| Has anyone found alternates for a spare key for the FIT? Just got back from the dealer.........$47 for a blank and about the same for cutting and programming.......plus a 1/2 service time to program. All I want is a "valet" style key...to open the door lock and start the vehicle. | |

Has anyone added the Keyless Entry to their Base model after they already got the car? I'd like to but want to know others experiences and costs. Thanks, Suzecruise |

Replying to: suzecruise (Dec 17, 2006 5:29 am) (By the way, they have a really nice armrest - but I can't afford it. They didn't reply to an emailed question  but they did send the order promptly  ) Since I'm from Canada, this was quite a savings. I installed the Keyless Entry first to make sure it was working and then I immediately installed the Security System - just so I could remember where everything was - my memory is short. They both come with detailed instructions and drawings. Needless to say there is not much space under the dash and I spent a couple hours with my head by the brake pedal because I don't know much about cars. Some of the original connecters were quite tight to pry apart and it's a tight fit to put in some of the new ones. Hint: When installing the Security System (step 7) you have to locate a 16-pin connector with a green tape on it. I had a hard time finding it until I looked up under the dash with my head near the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal! Both items are working well, except the security system started arming automatically. I'll have to read the instructions to change it back to manual. The Keyless Entry might prevent some key scratches from around the keyhole, but it doesn't open the door for me and I still have to walk to the car!!! In other words, I think it's kind of useless. But I bought them because I like gadgets. Most of my driving is at night, so I want to install some driving lights - as soon as I figure out where to put them. The car has 40,000 miles and seems as good as new. The oil indicator light has me changing oil about every 9,000 miles and I use Mobil 1 synthetic. (I got 440,000 miles out of a Honda Odyssey using Mobil 1 oil.) Since you just purchased your car - make sure you can remove your spare tire. Mine was impossible to unscrew by hand. And congratulations on your new purchase - the Fit is one of the best handling cars out there - regardless of price. |
