Default Fob not opening trunk, 2021 CR-V Hybrid Touring

Hello all,

Neither of my fobs (new batteries in both) will remotely open my CR-V's (2021 Hybrid Touring) trunk. The fobs work for everything else, and the button on the trunk hatch works properly. I googled but can't find anything that addresses this specific problem. Has anyone run into this?

welcome to the forum. If your car is under factory warranty, take it to Honda to get fixed.

Thanks. It is, and I will. There's a mechanical valet switch in some earlier CR-V's that's not there in 2021. I was wondering if I'd inadvertently changed a setting.

It's the fob. My #2 works.

My howto on how to create spare key fobs on our 2017-2022 push to start crvs. The keyed ones are PROBABLY just as easy and cheap.
