2012 Honda Odyssey – Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Guide

Important Notice: The 2012 Honda Odyssey features a smart key system that does not support manual onboard programming. Programming a new remote fob must be completed using specialized diagnostic equipment by a qualified automotive technician.

Programming Instructions:

• Step 1: Arrange service with a trained automotive professional who has access to the necessary smart key programming tools.
• Step 2: If the vehicle can be driven, transporting it to the technician’s location may help reduce potential service charges.
• Step 3: The technician will use computerized diagnostic equipment to access the vehicle’s electronic control system and pair the new smart key fob.
• Step 4: Some systems may require all currently functioning smart keys to be present during the session to complete programming successfully.
• Step 5: After programming, test all smart key functions—such as lock, unlock, and engine start—to confirm proper operation.
