My Radio Locked! How to Retrieve Your Radio Code!

[jonlingat]

So yesterday me and a friend of mine were installing our injen cai. him having a rsx type s and me with a 07 si coupe....not knowing that our radio system would lock us out if the battery was disconnected.

anyway, I dont remember having a card from when my car was bought with the code to unlock my radio.

Im thinking of going to the dealership today and have them check it out.
hopefully they can help me and wont trip off my cold air intake?

They shouldn't even open the hood.

Before you go try to call. Sometimes they will advise you over the phone. Also look for a 5 digit code on a white sticker. From the Factory/dealer they have to put it in there. Look in your glove box or in you center console maybe. Look in your manual too. They may have stuck it in there. It is a litte white rectangle sticker.

I searched for "radio code" in Honda's Owner Link website https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/login.asp?brand=honda to get this link.

Audio and Navigation System Theft Protection
For theft protection purposes, your audio system will be disabled if it is disconnected from electrical power for any reason. To make it work again, you must enter a specific code with the preset buttons. Because there are thousands of possible number combinations from five digits, making the system work without knowing the code is nearly impossible.

Great info! Now for the test. Do you know how to get the serial # without removing the radio. It is a combination of buttons but I can't remember off the top of my head.

I would honestly write that number down and place it somewhere in your house. Then, I would remove that sticker. If someone knows anything about 8th Gens and they want your radio/navi, they can easily check your glovebox before ripping that sucker out. If your code is there, they can grab your head unit with no worries.

I'm glad I got this.

and just noticed this thread got sticky'd!




I was on my way to honda and happened to look in my glove box and saw the code in the manual written down by the dealership and also found the card with the code also. So for sure, if you have your manual, you should have the code down.
