I purchased a used 1999 honda accord sedan that did not come with key fobs. I thought I could just purchase some fobs and I could use keyless. I later found out that I might need the control module. Is this true for a 1999 accord? I thought all cars now-a-days came with this feature.

Can anyone tell me if this is true, the part # of the module, and the location of part ?

Thanks much!!

 

Is it an EX or LX?

I believe that the '99 EX came with keyless entry, in which case you just have to program your key fobs:

If you have an LX, it is prewired for remote entry but doesn't actually have the control unit. I have a '99 LX sedan and added it a few years ago.

You can pick up the unit from handa-accesssories.com for ~ $155 plus shipping (probably no tax since they are in California and you are in Texas). Scroll down to "Keyless Entry for LX":

Take a look at the installation instructions if you want to. There's no cutting or splicing or anything, just a lot of replacing, plugging in, unplugging, etc, and screwing in the base module into the spot it's supposed to go (like I said, the car was built to accept it, it just doesn't have it).

If you buy that system, you'll also get a couple of new key fobs. And if you want to open your trunk with your fob, that's another $25 (look right above the "Keyless Entry for LX"). I bought the trunk opener but haven't installed it since I have small kids who like to play with our keys, I'm afraid of having them pop my trunk one night without us noticing.

 

Thank you so much for the great information, that is exactly what I needed to know!

 

damn for $155 I would rather go for a alarm or even just keyless entry module thing I think mine was $70 from Crime Guard.

 

i bought my Prestige APS-996a alarm for $50 off eBay brand new in the box. This is the alarm that is also a 2 way pager with remote start.

 

Any chance someone has part #s for all this stuff? Handa-accessories isn't around anymore
