OK, I ordered 2 keyless entry keys and have followed the programming instructions below a few dozen times, but nothing is happening. What am I doing wrong? Is there something I need to do after each failed attempt to "reset" the key remote and/or the car? The lights are working on the remotes so I'm assuming it's not a battery issue. I just cannot get step #12 to happen, so it's not going into "programming mode." Any advice you can offer would be very welcome!!


1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II)
2. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock button.
3. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF.

4. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch ON (II).
5. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock button.
6. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF.

7. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch ON (II).
8. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock button.
9. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF.

10. Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch ON (II).
11. Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock button.
12. Confirm you can hear the sound of the door lock actuators within 1 to 4 seconds, then push the transmitter lock button again, or the code will not be stored.

13. Within 10 seconds, press the transmitter lock button on any other fob you wish to program. Confirm that you can hear the sound of the door lock actuators after each transmitter code is stored.

14. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and remove the key.

15. Confirm proper operation with the transmitters.

 

the only thing i can say is to make sure you turn the key to the correct position, i made that mistake. i too thought i was doing it correctly, but not.

 

I have the same problem on my 2010 base. I hear so many success stories it's very frustrating not being able to make this work.

I've tried everything I can think of. Replacing the battery on the remote, disconnecting the battery of the car and reconnecting... Ugh.

Anyone with troubleshooting advice is greatly appreciated. I cannot make this work. I have tons of alarm experience too, I've set up window roll up modules, trunk poppers, remote start systems... Not being able to make this basic keyless entry fob work is really a blow to my ego

HELP!!!

Is there a fuse that could be missing? Something the dealer took out when they pulled the harness for that aftermarket POS alarm they have in the car when you buy it and they pull out when you don't want it?

 

It turns out the problem with getting the keyless working with my 2010 Base Fit was the remotes we ordered. The ones we bought were not the original manufacturer made. Where did you buy your remotes? We returned the first set of remotes and ordered from College Hills Honda. It worked like a charm--it literally took 30 seconds to program once we had the right remotes.

 

Damn... Ok well I guess I need to order another remote... What a waste of money.

Edit: I'm so dumb I bought the 08 key...

 

I have an 08 Fit key for sale... Haha. I don't have enough posts to post in the for sale section though.
