8th Generation Honda Civic Forum - View Single Post - My Radio Locked! How to Retrieve Your Radio Code!

I somehow lost my radio code card, and I never had a sticker on my glove box with the number.

I know if you hit 1 and 6 on your radio, then turn it's power on, you are supposed to get the number you need. When I do this I get a reading that says "DIAG".

Does your radio have to be already in "lockdown" mode to have it read the number from the 1&6 trick?

My radio currently works, but I know I am going to need the code soon when I reset my ECU. The dealership has been less than helpful.
