Factory Keyless Entry Question?? - Honda Prelude Forum

Duhmoan · 12-17-2001, 04:31 AM

Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't all the 2000 models come with a keyless entry system? I bought my 5th gen used from a private seller and he didn't give me a keyless entry remote. Can the dealer just take a remote off the shelf and program it to my car? Or is it more involved than that, and how much does this cost? Would it be easier just to get a Viper installed for $149 since it's an alarm and it comes with keyless entry? That's all i really want anyway... the keyless. I'm scratching up my door everytime i stick in the damn key!
Thanks!

2000's come with keyless entry. When I bought my car, they forgot to give it to me and I didn't notice until the next when I went back to get it. I have a Viper alarm installed and the guy that installed it just "transferred" the keyless entry remote from the dealer to the new Viper remote.

It should come with keyless, I think they became standard in 99.

yes, standard feature starting 99

ok...so that means i have keyless entry. So any of you people know how much the dealer charges for a remote and programming?
Thanks

An arm and a leg.

Find a remote on Ebay for like $10.. and program it yourself.

I have two brand new remotes I'm selling in the parts classified's on this board for the Prelude. They are easy to program.

$25 bucks huh? Is it really that easy to program??? Well... with the holidays rolling around... not sure if this is a good time to send it... but i'm interested... not certain yet. Lemme get back to you. I'll let you know later on if i wanna buy. Thanks

ok... my friend just gave me his old 2000 Accord V6 EX remote for the keyless/alarm.

Here's my question now: Will this thing work if i program it to my 2000 lude? I don't have an alarm... but since my lude is a 2000, it does have a factory keyless system on it. So if it works... how do you program it???

Thanks!
