whats the point of having keyless entry...

[NFR_AP2]

well im not sure if keyless entry is interior or exterior..so w/e. anyway im not sure if this is normal or not...but when i go to unlock my doors with the KE, it sometimes takes about 10-15 presses of the button to unlock it, its such a pain in the ass to stand there for 5 minutes until the doors unlock, honestly i just usually unlock with the key cause it takes so long. im just wondering if theres some kind of sensor or something, i changed the battery in the remote not too long ago, so that cant be it...please HELP

try a new battery again. Sometimes those lil batteries are s**t brand new. The buttons may be wore out. It happens and if thats the case then u need a new remote.

id get a new remote, the buttons and the board inside can/will wear out overtime from using it

can i just get a new one from honda?

can i just get a new one from honda?

i would assume...call em up

 

[NFR_AP2]

you think thats the problem though, the remote?

 

[Kingjames83]

go to honda and ask them to try it! I dont think they would say no!

 

[NFR_AP2]

you mean ask them to see if it works when they press it?

lol the dealer is damn sure gonna tell u its broken. They can get u a new one for sure but i don't think it's gonna be cheap. I really think it's old and worn out.

 

[NFR_AP2]

thats what i figured too, maybe its just been dropped too many times :/

 

[Kingjames83]

no I mean get them to try a new one on it to see if the new one has the same pro... not saying they will be happy to try it but you never know... mine does that kind of s**t up here!

good idea, i think im gonna try that soon

 

[Kingjames83]

If the factory remote is too pricey just go with an aftermarket alarm. At least you get more protection even if you get a cheap one and you already have the power lock for the keyless entry. I got a quote up here for 260CAD with a tilt sensor!

i say either get a new remote from the dealership or stand a good distance from the car and press the remote (for some ppl that works)

 

[NFR_AP2]

hopefully its something thats fixable...like the remote

I know if you have fillings in your teeth you can stand further away and hold the remote to you jaw, open you mouth and push the button's and they will work. Yeah this was of no help. I'm sorry. It's prob worn out.

try to take apart the keyless remote thing, and try to clean the board and the buttons, i had a remote that was just dirty untill i opened her up and got out all the dirt and cleaned it, and it now works flawlessly.
