thanks for the help!
thanks! very informative. ha! love the outtake!
I'm sure I'm not the only one to accidentally activate the alarm
Great stuff! Short and sweet, and best of all worked like a charm. Thanks for saving me grief and money. Cheers!
Mine Wont Get It !
Thanks for the video! 2 remotes programmed in under a minute!
question: car key got stolen but i have one left, if i reprogram it will it prevent whoever that stole it from starting my car? i know they can get in but i just dont want them to start it.
Honda Dealership told me i just had to reprogram it and the thief cant start it. I have a 2009 honda pilot.
+Von Vanta Yes it will need to be reprogrammed by a dealer or locksmith, you can't do it yourself.
@@speedkar99 dont worry about it. thats what insurance is for.
It didn't work for me😢 Honda Fit 2015
can you use the Valet key and hold the new FOB you're trying to program?
+Wesley Johnson No, you need master key to program fobs.
Damnit
You are the man! Mine unlocks locks and starts the car, idk what's all the comments talking about hmm
+LiveWellFalafel great to hear. This procedure was only for programming the remote.
I love how he has a Toyota shirt on in a Honda
They both the same shit --> Honda or Toyota
Thank you for this you save me a lot of money for replacement key.Works in Honda Accord 2010 model.
Glad it helped
My new fobs link & lock / unlock but the key won't start the car??
I assume your honda accord 2005-2007, you have to duplicate transponder inside the key
@@pandatraveler8258 Will your "master" key still starts the car?
Unbelievable that ships will try and charge you for this, thanks for sharing your knowledge:)
Glad it helped
Can this process also work on a 2013 Honda Accord coupe LX-S??
wondering too. Did you get it to work?
@@jamescc2010 experience will tell you... give it a try and be the hope you're looking for.
Thank you for the correct info and straight to the point! Much appreciated! Worked like a charm
Can i clarify this is to program the remote only and to start the ignition you need to cut the key and program Honda HDS? I just bought a new key from e-bay so wondering what exactly I need to do with it for it to work - do this for the remote lock, cut key plus honda hds?
+Emma Terracini yes only for remote
Works perfectly as shown in video thanks
Doesn’t work I can’t lock my door when it’s on the on position
You probably didn't press it 4 time
Didn’t work for me either
Successful on a 2007 honda crv, thank you.
Good to know it works. Thanks
This does not start your car! You need to be aware of this! I've done this purchased a key of of Amazon, and it will unlock the doors, but this does not program the little Transponder Chip that Syncs up with the Steering column so these will never start your car from doing this!
I just have the valet key and that's exactly what I want will it still work
@@josephduran6383 I think so. My valet key started my car, it just wouldn't unlock the glove box. I'm not sure how yours is setup, but as long as the valet starts the car I think this should work. Swap over the transponder from old to new.
Listen I love this video straight to the point no beat around the bush ❤
I have 2007 Honda Accord EX and it does not work for me. I just installed a new driver side window switch. The new window switch is made in China. I tried to program the original remote but it doesn't work. Any idea?
I recall there's something you can swap out to avoid reprogramming the remote?
Now I understand the problem. The Chinese master window switch works on 313.8 - 315 MHz and this is the American standard for cars key remote. While my car works on Japan/Europe standard 433.9 MHz. So, I have to by the Chinese remote and program it.
@@speedkar99 There is a part that you can separate from the master window switch and this part is the receiver. Unfortunately, the plug in my original receiver is different than the one I bought from China. So, they can not be swapped.
@@AhmadAli-vl3iz same situation for me ( , windows operating but not door locks since replacement of master switch, 36$ on Amazon. Different lock , mirror (top part) plug on upper portion of the master switch, no solution (
@@vincentromanella4556 The master switch I bought is compatible with my car. The windows and door locks are operating, but the original key remote doesn't work with Chinese master switch. If you are living in America the key remote should work for you after programming.
Thank u very mich for making this. Worked like a charm! U saved me $300
Glad it helped
From what I understand, this only programs it for lock/unlock; you still have to have it programmed to actually start the car. How much would Honda charge to do this, or can you do it yourself, and how? I have a broken key that still starts the car, but the remote part went out, so is there a way to just swap out the chip itself? Thanks.
+computerkid1416 Yes you can swap the remote part separately from the immobilizer. You'll need Honda HDS to program new keys
What is Honda HDS?
chabat124 I'm having the same issue. If I order a new uncut key with buttons etc..can I just program the new key fob to lock/unlock and add my old cut key and chip to it?
My accord was repossessed and when I got it back, the key was disabled. Will this technique work to enable the key to start the car? I appreciate anyone's input.
The technique in this video won't program the chip that allows the car to start. The answers I have gotten everywhere I asked was locksmith or dealer. I called the locksmith - they weren't any cheaper than the dealer. But you can do no harm in trying the technique in this video.
Short and to the point! Great job sir!
You are welcome!
Speedkar99 I'm Very Easy Programming key with Honda
+Raions World The toy foxy - minecraft Wild SFM fnaf how do you do it?
make sure you have turn on and press Lock
Just tried on my ‘09 civic and no luck
very good video, bravo. No clutter
The problem can also be in the key. When you replace the battery there are two prongs that are metal that go to the immobilizer. If they are depressed the immobilizer in the key won't connect. You can open the key and bend back the metal so they make contact with the gold pad.
Thank you so much! After getting remote parts from Amazon, we were able to program our remotes very easily. Wow easy and very economical!!!
+Pam Jimenez glad it worked out for you. Much cheaper than dealership
Pam Jimenez did they start the car or did you still have to have a locksmith cut the key part?
@@Noname23489 ya noone ever answers this question lol
Oh my gosh! Thank you for direct and simple instructions and restrictions.
Thank you for not making this an 11 minute video.
Hi. Do the two replacement keys now allow engine to start? Does the chip in each replacement key get programmed and accepted at same time? My 'spare' replacement key fob will allow doors to be locked/unlocked, but won't allow engine to fire, it will only allow engine to 'crank'. It is a newly cut key, and the pattern on both keys look identical. The 'main' key fob does the doors and allow engine to run, but newly cut key can't start engine. Spare key fob does have a chip inside, but no idea if chip is working or not. My CRV is 2006 model, 2.2 Diesel CTDI incidentally. Can you offer any advice please? Cheers, Alan.
