Avital is one brand of remote starter that features easy-to-use keyless remotes. These remotes can be programmed wirelessly to your engine and then added to your keychain. Once programmed, you will be able to use the remote from as far as a couple hundred feet away in your house, the street or a parking lot. If your remote is not working, you can troubleshoot the remote and get it resynced in seconds.

Enter your car, leave your driver's door open and insert your key into the ignition.

The great news is you can program your 2005 Honda Pilot Key Fob yourself. All you have to do is follow these instructions:

Most remotes can be self-programmed. If these procedures do not work, you must have your remote programmed by a professional automotive locksmith or dealership.

Procedure #1
Obtain all remote transmitters for this vehicle. Entering programming mode erases all remotes, so all remotes must be programmed during this procedure.

1. Turn ignition to ON (ll). (ON is the position just shy of starting the vehicle without cranking engine)
2. Press and hold the valet/disarm button located between the AM/FM and CD/TAPE button. The vehicle will respond by locking and unlocking the doors, indicating the vehicle is in programming mode. (You must continue to hold the valet button until instructed to release)
3. Within five seconds, press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the remote. The vehicle will respond by locking and unlocking the doors, indicating the vehicle has programmed that remote.
4. Within ten seconds, Repeat step 3. for all additional remotes to be programmed.
5. Release valet/disarm button to exit programming mode. Test all remotes.

Procedure #2
Obtain all remote transmitters for this vehicle and read the instructions prior to programming.

Entering programming mode will erase all previously programmed remotes for this vehicle. You must have all remotes available for programming including working ones.

• Enter vehicle and close all doors

• Each of the following steps must be completed within five seconds of completing the previous step. If you take longer than five seconds or make a mistake, you must start the entire procedure over.

• Insert the key into the ignition, hold one remote in your left hand with additional remotes close by. We recommend taking remotes off the key ring to perform the procedure. When the instructions say to press the LOCK button, you should press the LOCK button on the remote for approximately one second then release it.

Perform each of the next three steps in order, then repeat all three steps two more times for a total of three times each.

1. Turn the ignition to the ON position, marked II.
2. Press the LOCK button on the remote.
3. Turn the ignition to the OFF position, marked I. (Do steps 1-3 three times)

Next, turn the ignition switch to ON position, marked II.
4. Using the same remote, press the LOCK button again. The door locks should cycle indicating the vehicle has ENTERED programming mode.
5. Using the same remote, press the LOCK button again. The door locks should cycle indicating the vehicle has PROGRAMMED that remote.
If you have other remotes to program then repeat step 5 with each additional remote one after another. Step 5 must be completed within ten seconds for each additional remote. You may program up to three remotes.
6. Turn the ignition to OFF. Test all remotes.
If your remote has a trunk button you will need to hold that button down for several seconds for that function to operate.

The 2000 Dodge Intrepid is equipped with an alarm system that is triggered when unauthorized entry is attempted. In some situations, such as having the Intrepid valet parked or when it is being serviced by a mechanic, the alarm system needs to be disarmed so it doesn't go off. Disarming the alarm will prevent it from being activated until it is armed again.

Thanks for using Fixya, please rate if this helps :)

I have a '99 Deville. Had the same problem. In the glove box, there are two toggles for Traction Control and Valet. Toggle the Valet one and try the remote on your key or the buttons in your dash.
For mine, someone had engaged the Valet to "ON" and locked out the remote trunk and fuel door.
