Hi,

I lost my key chain, so did the keyless entry for Honda Odyssey. I
ordered a keyless entry from eBay. It didn't come up instruction. I
called the three local dealers. They told me it would cost me at least
1 hour to re-program it. I think it is a typical rip-off, before the
Honda main office once told me it should only take 5 min. However, the
main office didn't have the instruction, but local dealer had it. So I
am trapped.

Some eBay sellers ship the keyless entry with the instruction,
unfortunately not mine. Does anyone there have the instruction? Please
share it with me. I can be contacted at charlysmith2002@hotmail.com

Thank you very much,

Charlie

Takes about 30 seconds to do.

What year is your Ody?  I reprogrammed my '98 using instructions from
the dealer when I bought the remote.  (Bought the car used and it only
came with one remote.  Max usable is two.)  The procedure is obscure
but it sure didn't take an hour.  With practice I bet it could be done
in under a minute.

When you talk to the dealer don't talk to the service writer, go to the
parts desk.  Many of them will copy the instruction page for you gratis.
The service writers don't get paid unless they sell you some work.

The procedure is also contained in the service manual that you can buy at
www.helminc.com.

Hi, this is wonderful. I will try it tonight.
I have one more question. How to disarm the security system? I never
turned it off.

Thank you so much.

Use the remote that you didn't loose. We know you still have one working
remote or you would have bought TWO off eBay.

Otherwise, the dealer is correct . . .You probably have to take it to
them, possibly behind a tow truck, right?

You didn't mention how you're going to replace the transponder key, and
get it reprogrammed . . As far as I can see that's a 'dealer only'
function on a North American '03. I just bought a couple transponder
keys off eBay, but still have to go to the dealer to get them 'enrolled'
to the vehicle. I'll also have them cut 'by the numbers' so they will be
perfect clones of the factory keys.

If you RTFM, you'd have found that unlocking the car from the outside
with the key disarms the security system.

And that locking the car from the outside with the key arms the security
system.

It works. Thank you all very much.
