The US version has remote start. OP is not in America, it looks like. Not sure if the EX in your country came with remote start. I doubt it did.

Yes, you're right, I'm not from the US, but the car was bought in the US, so I decided to ask this question here. And if your cars come with other keys then itā€™s unclear how my car got this key

My best guess is either,

The cars original key was lost, damaged, or stolen, and a replacement key was programmed, however using one without the remote start function for some odd reason (maybe the previous owner didnā€™t care for it?)

Or the country in where you reside has some sort of law prohibiting remote start, and so the dealer you purchased your car from reprogrammed a new key without the remote start function.

The best thing you can do now is to ask the dealer about why your key doesnā€™t have the remote start feature. If your car is indeed one that was originally built for the US, then it most certainly has remote start built in, as my 2018 EX that has it.

Many thanks for the answers,

In this case I will buy a new key with remote start, I suppose the problem should be solved

I would like to continue this topic, I bought a key with remote access and programmed it today at an authorized dealer. But unfortunately, remote access doesn't work, the key blinks but the machine does not respond at all. The remote access function is turned on, can someone tell me that it is worth checking?

By "remote access" do you mean remote start? If so, and you programmed a key at an authorized dealer and it doesn't work then it might not have it. Are you sure it's an EX? Does it have the digital (color screen) dash and the 7 inch infotainment screen along with a sunroof? If it has those things and it was bought in the U.S then it 100% should have remote start and I would just ask the dealer about it. But if you do not have the features I mentioned, then you do not have an EX.

Car from US, I am 100% sure that its EX-T model, and remote start enabled.

Hi guys. I solved this problem and I want to share it with you. The problem was in the hood closure sensor, it is located directly in the hood lock. If this connector is detached, then the system thinks that the car is open and does not allow the engine to be started remotely. So if someone is faced with the same problem, check this connector.

I am having a very similar problem with my 2019 civic ex, bought it from a used car dealership and i was given a key fob w/o the remote start option. naturally i thought it didnā€™t have remote start, but iā€™ve been doing a bunch of searching and this is the same problem iā€™m having, seems to me it should have remote start. in the string of the car i can turn it on and off and itā€™s and EX and from what iā€™ve seen EX models should definitely have remote start. the key looks like it was a replacement, the internal key of the fob was never cut to fit the door, itā€™s still just a blank slab that comes out of the key fob.
