Maybe TouringAccord can add this to the FAQ.

I've noticed that alot of people are asking about the Radio Code and how do they get them. Most have that little card or sticker that's in the glovebox...But some are in the doorjam, trunk, and even the sunvisor. They will always need the Radio Code everytime the battery is disconnected. Here is a step-by-step Tutorial.

03+ Accord

1. Radio Code Card/Sticker - Easiest way, Can be found in the glove box, either on the in/out sides.

2. Serial Number - Now this is a bit harder as you will need to put in some work to get it.
There are actually 2 ways to get this: 1. By display & 2. Under the radio.
Navi Units requires Method 2

**Do this at your own risk, I am not responsible for any damages**

<U>Non-Navi Units</U>

Method 1 - By Display **Dealership might charge you for this service** **There might be multiple codes with this method**
1. Turn the ignition to the "ACC" position(1st click).
2. Turn the radio On to make sure it says CODE
3. Turn the radio Off
4. Hold down buttons 1 and 6.
5. Turn the radio on
6. The display screen will show the last 8 digits of the Serial #. Write it down
7. Call or go to your local HONDA dealer parts/service department and ask for the radio code. They'll ask for the Serial Number and give them the Serial #. In return, they'll give you a 5 digit code.
8. Turn the radio On, it <U>needs</U> to display CODE
9. Input the 5 digit code in order by pressing the 1-6 buttons. If enter correctly, it should <U>beep</U>.

Now the radio works.
