How do you program a 2004 Honda Accord key?

I don’t know what happened, but my remote key stopped working. I changed the battery, but it still won’t connect. What steps should I take to program my 2004 Honda Accord key again?

Reprogramming keys can be expensive, costing anywhere from $50-$500, depending on
your mechanic
. That said, you can follow these steps to program your 2004 Honda Accord key from home:
  • Step 1: Get into your car and unlock the doors.
  • Step 2: Put your key in the ignition.
  • Step 3: Switch the ignition to ON (II).
  • Step 4: Press the lock button on your remote for 1 second.
  • Step 5: Switch the ignition to OFF (II).
  • Step 6: Repeat steps 3-5 three times, then turn the ignition to ON (II).
  • Step 7: Press the lock button on the remote you’d like to program. Your car’s locks should lock then unlock to indicate your key is connected.
Hopefully, these steps will help you program your key. But if you’re still struggling to connect the key to your car, you can always *bring it to a Honda dealer and ask them to program it for you. Since you already have your key, it shouldn’t be too pricey. Plus, you can offset the cost by saving on car insurance with
