Enrolling New Keys to a 2004 Honda Civic using AutoProPad

To enroll a new key to a 2004 Honda Civic using the Auto Pro Pad, you'll typically follow these steps:

Requirements:

  • Auto Pro Pad: Ensure it's updated with the latest software for Honda vehicles.

  • New Key: Have a new, unprogrammed key ready.

  • Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle's battery is sufficiently charged.

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Connect Auto Pro Pad:

    • Connect your Auto Pro Pad device to the OBD-II port of your 2004 Honda Civic. This port is usually located under the dashboard on the driver's side.

  2. Turn Ignition On:

    • Insert an existing programmed key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position (without starting the engine). Keep this key in the ignition throughout the process.

  3. Select Key Programming:

    • On the Auto Pro Pad screen, navigate to the key programming menu. Select "Honda" as the manufacturer and then choose "2004 Civic" as the specific model.

  4. Follow Prompts:

    • The device will guide you through the programming process. It may prompt you to enter certain data or confirm vehicle information.

  5. Program New Key:

    • Once prompted by the Auto Pro Pad, insert the new, unprogrammed key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position. Hold it there until the device completes the programming process. This may take a few seconds to a minute.

  6. Complete Programming:

    • After the programming is successful, the Auto Pro Pad will confirm and instruct you to remove the newly programmed key from the ignition.

  7. Test the New Key:

    • Test the new key to ensure it starts the vehicle and operates all necessary functions (locking/unlocking doors, etc.).

  8. Finish and Disconnect:

    • Once confirmed that the new key works properly, disconnect the Auto Pro Pad from the OBD-II port and securely store all tools.

Notes:

  • Battery Voltage: Ensure the vehicle's battery voltage is stable throughout the process to avoid interruptions.

  • Programming Time: Programming times may vary, so be patient during the process.

  • Verification: Always verify that the new key functions correctly before finishing the procedure.

Following these steps with the Auto Pro Pad should allow you to successfully enroll a new key to your 2004 Honda Civic. If you encounter any issues or error messages during the process, consult the device's manual or contact customer support for assistance.
