<h1>2004 Honda CR-V – Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming Instructions</h1> <p><font size="3"><b> Important Notice:</b> Entering programming mode will erase all previously stored remotes. Any remote fobs not reprogrammed during the same session will stop functioning. Additionally, each step must be completed within 5 seconds of the previous one. If you take too long, the system will exit programming mode, and the process must be restarted 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 step simply activates the vehicle’s electrical systems. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Press either the LOCK or UNLOCK button on one of your remote fobs. This signals the system to prepare for remote recognition. You can use a new, unprogrammed remote for this step.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 3: Turn the ignition back to the LOCK (0) position. This completes the first cycle of 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 perform a total of three complete cycles. Be sure to complete each step within 5 seconds of the previous to maintain timing. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: After the third cycle, turn the ignition to the ON (II) position once more. Your CR-V is now ready to enter programming mode. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the same remote again. If done correctly, the door locks will cycle automatically (lock, then unlock), confirming that the vehicle is in programming mode. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on each remote you want to program. Wait for the door locks to cycle after each press. This confirms the system has successfully registered the remote. You may program up to three remotes. Any remote not programmed during this session will be erased and must be re-added.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 8: Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position to exit programming mode. The system will save the remote data at this point. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Remove the key and test each remote fob. Check for full functionality—lock, unlock, and any other supported features should now work correctly. </font></li> </ul> <p><font size="3"><b>Helpful Tips:</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Keep all remotes nearby and ready before starting the process. If the locks do not cycle in Step 6, the procedure was unsuccessful—turn off the ignition and repeat from Step 1. Maintain a steady pace to avoid timing out between steps.</font></li> </ul>
