HELP!!! RADIO LOCK OUT...

CAIE02 · 10-05-2007, 04:59 PM

Hey, just got an 02... radio is error-code set,
Dealership wants 100. to fix, sounds a bit steep... any help... ... ...

If it's the code that shows up after your battery has been disconnected, there are instructions in your owner's manual as well as a code in it that you enter. Super simple. There are some threads about that on this site. If it's something else, someone here will know about it. $100...way too steep in my opinion.

I can tell how to do it and I will only charge you $50.

J/K, PM to follow.

Here is something I found on another site. Might be of help.

if you have done a reset or see code on your radio and need the sn to get the antifheft code from honda's database..heres what you do.

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.

Try the method I PMed you first.

Actually the oem radio is such a piece of junk a replacement HU would be a better solution.

You should have asked. I could have told you how to fix it in 3 minutes. No removal of screws or phone calls needed.

Yea i know man I thought you had posted a "how to" on the radio thing, itswas kinda on the fly. My batt went dead a half mile from honda by chance and 200 yard from a Battery store so i called honda on my way to grab the new batt. Knocked it out all at once,lol.
