Hi there,
I have a 98 Honda Civic, but when i bought the car the key fob had been
lost.

I have seen some on eBay but have no idea how to programme a key fob for a
Civic...
But i'm not sure if the ones on ebay will work! (how do i know?)

Is it possible to reprogramme any Honda remote?

Honda dealers quoted £75 for replacement which included programming.
Should i just go for this?

Cheers,
Sean

i did it with 2 remotes i bought off ebay and they work like a charm

 

Thanks for the reply....still bit unsure though.

I rang Honda dealer about programming it and they said that you need to be careful what key fob?!?
They said only certain fobs work for each model.
The original that should have came with the car was a 'one-button fob'.

This fob is currently available on ebay (2 button):

You reckon this will work on 98 Civic?
Anything i need to check first?

(hope no one else buys it now...)

 

I'm sorry, but what exactly does Fob mean?

 

remote, like for keyless entry or an alarm.

 

I don't see the resemblance. Does fob stand for something, or is it just another word for remote?

 

nother word. it has something to do with it on the key ring. i dont know the exact definition though. you could look it up on google though. search "definition fob". it should get you one. if you care that much. i dont know if you do. i wouldnt.
