Where's the cheapest place to buy a 2nd remote for my 2001 EX?

Thanks!

Ebay usually has them but none are listed currently. About $30.00 per, sometimes less.

Wait a minute here. "....to buy a 2nd remote for your 2002 EX"?????

The EX models *do* come with two remote transmitters. Did your dealer give you only one?

You'd be the second person I've known to be screwed by their salesman in this way. Go back and DEMAND that you get your second remote.

(Now I know where the ones on Ebay come from. Dealer charges $120 for these things, and I got a couple for $40 each--from Ebay. Probably from salesman like yours.)

He said 2001, maybe he bought it used and there was only one when it was traded in?

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!

Llarry,
Are you interested in selling me one? I'm assuming that they are the same for a 2001 EX.

Don't they have to be specially coded to match your receiver? Can this be done by an end user ? -- I know the remotes on my '93 Accord have a chip inside with the code on it.

IIRC when we bought the Accord used from a Honda dealer they had two remotes in the file ( I know cause my wife and I set the alarm off by playing with both remotes simulataneously -- oops ). When we picked up the car the salesman claimed it only came with one. I can imagine it was already in use on his own car by that time. After complaining they gave us the 2nd remote.

How about the Insurance on the lease car, will it be more expensive?
