Hi,
I bought a 2000 Civic EX but it lacked the keyless remote -- I understand this model/year came with one but I guess the previous owner(s) lost it. So my question is, if I wanted to buy the keyless entry remote used, would I need to get one with a specific fcc code -- or would all civic remotes work on the car? Thanks!

 

its not gonna work, they all got different freq...

if thats the case, then, stealling a car would be easy....

get an aftermarket alarm

 

Well, I thought you could just reprogram it? No?

 

call the dealer, ask them...

 

Factory alarms/keyless entry are **** anyway. You can get a killed DEI setup from $200-300.

And you're whip will be a lot safer.

I recommend the Python 700 at circuit city, $300 installed. About another $50 will get you hood/trunk pin sensors and a backup battery.

Great setup and stuff can always be added on.

I'm running the above and a tilt sensor, 2 kill switches and a couple more things. It's got good range on the pager too. Codesafe code hopping. It's a steal.

yes they are all reprogrammable, armed doesnt know what hes talking about.

theres a sequence you can go through to reset the remotes. i know its on HT somewhere as i have seen a thread

 

i didnt say you cant program it.. did I?????

...i said they got different FREQ....
you cant just get a remote and use it...
then i said, call the honda dealer if they can program it...

 

to "ek forever" I was reading the reviews on circuitcity.com and saw near the bottom ones, ppl gave it a crappy rating: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm...#tabs
