How to Install OEM Keyless Entry in 2002 - 2004 Honda CR-V LX

[@mithikx]

Thanks for the video guide. I installed mine on a 2002 year CR-V LX (the first year for 2nd gen in the US) There was only 1 difference from the video, the plastic dash piece was different, there was no door for the screw, so no place to put your fingers in to pull the storage piece out. To get that piece of plastic out on a 2002 year model, remove the screw. Then on the deepest part of the cubbie hole place your hand in and push up on the top of it, that should dislodge the piece a bit. From there it's wiggling it out and pulling it free, if you still have the rubber mat that goes into that storage hole try using that for some grip. Completely skipped disconnecting the battery and the revving stuff and it worked fine.

This video was a godsend. I have a 2003 LX without keyless, and my lock cylinders were loose so my key only worked in one of my doors, and who knows how long that was going to last before I can't unlock any of the doors with the key. I started to call around to locksmiths who all told me they didn't have the parts to fix it. But then I found this, ordered the part and slapped it in, and a couple of minutes and $100 later I can lock and unlock my car now no problem. And I didn't have make a dozen more phone calls to maybe have a guy come out for a couple hours and charge me a couple hundred dollars!

[@DylanClarkSallee]

I’m so glad you found it helpful! Funnily enough, that’s exactly why I did it to my car as well - my lock cylinder was all screwed up, and after not much longer I wasn’t going to be able to get in the car!

[@cfws01]

Thanks so much! Been driving my CRV for 20 years and did not know about this. I ordered it and just installed it, all by following your video, and it works great 😊

[@brokendowndrone]

I've looked for the green transponder connector 5 times before watching your video. There it is, hidden in the taped up wires. THANK YOU! I just went out and found mine. Transponder installation next! Cheers

[@DylanClarkSallee]

brokendowndrone Glad to help! Hope the install went well - having keyless entry makes such a big difference :)

On 2005 and 2006 model CR-V's, the green connector is to the left of the steering column, up inside the dash. The lower panel of the dash, on the driver's side (the panel that has the 1/4 turn knob in it, and then pull that plastic panel straight down to remove it) has to be removed. Then "you" lay on the floor, and look up under the dash, and toward the outer left "wall" area of the body. The OMRON sensor unit is probably already there, and plugged in. There will be a 2nd, longer, bright green, connector plug, probably still tied to the harness with blue tape. That longer plug is for the factory alarm system control module, which was an optional accessory. The OMRON sensors came in 2 FCC codes: OUCG8D-380H-A, which appears to be the standard version for 2002-2004 CR-V's. OUCG8D-380H-B, which appears to be the standard version for the 2005 and 2006 CR-V's, and it's the version that is in the Honda Kit that is used in this video. I don't know if remotes for the "A" FCC code can be paired with a "B" FCC code OMRON sensor, or vise-versa.

@@austinado16 thank you for the information!

[@panamacz75]

Great video. I did the whole process in about 20 minutes and replaced the drivers side window master switch at the same time. Super easy.

[@anthonydilligaf823]

Thanks for the video. I got the box out and found i had a transponder already. Thx for the video!

[@aaronv5091]

Great video! Love that manual transmission on your CRV too!

[@stevewiersema348]

Perfect! Worked like a charm, thanks!

[@JPWarrior02]

Picking parts out of an 06 EX. I wonder if that module would work with the OG FOBs retrofitted to an 04 LX.

[@DylanClarkSallee]

Yeah, probably would. I think there is a part number directly on the module that you could compare - I believe it’s the same for that entire generation of CR-Vs. You’d need to do the re-learning procedure to associate the existing fobs with the new transceiver - I think the instructions are in one of those docs in the description.

[@Orderoachinis]

Will this work for crv ex rather than lx? Is there anything different with the wiring that you know of?

[@txcolnago]

You rock dude. Thank you for the link every thing work in my 2002

[@brantwilcott8583]

Thanks for posting this, you rock!

[@isaackim1234]

Any other video do you have that is not oem? I had to buy a cheaper one bc of budget, but wiring seems very difficult for a beginner. Thanks~

[@dannygzz9286]

Does this work for the Honda CRV EX ?

[@MichelleR.Richardson]

You are hilarious! Love your video!

[@hoganhogan3]

I placed the flat head screw driver in one of the slots and twisted and panel came off.

[@PhatBoyiee]

Great video and quite amusing. Wonder how many people actually followed your steps? 😅 everyone the remotes are preprogrammed. Its plug and play.

[@OCDrip]

Hello, does this work on a Honda CRV 2nd gen EX as well?

[@DylanClarkSallee]

@@OCDrip I’m not sure! I’d recommend going into the dash as outlined in the video and see if you can find that taped connector.

[@wesleymiller4856]

The link is outdated or something I can’t find it I need one on my crv my key won’t work on the driver door but it works on the trunk can u resend or another link to it please

[@hondaaccord9303]

Do you know if this will work for a 2000 Accord LX?

[@DylanClarkSallee]

I would guess not - I believe this is specific to the Honda CR-V LX 2002-2004. But there might be a similar procedure for the Accord out there somewhere! I would check the Honda eParts store and see if a keyless accessory kit was offered for your vehicle at the time of purchase.

[@fortunec9521]

Please how can someone locate it on 2003 Honda Accord

[@Castro62]

Don’t the remotes have to be programmed?

[@innochangz3685]

How can i do that on honda fit/jazz 2006

[@chaosking2661]

With the part number listed on the spare parts website, they they show that it's for 2003 to 2004, so will this work on the 2002?

[@DylanClarkSallee]

I’m not sure, but maybe? I’d look to see if you have the green connector as outlined in the video. If you do, it’ll probably work.

[@WTDeal]

Did it?

[@demandredmat]

I hope you’re still active😅. I got the kit, but it didn’t come with instructions. The Drive link is dead, do you mind sharing the pdf instructions? Thanks!

[@DylanClarkSallee]

Still here! Give me a sec.

[@DylanClarkSallee]

Updated!

[@rubymalia9345]

heyo, question. I'm looking to install this same module in my 01 civic. Does the panic button on the remote set off an alarm? When the doors are locked or unlocked, does the horn honk and/or do the turn signals flash?

[@DylanClarkSallee]

I'm not sure if the module will work the same, if at all, in a civic. But in my 2004 CR-V, yes, the panic button works and the honk/lights flash when locking and unlocking.

[@rubymalia9345]

@@DylanClarkSallee okay thank you! The modules are similar or the same, so mine should behave the same as well. I'll let you know if I end up getting it

Thank you very much dude!

[@DylanClarkSallee]

Sure! I was actually just going over this video to make sure I didn't miss anything, so if you have any questions while you're installing, leave me a comment!

[@berthamiles6507]

excellent instructions!!! thank you!

[@williamboyd2124]

Did this without unhooking the battery (because I couldn't find a wrench for that) and it worked fine right after I plugged it in - didn't do any of that hocus pocus stuff with the window and rpms and whatnot. But YMMV, I suppose.

[@DylanClarkSallee]

Yeah, I think that stuff is just best practice to avoid screwing with the ECM. YMMV - figured I would do it the Honda-recommended way. :)

[@tigres79incomparables7]

Why my lack bud doesn't lock

[@James-hf1kn]

do you know where it is on a 98 Civic LX?

[@DylanClarkSallee]

I do not unfortunately - it might not have something like this. I would search for/buy the shop manual. Additionally, you can often find a list of all the OEM accessory options that were available when the car was first sold. Each accessory item should have an installation manual. I think they're available on the Honda eParts store. Good luck!

[@omayra456rwf]

Where do I order it

[@DylanClarkSallee]

Read the description.

[@reydantesumo1647]

does this thing work on a 2004 honda crv 2nd gen?

[@DylanClarkSallee]

Probably, yes! I think you need the LX model. You can check if the green transponder wire in the center console is there - be aware that it can be kinda hard to find. Watch the video for more information.

[@halfmanhalfhorse10]

So what if you have an EX model?

[@DylanClarkSallee]

As far as I know, the EX model doesn’t have the wiring harness plug to attach the transceiver module. However, it might be worth a shot to follow the instructions in the video to open up the center pocket-thing and check for yourself. It’s not super hard.

[@evancrocker1081]

@@DylanClarkSallee My 2002 EX has a green harness in the same spot, but it seems to be smaller than yours. Are you aware of any different oem transponders with a smaller harness?

[@DylanClarkSallee]

@@evancrocker1081 hmmm - not off the top of my head, no. You might check estore.honda.com and see if you can find the original OEM keyless entry accessory pack for your specific car.

hey dude,..you know that you do not have to disconnect the battery,.ive done it to 3 different honda cars and never ever had a problem..

You might not have the LX model - the transponder cable is only included in that trim.
