hey ive been reading all sections of the forums for a while and i have an 08 fit. Im wondering where i read on the forums the gen 1 or gen 2 how can i tell thanks

 

By reading the Vehicle Identification Number.

If it starts off JHMGD, then you have a 1st generation GD-chassis Fit.

If it starts off JHMGE, then you have a 2nd generation GE-chassis Fit.

In your case, you'd mostly likely have a 1st gen GD like I do.

 

oh wow thats easy.... thanks for the help and rep to you

i do have a gd

 

Yeah in the USA/Canada, the second generation started in the MY2009

 

thanks for the info do you no if its possible to get the sport model key with attached fob for the base model fit to work. i ask dealers and they say no but i thought id ask here as well thanks dont wanna start a new thread

 

What trim level is your Fit?

If its a Base model (LX in Canada I believe) it will need the keyless entry add on/accessory programmed.

VIN should start off like JHMGD384 if you have an auto or JHMGD374 you have a manual if memory serves me right.

 

i have the base model fit so im asssuming LX and i do have the keyless entry as i have a remote with lock unlock and panic, then my key is just a normal key that has immobalizer i think.....

edit: i forgot i have automoatic vin starts with JHMGD384

 

Ah I see. More than likely, it should work provided that the keyless entry system in your Fit is a Honda OEM/Accessory one. You'll need to either have a Sport key cut and programmed at the dealer (so it can communicate with the immobilizer system) or have one cut and transfer the immobilizer chip from your keyless entry fob and insert it into the Sport key (not responsible for damages or it not working though).

 

ya its OEM.... Ill have to make a post i guess asking if anyone has don it before i go to the dealer asking to do it when they say it isnt possible. Then waste my money lol. Anyways thanks for the help ill make a post and hopefully get mroe info

 

Just use the search function to see if anyone has done that. If you haven't found any answers, then post up the question.
