2016 Honda Odyssey – Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Guide
Important Notice: The 2016 Honda Odyssey features a smart key system that does not allow for manual or onboard programming. A new remote fob must be programmed using specialized equipment by a qualified automotive technician.
Programming Instructions:
- Step 1: Contact a professional technician who is experienced in smart key systems and has access to the required diagnostic tools for programming.
- Step 2: If the vehicle can be driven, bringing it directly to the technician’s location may help reduce service costs compared to requesting mobile assistance.
- Step 3: The technician will connect advanced diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s system to properly program and sync the new smart key remote.
- Step 4: All existing and new remotes may need to be present during programming, as some systems will erase keys that are not detected during the session.
- Step 5: After programming, test all remote functions—including locking, unlocking, and push-button start—to confirm successful setup.
