New forum member and Honda CRV owner

[kaztaz71]

:D Hi all i am new to the forum, i have just purchased a 1997 Honda crv AUTO with 248,000 on the clock for $5,500.
I was a bit concerned about the km's as i always thought at 300,000 cars were ready to throw out and get a new one, but i have talked to a lot of Honda mechanics and they tell me that this is fine especially if the crv was well looked after and serviced regularly as this one has been.
The question i have is the previous owners have lost the key fob for central locking, after doing much research on the net and getting a price from Honda Central here in Hobart $209 thank you very much....i found they are obviously cheaper on eBay $47.00.
But i need to know the FCC I.D number and i have no clue where to find it, i have the part number i think but the other eludes me.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

if its the genuine honda remote, then i would just let honda do it. other wise u can get another one, and i think they can reprogram it for you for about 60 ish.

but cant remember off my head ask them though

The honda dealer said they would program the key fob for free....I dont have $209 thats why I was looking at getting one of ebay.

no the fob has the 3 buttons lock/ unlock and boot open button, i think after much debate i will just have to suck it up and get a Honda dealer one for $209 and let them program it.....its just to risky spending $50 to $60 on one of the net and it could be a waste of money.
But cheers for the advice.
