It makes sense if it's your mother in law.

 

Oh god no - you want to lock her out, not in!

 

Lol. Right. Keep her from entering the car and then say to her, "My Fit is GO!!!!" and then tear off! Lol.

 

Cute!

I really had tried both sequences mentioned, well before cocktail hour started (4:31PM MST).

There must be a Honda document listing even the "hidden" variants of these procedures.

Thanks for your help in this, by the way, and that of 'Whats A Fit?'

 

Finally got mine to work!

For some reason, it only took two clicks to set to lock/unlock all doors - maybe because my car had initially been set with the auto lock deacitvated...

 

worked perfect for me, thanks! I was so annoyed by the options in the owners manual that i just disabled the system entirely. Re enabled and followed Crystal5MT's steps and now it works flawlessly!!

 

Glad to provide continued assistance! I think Honda should revise the owner's manual on this feature.

 

I could never get it to work until after I had disabled the system as well. Hmmm...

 

I just went to lunch and tried it. Here's what worked for me.

- Insert key and turn forward 2 clicks (don't turn engine on).

- Press and hold the door lock button to its "unlock" position.

- After 5 seconds you'll hear a click. DON'T LET GO YET! Wait another 5 seconds until you hear another click, then immediately pull the key out.

I started the car, drove it around the garage and back to my space, put it in Park and all the doors were unlocked. Woohoo!

 

Looks like you just copied and pasted what I originally wrote way back:

- Insert key and turn forward 2 clicks (don't turn engine on).

- Press and hold the door lock button to its "unlock" position.

- After 5 seconds you'll hear a click. DON'T LET GO YET! Wait another 5 seconds until you hear another click.

You're done.

Either that or we think remarkably alike.

 

Yeppers, copied and pasted, but added the extra part about immediately removing the key. If I didn't do that, it didn't work.

 

Yes, that point is, pardon the pun, "key" in this process. Maybe this thread should be a sticky.

 

Totally agree. Sticky!

 

Just tried your method and it worked perfectly first time, thanks Crystal!

 

Ditto for me.

Make sure you take the key out of the ignition at the end of the sequence, I didn't do that the first time and it didn't work.

They should really fix the manual

 

But the instructions for this aren't even in the manual! There's instructions on how to do it for the driver's door, but not all of them.

 

Hence they should fix the manual, because I think they list it as working for the driver's side door, but it ends up working for all of them

 

It seems to me that the manual is explaining the setup for just the driver's door, and that the settings for the drivers door are made by waiting for one click.

The methods we've been using here are setting up all the doors, by waiting for two clicks.

That may have something to do with it.

 

Ditto, many thanks!!

 

hi i'm new here and glad to find your site with loads of info.

mine is an 08 ( 09 model here in the philippines) what we have here are CBU units from thailand. Our manual says the same procedures for the auto lock/unlock and we have the same setup as you guys there. unfortunately i tried endless times to have it lock/unlock automatically but to no avail. i cant even hear any clicks.

is there any specific fuse or relay for this? or probably another method? Im thinking that probably they disabled this feature four our country. ours also doesnt chirp when you press the lock/unlock buttons from the remote.

thanks for your help
