Keyless remote replacements

    Have any of you guys ordered a replacement keyless remote online instead of
    purchasing one from a Honda dealer? If so, was your experience a positive
    one? Did you end up doing the programming yourself with instructions
    included with your online purchase?

    I've checked out some replacements online and many of them offer programming
    instructions with them. Before I order a replacement keyless remote online,
    I'd like to get some feedback here to see if there are any companies out
    there to avoid for sure. Or better yet, which one(s) have you had positive
    experiences with?

    Thanks in advance!

  2. Yep. http://www.keylessride.com

    It's not hard to program, not on a Honda.

    Thanks! I'll give them a try soon. Their website was one of the many that I
    visited this week while searching for a trustworthy source.

    I'd like to do the programming myself, and it sounds as though it will be
    relatively simple to do.

    Once again, I appreciate the feedback.

  4. On a Honda, it's dirt simple. What you're doing is:

    a) confirming that you are the owner of the car, and

    b) telling the car to recognize the remote that you're holding in your
    hand.

    Hondas can recognize up to 4 remotes.

    You don't program the remote to run the car; you program the car to
    recognize the remote as legitimate.
