Lost your key fob or need to program a new one for your 2004 Honda CRV? You’re in the right place. Programming your key fob yourself can save you time and money compared to dealership services. This guide provides straightforward, step-by-step instructions to program your 2004 Honda CRV key fob quickly and easily at home. Before you begin, remember that this process will erase all previously programmed remotes, so you’ll need to reprogram all of your key fobs at the same time.
To program your 2004 Honda CRV key fob, follow these instructions carefully:
-
Turn the ignition to the ON position (II). This is the position right before you start the engine. The dashboard lights should be illuminated.
-
Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on one of your key fobs. It doesn’t matter if the key fob is already programmed or brand new for this step.
-
Turn the ignition to the LOCK position (0). This is the position where the car is completely off.
-
Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times, using the same key fob you used in step 2. Make sure you are using the same key fob and repeating the sequence consistently.
-
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (II) again.
-
Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the same key fob one more time. If you’ve successfully entered programming mode, you should hear the power door locks cycle (lock and unlock). This confirms you are ready to program your remotes.
-
For each key fob you want to program, press the LOCK or UNLOCK button. After pressing a button on each key fob, you should hear the door locks cycle again, indicating that the system has accepted the remote’s signal. Do this for every key fob you wish to use with your 2004 Honda CRV, including the original ones.
-
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position (0) to exit programming mode. This final step saves the programmed key fobs into your vehicle’s system.
-
Test each key fob to ensure they are working correctly. Try locking and unlocking the doors, as well as any other functions your key fob may have, like panic button or trunk release.
If you encounter any difficulties during the programming process, double-check each step and ensure you are completing each step within 5 seconds of the previous one. Timing is crucial for successful key fob programming.
