Is it possibe if I just get it from my dealer and install it the way you said? Will it not work b/c it's not "activated" by the dealer?
If it's a Honda keyless entry system then of course the programming will work...if it's not a Honda keyless entry system then of course it won't. You can't interchange stuff either, as you can see these remotes are very specific to certain types of security systems.
