This is a duplicate thread I am posting this in Electronics as well. Thanks for any help.........

Bought a 01 as a lease return, and of course, no keyless entry transmitters were turned in by the PO. Dealers want $80-$90 for a new one. Since I have the instructions from this board on how to program a new transmitter into the S's computer, does anyone know if any of the universal transmitters for car alarms that sell at Best Buy, Circuit City for about $30 can be made to work on the S2000?

Or does anyone know what frequency they Honda ones transmit at, as that may help if I decide to buy a universal and try it out. Or how about if the one Honda uses is used by another japanese manufacturer that may sell it cheaper?

Many thanks in advance.

 

there are a couple of websites that specialize in new and refurbed factory transmitters. i have used one company, in particular, for several appplications, and have been completely satisfied.

i don not wish to violate the spirit of sponsorship on this site, so I won't post the name. you can do a google search or PM me. key words are keyless, ride and dot com

i think that the honda keyless fob is about $60 and it includes good instructions and telephone support.

 

Look in the For Sale forum, Guys are routinely selling them for $ 25 or less. Just make sure if you have the dealer insalled alam you get the proper remote thay are different. I bought a regular one not realizing there were two different types.

 

Make sure the numbers on the back of the remotes are the same. Also try Ebay. I seen a few on there cheap.

 

How to tell if the car has dealer installed alram? Where is it located?

The honda parts guy told me the S2000 one was unique, can anyone with other Honda verify that?
