2013 Honda Odyssey – Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Guide

Important Notice: The 2013 Honda Odyssey is equipped with a smart key system that does not allow onboard programming. A new remote fob must be programmed using specialized diagnostic tools by a trained automotive technician.

Programming Instructions:

• Step 1: Schedule service with an automotive professional who has the appropriate equipment to program smart key systems.
• Step 2: If the vehicle is operable, driving it to the service provider may reduce overall costs compared to arranging mobile service.
• Step 3: The technician will connect specialized diagnostic equipment to the vehicle's onboard system to program and synchronize the new smart key fob.
• Step 4: Some models may require all smart keys—both new and existing—to be present during the programming process.
• Step 5: After programming is complete, test each remote to ensure proper operation of locking, unlocking, and push-to-start functions.
