<h1>2008 Honda Pilot Keyless Entry Remote Fob</h1> <p><font size="3"><strong> Important Notes:</strong> This procedure only programs the remote functions (lock/unlock/trunk). You can program up to 3 remotes in the same session. Complete each step within 5 seconds of the previous one. All doors, including the trunk/hatch, must be completely closed before beginning. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Step-by-Step Programming Instructions:</strong> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Prepare the Vehicle Sit in the driver’s seat. Close all doors and the rear hatch/trunk securely. Have all remotes you wish to program on hand. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Begin the Programming Cycle Insert the key into the ignition. Turn it to the ON position (position “II” – dash lights on). Within 5 seconds, press the Lock button on the remote for about 1 second, then release.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 3: Turn Off the Ignition Turn the key to the OFF position (position “I” – dash lights off). </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Repeat the Cycle Repeat Steps 2 and 3 a total of four times (ON → Lock → OFF, repeated 4 times). Each ON/OFF cycle must be completed within 5 seconds of the last. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: Enter Programming Mode On the 4th time turning the key to ON, press the Lock button again. The door locks will make a clunking sound (they will not lock/unlock). This sound indicates the system is now in programming mode. Do not turn the key off. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Program Each Remote Within 5 seconds, press the Lock button on the first remote for about 1 second. The locks will cycle (lock/unlock) to confirm successful programming. Repeat this step for each additional remote (up to 3 total), pressing the Lock button within 5 seconds of the previous one. Each time you press a remote’s Lock button, the locks should cycle once to confirm. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Exit Programming Mode Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove it. Step out of the vehicle and close the driver’s door. Test each remote to ensure all programmed functions work correctly. </font></li> </ul> <p><font size="3"><strong>Additional Tips: </strong></font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Battery Check:</strong> Be sure each remote has a fresh battery properly installed. Timing Matters: Perform all steps quickly. If the system exits programming mode, restart from Step 1. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Key Start Function:</strong> These steps program the remote buttons only. If you need to program the transponder (key start) function, specialized equipment is required. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Trunk/Hatch Release:</strong> Hold the trunk/hatch button for 2–3 seconds to activate after programming.</font></p>
