I can't think of anything (without watching you) but I know timing is critical. Others have reported frustration as well. Keep trying.


Maybe a few beers would help??? :roofles:

Takes a couple tries in our Fit and Acura as well.

tried a few more times w/no luck... gonna call Honda Cust Service one nite while sitting in car and attempt again. Amazing how difficult a simple task can be

Customer rep helped me.. Manual is missing a step of holding & then releasing button 1 more time!
won't help anyone w/manual at home or in glove-box of course
