Ok Guys...I'm stuck....
2001 Civic and a 556H. I'm haveing troubles getting this unit to program, and to hold that programing.
If/When the LED lights up, and everything seems to be working well, it will work once, then stop working. OR it will give me the "Not getting signal" flash.
It always starts with the key in the cylinder, and the customer doesn't have an extra key, so the 556U is last priority.
Seems like I have all the wires connected perfectly, and everything seems good. Soldered everything.
Any ideas? How do I know if I have the wires connected to the correct place at the key cylinder?
Thanks!
Brett

If anyone knows what it could be I hope they post.

I always use the 556u on hondas with no problem but occasionally I have to send the customer to the dealer to buy a second key if they don't have one.

I don't have alot of experience with the H but if you get it to work I would really like to know what caused the problem myself so I can use them in the future. I am not at all afraid of change and trying new things but sometimes newer products have glitches so I tend to stick with what works for me until something else proves reliable in the long run or after they get all the "bugs" out.

You state all your solder connections are good. If thats the case it could be your wiring but since you also state that it works sometimes I think it may be a glitch or something is causing a no read or improper value and it would be impossible for me to troubleshoot that without actually metering everything myself.

You probably have it wired up correctly, its just that the 556H is junk. The 555i was junk, and I usually only had a 75% success rate with it. I stopped using DEI bypasses right around the time the 556H came out. Now I use the PKH3 from bypasskit.com and I have never had a problem. It even has less connections to make. They are cheaper too.

Jworm, that PKH3 looks like a nice unit. I think I am going to try it out. Honestly, there is not much to go wrong with a 555U since it is nothing more then a coil of wire and a relay but this seems like a good way to go keyless as i too have heard the DEI keyless bypasses are crapola.

The last company I worked for only carried DEI so I didn't have much of a choice but I am starting with a smaller company soon that will allow me to have more control over products we use.

Do you know the price of that PKH3 off hand?

I can install a PKH3 faster than you can install a 555U.
I don't ever take apart the steering column when installing a PKH3, so I don't have to worry about breaking the cheap clips that hold the top and bottom together.
You don't have to worry about the customer only having 1 key.
A PKH3 is not effected by the cold
I PM'd you the price.
