Does anyone know how to program these things?? I recently got one on ebay (It's exactly the same as the remote I'm using now, including the FCC code) and the instructions he gave me don't work.. Will I have to take it to the dealer?

 

Yup. They have to enable the cars alarm system to accept new codes. The remotes will actually both end up being reset to your car's specific code.

 

How do you make the keyless remote entry make the car alarm audibly acknowledge the car being locked or unlocked? My car locks but the alarm no longer beeps so I never really know as I am walking away if the alarm is on

 

Try this

Here are the instructions, Ron.

1) Unlock Doors
2) Turn ignition key to "ON" position (II)
3) Press the "LOCK" or "UNLOCK" button on the remote
4) Turn the ignition key to the "OFF" position (0, I)
5) Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position
6) Press lock or unlock
7) Turn key to off position
8) on position
9) lock or unlock
10) off position
11) on position
12)lock or unlock - doors should cycle to indicate successful programming. If you only have one remote, turn ignition to off or don't touch anything. if you have 2+ remotes, go to 13:
13) lock on each transmitter that you need to program

*Steps 2-12 must be performed within 5 seconds of each other. Step 13 can be performed within 10 seconds of step 12. If it doesn't work, give me a yell

 

YuKnoMe, just hold the lock and trunk release buttons down at the same time. The led on the remote will blink one time when the audible alert is set, and well blink two short fast blinks for when the audible alert is turned off. This information can also be found in your owners manual...wow..deja vu i swear i said this before. hehe

hope it helps!

 

I ended up getting it done at the dealer.. It litterally took the guy about 2 minutes and didn't cost me anything

 

i tried holding down the unlock and trunk and nothing happens. my led doesnt blink. can someone help?

 

You have to hold the Lock and Trunk buttons

Thansk for searching though

 

Oh geesh. DUH! I can't beleive I was trying the wrong buttons. Thanks for looking out.

 

 

i have a 97 CL, and i got 4 keys (all honda not acura's) and then I got a new keyfob.. (works already) but the option key doesnt pop the trunk?? kinda lost did the CLs not have pop back then?

 

btw was looking at ebay then my remote, my remote says option instead of the trunk popped picture, im sure they are still they same though

 

Trunks do pop, it's the only way to get into the trunk from the outside of the car

 

ya i know that, because every time i need to put my backpack back there im opening the car

 

I meant our trunks pop by the remote, sorry wasn't trying to sound like a dick, I worded that wrong

 

i have a universal remote one button fits all.....................

 

well i guess i could try reprogramming to specs if that doesnt work acura dealer?

unlock/lock - panic work fine

 

did u hold the option button down until the trunk opens?

 

do you have to hold it or just press it iv tried both ill try holding it for a few seconds though again...

 

you have to hold it down, but at most 10 secs.

 

yep 3 seconds for mine.. dad's 06 vette is the same way.. thanks lol I woulda read the owners manual but didn't get one with the car

 

i got one yesterday at the dealership near my work. $60 with tax, he had a porter go out with me and program the thing, took HER 2 seconds, she flicked the key and pressed the buttons like no tomorrow. everything works awesome!
