<h1>2003 Honda CR-V – Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming Instructions</h1> <p><font size="3"><b> Important Notice:</b> When you enter programming mode, all previously programmed remote fobs will be erased. To maintain functionality, you must reprogram every remote you intend to use during the same session. Additionally, each step must be completed within 5 seconds of the previous one. If the system times out, it will automatically exit programming mode and you’ll need to start over from the beginning. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><b>Programming Procedure:</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Insert the key into the ignition switch. Turn the ignition to the ON (II) position. Do not start the engine—this position powers the vehicle’s electronics. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on any one of the remotes. This signals the vehicle to begin the programming process. You may use an unprogrammed remote for this step. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position. This completes the first cycle in the programming sequence. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Repeat Steps 1 through 3 two more times using the same remote. You should complete three total cycles, all performed within 5 seconds between steps. This sequence activates programming mode readiness.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 5: After the third cycle, turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position again. At this stage, your vehicle is prepared to enter programming mode. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button once more on the same remote used in the previous steps. If successful, the power door locks will cycle (lock and unlock automatically). This confirms that you are now in programming mode. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Program each remote fob you wish to use by pressing the LOCK or UNLOCK button on each one individually. After pressing a button on each remote, the door locks should cycle to indicate successful registration. Program all remotes during the same session. Any remotes not included will be erased and will no longer function with the vehicle. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 8: When all remotes have been successfully programmed, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position. This will exit programming mode and save your changes. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Remove the key and test every remote fob. Verify that each one can lock, unlock, and perform any other remote-specific functions. </font></li> </ul> <p><b><font size="3">Helpful Tips:</font></b></p> <ul> <li><font size="3"> Gather all remotes before starting. Keep a steady pace and complete each step within 5 seconds. If the locks don’t cycle at Step 6, turn the ignition off and restart the process.</font></li> </ul>
