<h1>2005 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 remotes will be erased. To retain functionality, you must reprogram all remotes during the same session. Additionally, each step must be completed within 5 seconds of the previous one. If this timing is not followed, the system will exit programming mode automatically, and the process must be restarted. </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. Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. Do not start the engine—this activates the vehicle’s electrical system only. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on one of the remote fobs. This begins the recognition process. You may use a new, 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 of the programming process. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Repeat Steps 1 through 3 two additional times using the same remote. You must perform a total of three full cycles. Complete each step within 5 seconds of the last to remain in sequence. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: After the third cycle, turn the ignition to the ON (II) position again. At this point, the vehicle should be ready to enter programming mode. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the same remote used in the previous steps. If done correctly, the door locks will automatically cycle (lock then unlock), confirming entry into 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 pressing each remote to confirm it has been accepted. Be sure to include all remotes you want to use. Any remote not programmed during this session will be erased from memory. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 8: Turn the ignition to the LOCK (0) position to exit programming mode. This saves all programmed remote fobs to the vehicle’s system. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Remove the key and test each remote fob. Confirm that lock, unlock, and any other features (such as panic or hatch release) function correctly. </font></li> </ul> <p><font size="3"><b>Additional Note:</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">This procedure programs the remote functions only. If your key includes a transponder chip or integrated blade, cutting the key and programming the immobilizer portion must be performed separately using specialized equipment.</font></li> </ul>
