My '07 Pilot's factory FOB transmitter went dead. No red light, battery and it's contacts checked out fine This OEM transmitter module is direct replacement and works perfect. This is best, lowest cost way since my key itself, immobilizer chip, and plastic FOB case are all good. I did simple reprogramming via YouTube video. Also transmitter came in Honda factory sealed bag with battery already installed. Read more

This item fit and worked perfect to replace the dead transponder for my 2006 Pilot. It even came with a battery installed. Super easy to replace; just one Phillips screw and swap out the bad unit for this one. I used the following instructions to get it paired with my car: Programming Instructions: Have all remotes for the vehicle on hand. Make sure all the doors and rear hatch/trunk are closed during programming. Only need to use 1 remote to get into program mode but all remotes must be programmed during the same session. Each step must be completed within 5 seconds. 1. Sit in the car with all doors/trunk tightly closed 2. Turn the key to the ON position, marked by "II" on the ignition bezel so the dash lights come on, then within 5 seconds press the "Lock" button on the remote for 1 second or so and release the button. 3. Turn the key to the OFF position, marked by "I" on the ignition bezel - dash lights go off. 4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 three more times (A total of 4 times) – each step must be done within 5 seconds of the previous step. 5. Upon the 4th turning of the key to "ON", press the lock button on one remote, the locks will make a cycling sound (clunk), locks will NOT lock or unlock at this point, they will just make a noise. The system is now in programming mode. Do not turn key off. 6. Within 5 seconds of entering programming mode and within 5 seconds of each other, press the lock button ON EACH remote you are programming, for a second or so and release. This step needs to be completed within 10 seconds. Each time a remote button is pushed, the locks should cycle. Up to 3 remotes can be programmed. 7. Turn ignition completely off and remove the key. Step out of car and close door. The remotes should be programmed and should work. If you have a trunk/hatch release, the button for this feature needs to be held for a few seconds before the trunk/hatch will "pop". Read more

2 original remotes just become dead, without reason. Replacement look like only one option. how to program the remote on H-P: it is 4 position for the key 1 (inserted) 2 (basic power) 3 (power on, but no ignition) 4 (car started) replace a remote from the dead one in the original key case (this is important, as the original case has also an RFID microchip embedded - a small black block inside) close the driver's door and unlock all doors with the button on the door insert a key, then move to pos2 --procedure-- switch the key from pos 2 to pos 3, hit the close button on the remote then quickly turn back to pos2 (not pos1, do not start a car, and do not remove a key) ..repeat 4 times. when you hear that door lock clicked (doors locked or so) - immediately hit unlock button on the remote // that it you can check the remote now. car can remember 3 remotes - you can add one as a keychain or so.

My OEM key went through the laundry, killing the remote control buttons. I replaced the battery... No luck. Then I bought a 3rd party replacement key fob and tried to move the electronics from that into my old key, so I wouldn't have to get the key recut. That didn't fit perfectly, so the door lock button didn't "click" correctly when pressed. So I finally did what I should have done all along, and I bought this genuine Honda replacement for the electronics. I slapped it in my old key, then I did the at-home programming procedure to pair the car with the new remote. You only need professional programming if you also replace the transponder chip, which isn't part of this item. This is the way to go if your key is physically intact but your remote is broken. Update: I had to fix another key that broke -my remote buttons are probably on a bike trail or in a creek somewhere. I didn't hesitate about repurchasing this item, but I did take more care on choosing the key shell to hold everything. Read more

This is my second unit and they are perfect. After several attempts from different instructions I found the review from Chapai the most helpful on how to program the unit. I think the big piece is when you get into the car you unlock the doors with the actual switch on the door. In his review he is cycling between the accessory position and the on position. He does not recommend turning it all the way back off. Good luck! Read more

I have been living without keyless entry for months because both of my keys died. And the wonderful thing about the Pilot is that it has ONE lock on it. I can't unlock the passenger door or the hatch with a key, JUST the driver's side door. I went to the dealership to inquire about getting it fixed. They "weren't sure" if the "$80" part for the key would work but they'd try. And they'd program it "at no charge". Otherwise it would be $250. For one key. So I thought about it and figured if they could replace the inside and re-program it, then I should be able to do that on my own. So I did some searching and came across this. I purchased it and followed the instructions that a previous reviewer gave for re-programming. After following the instructions, I popped open a bottle of bubbly and celebrated. I have keyless entry again! WOOHOO! Read more
