Radio Code

siLLy_g00se · 07-20-2005, 12:03 PM

Just put a new battery in and I need the code for the radio. I know you need the serial # for the radio but I am trying to avoid pulling the radio out. I know sometimes they will hide a sticker somewhere. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Mine was on the inside of the center console box. I think this is a dealer prep thing because I've heard others have found it in their spare tire area or even on the door jamb.

Call Honda with your VIN, they can supply the code

that happend to me last week, and man, I can't live w/o my music... Called honda they said that since its an "ANIT-THEIFT" feature that you have to prove ownership meaning go there with the car/id/registration...... YOu can't just call them up... Or maybe you might get lucky...? And you have to have the serial number behind the radio, if its written someplace else, great... but I dont think the VIN is enough...

Turn off unit press and hold #1 & #6 presets while turning the radio on. the display toggles between 2 screens the first displays a U and the second screen an L. Ignore the letters that's your units serial # Ex. U1234 L4321 your serial # is 12344321. Honda just enters that on their puter and you have the antitheft code put in by honda. Beats tearing out the radio.

I tell ya, having a salvage and going through all that I did, you learn alot and you come out of it having alot of stories. But I also needed the radio code when I got my car. As a matter of fact, it took me so long to find out how to get it, that I was driving around for about a year or so with no radio, just listening to the engine and my gear changes..and you know what, that was OK with me. I took a 2 hour ride from NYC to upstate NY with no radio. My friend said I was crazy, but with the top down I didn't care. Anyways, I had looked on any and every panel of the car that would give me some clue to a serial or a code. I finally had my body shop guy hook me up with a radio install place he used and for a $10 tip, the guy took the radio out for me real quick enough to get the serial. Then I was told that you have to go to the dealership you bought the car from (this was bogus) and they will give you the code. I went to a local dealership and, as if I were getting the code for Fort Knox, one of the guys at a desk went on the computer and printed out the code for me. He said this is usually $80-100, but don't worry about it. I feel like he even thought that was ridiculous. I wish I had known about the "1" and "6" buttons and all that. Geez! Oh well, I learned to join forums and learn all I can before I go out into the real world.
