Is your 2006 Honda CRV key fob no longer working, or did you get a replacement and need to program it? Don’t worry, programming your key fob for your 2006 Honda CRV can be done easily at home without needing a trip to the dealership. This guide will provide you with clear, step-by-step instructions to program your 2006 Honda CRV key fob quickly and efficiently.
Before you begin the programming process for your 2006 Honda CRV key fob, it’s important to understand a couple of key points. When you enter programming mode, the system will erase all previously programmed key fobs. This means you will need to reprogram all of your key fobs, not just the new one. Also, it’s crucial to complete each step within 5 seconds of the previous one to prevent the system from exiting the programming mode prematurely. Make sure you have all your remotes ready before starting.
Here’s how to program your 2006 Honda CRV key fob:
-
Turn the Ignition to ON (Position II): Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position (II). This is the position right before you would start the engine. The dashboard lights will illuminate.
-
Press the LOCK or UNLOCK Button: Take one of your key fobs (it can be a new, unprogrammed remote or an existing one) and press either the LOCK or UNLOCK button.
-
Turn the Ignition to LOCK (Position 0): Turn the ignition switch back to the LOCK position (0), which is the position where you can remove your key.
-
Repeat Steps 1-3 Two More Times: Repeat the sequence of turning the ignition to ON (II), pressing the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the same key fob, and then turning the ignition back to LOCK (0) two more times. You should be doing this a total of three times in a row using the same key fob button.
-
Turn the Ignition to ON (Position II) Again: Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (II) one last time.
-
Press the LOCK or UNLOCK Button and Listen for the Locks: Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the same remote you have been using. If you have successfully entered programming mode, you should hear the power door locks cycle (lock and then unlock). This confirms that your 2006 Honda CRV is now in key fob programming mode.
-
Program Each Remote: Now, take each key fob you want to program, including the original ones and any new replacements. Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on each remote. After pressing a button on each remote, you should hear the door locks cycle again, indicating that the system has accepted and programmed that specific remote.
-
Turn the Ignition to LOCK (Position 0) to Exit: Once you have programmed all of your desired key fobs, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position (0) to exit the programming mode. The door locks may cycle one last time to confirm exit.
-
Test Your Remotes: Finally, test each of your programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly. Press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons to verify that they control the door locks of your 2006 Honda CRV.
By following these straightforward steps, you can easily program your 2006 Honda CRV key fob yourself, saving time and money. If you encounter any issues or need a replacement key fob, remember to visit Keylessentryremotefob.com for a wide selection of key fobs and remotes.
