Key Fob function? (2000 Accord)
 

Recently purchased a 2000 Accord 4 door v6 with no manual; one question
I have is regarding the keyless entry thing (called a fob?). The first
press on the lock button seems to lock the doors, the second press makes
the horn blow. What exactly is going on with each press?

Thanks,

Jeff

The 2nd press horn sound is just to verify that the car is locked.
Nothing different other than the sound.

In my new Accord'04 the second press adds the impact alarm setting. The first press locks without it... Al

You can get to read an Owner's Manual and some other info at no cost
by going to Honda Owner's Link. Give them your VIN number and sign up.

https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/login..../prod_home.asp

VIN number is the number on the dash just inside the windshield.
When I signed up I found that My Honda's trany had an extended
warrantee.

No, not called a fob. People do call it a fob, but it's not; it's
simply a remote transmitter.

Look up "key fob" in the dictionary.

The first press locks the doors. If you're nearby and it's relatively
quiet, you can hear the doors lock--so you know everything's OK. But if
it's noisy or if you're not near enough, you don't hear the doors
lock--so you press the lock button again, and the car confirms that
everything's OK by honking the horn.

I think it's a polite way to do things. Rather than honking the horn
for confirmation no matter what, every time, it honks the horn for
confirmation only upon demand by the user.

huh? A "key fob" is the decorative thing on a key ring. It can be a piece of
leather, a bottle opener, flashlight, or a remote transmitter.

no, it's not. Look it up.

And besides, even so, since when is a remote transmitter a "decorative
thing"? It's just another key of sorts (one that electronically unlocks
the doors), hanging on the key ring.

It's a remote transmitter. Period.
