<h1>2023 Honda Civic Keyless Entry Remote Fob (Smart Key)</h1> <p><font size="3"><b>Important Notice:</b> The 2023 model does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. This procedure must be performed by a certified technician using specialized diagnostic equipment. </font></p> <p><b><font size="3">Programming Procedure:</font></b></p> <ul> <li><font size="3"> Step 1: Locate a Qualified Technician Reach out to a professional automotive technician or authorized dealer with the tools and experience required to program modern smart key systems. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Select the Most Practical Service Option If your vehicle is operational, consider driving it to the technician’s facility. This may reduce service costs compared to requesting mobile assistance. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Prepare the Vehicle for Programming Ensure your vehicle is parked in an accessible, well-lit location and that the battery is fully charged. This allows the technician to begin work without interruption. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Bring Ownership Documentation if Needed If no working fobs are available, you may be asked to provide proof of ownership, such as your vehicle registration or title, before the programming process can begin. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: Technician Connects Diagnostic Tools The technician will connect a factory-grade diagnostic device to your vehicle’s onboard computer system. This allows secure access to the programming interface. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Program the New Smart Key Once connected, the technician will initiate the key programming sequence, registering the new remote so that it functions properly with your vehicle’s security and ignition systems. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Test Key Fob Functions After programming, the technician will test all remote functions—including lock, unlock, trunk release, and engine start—to ensure everything operates as expected. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 8: Program Additional Fobs if Applicable If you have more than one remote, bring all fobs to the appointment. Some systems require simultaneous programming to keep all keys active. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Complete System Verification Once all fobs are programmed, the technician will conduct a final system check to confirm full integration and functionality. </font></li> </ul> <p><b><font size="3">Additional Considerations:</font></b></p> <ul> <li><font size="3"> All Key Fobs May Need to Be Reprogrammed Together: In some cases, existing remotes will no longer function unless included in the same programming session. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Proof of Ownership May Be Required: This is especially important if all keys are lost or if you are programming a new remote without an original. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Work with an Experienced Professional: Choose a technician familiar with your vehicle’s smart key system to ensure proper setup and avoid compatibility issues. Refer to your owner’s manual or consult a certified automotive technician for further support.</font></li> </ul>
