How to use the keyless fob is in the manual and most dealers explain it to you when you buy it, why the need to 'youtube' videos?

Sorry oldpepper, I myself have a keyed U.S. PCX (and I like it that way ;)
I did search for you, and came up with the same result. No English speaking video(s).

I'm hoping you received an owner's manual With your 2019 scoot, if not you should get one. Call your Honda Dealer, tell him it's missing. Or buy one...if you must.

Asking to see a video teaching the use of the keypad is understandable. IMO, Visuals done correctly are always better. Books are guides/references before and after. Watching "Hands On" is far superior.

Let's try asking again
Will someone be kind enough to put together a thorough quickie how-to vid on using one? I'll then place it in How-to board if you're a smash hit :D
I'm pretty sure oldpepper isn't the only one that will appreciate your efforts. It's growing! We're in the midst of a keyless world.

Example:
No button. Speak only: "Open"
Response, "Welcome. Please, let yourself in" o_O
Uhh...No! that's not how this works, that's not how Any of This Works!!

Okay, that was crazy weird. Hey, it's Sunday!!!! LET'S RIDE

Dunno about the Honda but Yamaha one is real easy.
Switch fob on, place in pocket.
Use scooter
When finished using scooter switch off, apply steering lock, switch fob off.
Couldn't be simpler.

Do you have to switch the fob on and off? You don’t on my car one, it’s permanently on.

<I believe the battery(s) run out fairly quickly if the fob is left on - just from some FB comments but not sure if it's true.

My Xmax battery in fob lasted a year and is always left on. I’m sure honda is the same. the batt will discharge if kept near the bike as it is always excited and searching for the bike. But kept away from bike, I’m sure it sleeps.

No, but I prefer to switch it off then press it to confirm the finder is off, so I'm happy the scooter is definitely off.
Just me being an old phart and not trusting the tech.
I'd rather have a proper metal key.

There's just 3 buttons on the key.

1. Answer back button
2. Alarm on/off
3. Ignition switch lock on/off

3 years and I haven't changed the 2032 battery yet but i have a ready spare.
Everything looks better from the inside of a motorcycle helmet...
