The Honda CR-V is a compact SUV (now called crossover in North America), manufactured since 1995 by Honda. It was loosely derived from the Honda Civic. Some model years of the Honda CR-V have keyless entry remote fob smart keys that are onboard programmable, which means a person can program the keyless entry remote fob smart key with no special equipment other than the keyless entry remote fob smart key programming instructions. However, other model years of the CR-V are not onboard programmable and require special equipment in order to program the keyless entry remote fob smart key.
