When we took delivery of our '99 EX just several months after the improved Ody came on the market, the dealer told us Honda had originally planned to give only one remote per vehicle, but had changed their minds and was now playing catchup. So they gave us one and promised a second later. Then they gave Honda the wrong address for our van, etc., and after the dust settled, I think we ended up with three or four of the remotes, with an extra or two coming in the mail from Honda as well as an extra from the dealer. With luck, I've got enough for the lifetime of the vehicle!
