Can anyone give me a little help? I have the factory remote for my 98 prelude but have no idea how to program it. Does anyone know how to do this? If so it would be greatly appreciated.

 

I should be able to get the instructions tomorrow during business hours. I sell and program quite a few factory remotes so it shouldn't be a problem getting it.

 

Programming instructions for 98 prelude
1: hold your key in your right hand and remote in your left hand, insert key into ignition
2: has to be performed three times (each a,b,c cycle within 5 seconds)
2a: turn key to ONposition (not to start, just to on)
2b: press and release UNLOCK button on the transmitter
2c: turn ignition switch back toLOCK position but do not remove the key
3: within 5 seconds turn the key back to the on position
4: press and release the unlock button on the same transmitter, the power door locks will cycle to show that you are in programming mode
5: within 10 seconds press and release the unlock button on the same transmitter. the door locks should cycle again
6: repeat step five for any other transmitters you have
7: turn key to lock position to exit program mode

This is straight from the Honda iN network. I work at Honda, by the way.


Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
• The system accepts up to three transmitters. The
transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed,
the code for the first transmitter is erased.
• Entering the programming mode cancels all learned
transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must
reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
• You must complete steps 1–6 within 4 seconds of
the previous step to keep the system from exiting the
programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the “Lock” or “Unlock” button on one of the
transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter can be
used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the
same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the “Lock” or “Unlock” button on the same
transmitter. Make sure the power door locks cycle
to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the “Lock” or “Unlock”
button on each transmitter. Make sure the power
door locks cycle after you press each transmitter
button to confirm that the system accepted the
transmitter’s code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the
programming mode.


That's exactly how to do it, by the book.

 

thanks boostedmonkeys I will do that.

 

No problem, mang.
