How to Program a 2003 Honda Civic's Keyless Entry Remote

Program your keyless entry remote yourself.

Remote keyless entry systems come standard with most Honda Civic models after 1998. Losing a remote, breaking one or just needing an extra can lead to an expensive visit to a locksmith or mechanic. This is unnecessary, since a new remote can be purchased online and you can do the programming yourself in less than five minutes. This will save you both money and time. Programming your own remote is a very simple procedure.

Things You'll Need

• Keyless entry remote
• Ignition key

Instructions

1. Sit in the Civic and close all of the doors. Unlock all doors and insert the key into the ignition.

2. Turn the key to the "on" position and push either the lock or unlock button on the keyless entry remote. Turn the key back to the "off" position. Repeat these steps two more times, ending with the key turned to the "off" position.

3. Turn the key to the "on" position and push the lock button on your keyless entry remote. Push the lock button on any other remote that you need to program at this time within 10 seconds.

4. Turn the key back to the "off" position to exit programming. Exit the vehicle and test your remotes.
