<h1>2000 Honda CR-V – Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming Instructions</h1> <p><font size="3"><b> Important Notice:</b> When entering programming mode, all previously stored remote codes are erased. You must reprogram every remote you want to use during the same session, or those not included will stop working. Also, you must complete each step within five seconds of the previous step. If the system does not detect input within that time, it will exit programming mode automatically and you’ll need to start over.</font></p> <p><font size="3"> <b>Programming Procedure:</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Insert your key into the ignition switch. Turn the ignition to the ON (II) position. Do not start the engine—this position activates the vehicle's electrical system. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Press either the LOCK or UNLOCK button on one of your remote fobs. This tells the system to begin the programming sequence. You can use a new, unprogrammed remote at this step. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Turn the ignition switch back to the LOCK (0) position. This completes one cycle of the programming trigger process. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Repeat Steps 1 through 3 two more times, using the same remote fob. You should complete a total of three full cycles, all within five seconds between steps. This repetition confirms to the system that you intend to enter programming mode. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: After completing the third cycle, turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position again. The vehicle should now be ready to accept new remote codes. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button again on the same remote fob. If the door locks cycle (lock then unlock automatically), this confirms that the system has entered programming mode successfully. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on each remote you wish to program. Wait for the power door locks to cycle after each press, indicating the system has accepted the remote. You may program up to three remotes during this session. All remotes must be programmed now, or they will not work later. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 8: When all desired remotes have been programmed, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position. This exits programming mode and saves all remote codes into the vehicle’s memory. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Remove the key from the ignition and test each remote. Check that every fob can successfully lock and unlock the doors. If equipped, verify additional functions such as panic or rear hatch release. </font></li> </ul> <p><font size="3"><b>Helpful Tips:</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Keep all remotes within reach before starting the process. Perform the steps at a steady pace—no more than five seconds between actions. If the locks do not cycle when expected, turn the key to LOCK (0) and begin again from Step 1.</font></li> </ul>
