Remote key fob for BASE fit?
I just installed the remote keyless entry kit from Honda onto my 2008 base fit. It's cool and all, but I don't like having the remote separate from the key. It makes the keychain too bulky.
Has anyone figured out a way to take a sport model key fob and program it to work with the Base model keyless entry kit?

NOTE: You will need to move the immobilizer chip from your old key to the new FOB if you do this.
It should be something like this according to people on here that have programmed them.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER (KEYFOB):
NOTE: It is important to maintain the time limits between the steps. Make sure the doors, the hood and the hatch are closed.
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.

First I'd recommend ordering some key blank fobs. Either off ebay or from a honda site. The dealer should be able to cut them using your VIN number. You could program them before cutting to make sure they work.

So the programming is the same for the sport key fob as it is for the base model accessory keyless kit? Hmmmmm...my local dealership told me it wouldn't work. I may have to try it
