How to program a 2006 Honda civic key?

Programming a 2006 Honda Civic key, also known as key programming, typically requires specialized equipment and software to communicate with the vehicle's immobilizer system. Here's a general outline of the key programming procedure for your reference, however, it's always best to consult the vehicle's owner's manual and use Honda-approved programming methods.

Note: This procedure typically requires two original working keys that came with the vehicle.

1. Insert Key and Turn On Ignition: Insert one of the working keys into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position, but do not start the engine.

2. Press and Hold Lock Button: Continue to hold down the "Lock" button on the driver's side door until the hazard lights flash multiple times (usually about 3 flashes).

3. Turn off Ignition: Turn the ignition off.

4. Remove Old Key and Insert Blank Key: Remove the original key that was inserted initially and insert a new blank key (the key you want to program) into the ignition within 5 seconds.

5. Turn On Ignition Again: Turn the ignition on again to the "ON" position but don't start the engine.

6. Hold Unlock Button: Hold down the "Unlock" button on the driver's side door until the hazard light flashes multiple times (similar to in step 2).

7. Turn Off Ignition and Remove Key: Turn the ignition off again and remove the newly programmed key.

Repeat steps 2 to 7 with the second blank key (if applicable). Test both new keys to ensure they can unlock the doors and start the car.

Please note that this is a generalized procedure and exact steps and requirements may vary slightly for your specific model and year. Referring to the owner's manual or the dealership for an authorized programming method is also recommended for accuracy and reliability.
