Yeah, I tried...nada. What year is your car?

"On" is II position, right?? "Off" is I position, right?

looks like it..flips quicker than i thought it would too

i drive an 07 si sedan.try both your original keys.turn it to the "on" position wait 3-4 chimes and press the lock.repeat that 3-4 times and your locks should cycle.i actually went out and did it.found out that if you get the locks to cycle and you don't program that none the remotes work.so i went and did them again,everything works fine.

av911 · 03-20-2008, 12:01 PM

Nah, still don't work. Any chance you can video tape the process?

GlxyGry06Si · 03-20-2008, 12:09 PM

so does this work for 06+ si's?

tcd2004 · 03-20-2008, 05:58 PM

i'm very surprised a DIY has not been made yet....any takers?

snarlinggoathead · 03-20-2008, 10:33 PM

i don't have a video cam.i'll have to check with the brother-in-law.when you push the lock button are you pushing the one thats on the remote in the ignition?

Yep.

A real Honda Tech · 03-23-2008, 08:41 PM

to program the keys to lock and unlock: put the key in the ignition. You have to put the key in the "key on engine off" position 4 times. Each time you go into this position hit the unlock button. You should hear the door lock actuator make noise. After the fourth time hit unlock,lock,unlock. Then take the key out and see if it works.

well i talked to rev and he thinks i fried my transponder when trying to relocate it so i just have the ebay case sitting around. doubt i'll use it. pm me if someone wants to take it off my hands. i'll post it up in the for sale section tomorrow.

***FijiDeez*** · 03-24-2008, 12:25 AM

The key fob/flip is one thing I actually don't love about the RDX. Just got it yesterday and its heavy and the flipping is kinda annoying. IMHO anyway.

I tried it a bunch of times, still can't get the actuator to sound.

It is the ebay one. $27 bucks to do the conversion. Although I prefer the TL silver buttons. It looks more sleek. But you can't argue the price. $27 is cheap.

the keys have chip in them. the green light means that key isnt programmed for your car. read this entire thread before you ask any more questions.

**ethlar** · 04-09-2008, 12:07 PM

you have to move the transponder, its too far away and the immobilizer is not finding it and so its killing the fuel flow to keep the thief from stealing the car

what babaki said, im too slow
