Remote for a 93 ES300?
 
Hey guys....great sight here. I have owned 2 integras in the past and was always on team integra.net. But since I bought my 93 ES300 im certainly glad I found this website. Big help to have forums like these. But I do have a questoin. Was there remotes for 93 ES300's? I havent looked too much but the little I did I didnt find one. I just want to know if they make one so I can buy one or maybe two. I really hate using the key so a remote would be great.:D And if they made them where would I get one?:uh:...other then the dealer. Thanks!

No remote for the '93 ES. The key has a button on it to lock/unlock the doors. That's it.

Lexucan is correct. I still consider it remote locking/unlocking.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get my 93 to beep like my RX does? I would like some sort of extra confirmation that the doors are locked when I am on a busy downtown street and cannot hear the locking mechanism.

I usually just check to see if the security LED on the dash is lit before leaving the car, then I know for sure she's locked up. But I agree that some sort of audible signal would be nice. You might have to invest in an aftermarket security system to get that feature.

well i have two keys but neither have a button. so where could i get one with a button or what do they look like so i know what to look for. and i would also like a beep too if i were to get a key that locks and unlocks the car via "remote".

You can just barely see the button, located on the key fob itself, in the images in this thread, which shows how to replace the battery.

well i hope this works. i think i attached a photo of what both keys look like. they are both the same. but no button. so where or how can i get one with a button? im at work now so all my replies are via my phone. if the image doesnt work ill have to upload it when i get home.

kyledye25 05-17-10 12:03 PM

Here we go. Got to another computer at work and decided to upload a pic of what my keys look like. I was on ebay and can buy remotes but there is a "code" on the back of them that needs to match my car...how do I find out what my code is? Call a dealer? Because I would like to have a key that unlocks and locks the car with out my doing it manually. Not a huge deal but nice to have. Plus the lock on the doors are stiff and kind of hard to turn when you put the key in to turn. So if I can at least get one remote that would be great!

My master key (the one with the button on it) has an 8 digit alphanumerical FCC ID code imprinted on it. That is what you need to match with your car for the remote lock/unlock. I'm not sure if a key without the button has the same code printed on it. Probably not since that type of key would have no radio transmitter in it. If that's the case, I would contact a Lexus dealership and get them to run your car's VIN number and they SHOULD be able to tell you what your FCC ID code is....probably for a price. :(

Lexus had no clue really what I was talking about. So he went and asked and said it can be retrieved from the key(the key thats the transmitter which I dont have) and he didnt know of another way. I did find on here that someone with an SC400 i think found it by taking the back seats out and taking off the trim under the small back window and there was a box with the ID on it. Is there something like that for my 93 ES300? I dont know if I want to start taking the car apart looking for something that may not even be there....

This is only a guess, but looking at the factory service manual drawing of the theft deterrent/door lock system, you might find the FCC ID code on the Theft Deterrent and Door Lock Control ECU, which appears to be behind the glove box. Good luck.
