2018 Honda Odyssey – Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Guide

Important Notice: The 2018 Honda Odyssey is equipped with a smart key system that does not support manual or onboard programming. A new remote fob must be programmed using specialized equipment by a qualified automotive technician.

Programming Instructions:

• Step 1: Schedule service with an experienced technician who has access to the appropriate diagnostic tools for smart key programming.
• Step 2: If the vehicle is drivable, consider transporting it to the technician’s facility to reduce service fees associated with mobile appointments.
• Step 3: During the session, the technician will connect diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s system to register and synchronize the new smart key fob.
• Step 4: In some cases, all previously programmed remotes must be present during the process, as keys not included may be erased from the system.
• Step 5: After programming is complete, test each remote to confirm full functionality, including locking, unlocking, and push-button start.
