Just recently my battery went dead on my 2000 crv. I had a new one in with no problem, but the cd players anti Theft kicked in, so I have to insert a 5 digit code in order for it to work again. The problem is that i bought the crv used off of honda, and the previous owners held onto the code for the anti theft. I went into honda and they didnt have my code on records so he told me to go out and put the ignition on 1, and press 1 and 6 on the cd player at the same time and press on the power. That should have displayed my cd players serial number, which is now what i need in order to find the code... but with my luck there was nothing but the stupid code display still. i disconected the battery again to start fresh (making sure nothing was screwed up from last time) and i still have nothing. Can I try somthing elese before i say the hell with it and go buy a after market cd deck?

You can get the serial number by physically removing the radio...

I have never heard of pressing buttons to get the serial number... That would sortof defeat the purpose of having the security code in the first place if it was that easy...

Yeah i figured that it would be on the player. I already tried getting it out, but i had a hard time geting all the dash panles off to slide out the player... and the serial number alone wont get you the code eathier, you have to show proof of ownership to your car from vechical registration... but I see your point that its probually easy to get around that.

If I have the serial number, can someone please give me the code?

I am trying to buy an OEM cd player off of ebay to replace the tape deck in a 99 Odyssey. For obvious reason, the ones without codes are cheaper. Can anyone help? Thanks.

You can call a dealership with the serial number and get the code...

Will they give it to me with just the serial number from the deck? I don't have the VIN from the car

Edit: FYI - I just called the dealership. Long story short, they gave me a hard time about just having the serial number, not the VIN and not owning the car, but they did eventually give me the code.
