I put in new foglights for my car and consequently I disconnected the battery. Now I need to put in a code to get my radio working again but I'm having a little trouble. Before you tell me to check my manual, I already did. It tells me to use the preset buttons. I'm looking for a little clarification. The numbers on my presets are only 1-6 and my code has numbers in it that are greater than 6. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

there should be a little card in your glovebox with your other documentation
IF NOT

go to your dealer they are suppose to give u the number.

I have the number, it game on a little card with a barcode on it. The trouble I'm having is entering the number. The code is 'steal me' How do I enter a 7 and a 9 if my presets only go up to 6?

You've got to add up the first and third numbers, multiply them by 4 then find the square root of that number and divide it by 2... that should give you the correct code. ....

Anti-theft/radio codes are 5 digits and should be with all your other "paper work" ... or as mike said your dealership can get it for you, OR you can hold 1 and 6 down at the same time, get the serial number and have the parts or service dept run the serial number and get you the code. Ultimate easiest way tho is to look through your paperwork/manual and find the 5 digit access code

do u have navi? you touch the screen if so... ive NEVER seen a non navi radio with a code like that

Are you positive that is your radio code? On honda units the numbers should not exceed the highest number on your preset buttons. See if it is on a sticker somewhere in your glovebox or door jams.

ok thanks guys. I'll look through my stuff and see if I can find it. I appreciate your help!

Yeah my code was all 1's, 2's and 3's. It was located on a small flat card (about the size of a credit card) and was in a ziplock plastic bag paper clipped to my manual. I'm not saying yours is, but there should definitely be a card somewhere that tells you the code.

Its probably not even a key code ... most sidewinder key codes start with a letter and are followed by 3 numbers...

IE: L375

Lol don't worry those weren't my key numbers. I changed them. It is something similar to that but not the same. I found my radio code (finally). They were nice enough to write it down on the inside of my service manual. It's all se now. Once again thanks to everyone for helping me out and not making me feel stoopid.

for the record sometimes they are on a sticker on the left side of the glove box sticked on it , oh and this question is for everyone (so i dont mak a thread) here goes , If i remove my factory (stock radio) and decide to put a aftermarket one how would the anti theft radio code or would this become disabled?( would i still be able to use radio???)

You wont need an anti-theft code if you install an aftermarket headunit.

haha sweet so ill just install a new HU and my cel should reset based on many ppls saying unplug the power.... can a in proper instllation cause the cel? the code is P0171 and it means too lean i belive

Disconnecting the battery may turn the CEL for a little while but the DTC will still be stored and the light is likely to come back on.

The CAI is the cause of your CEL... improperly installing a HU wont give you a check engine light

So when the cold air is installed properly and the battery is re-connected and no CEL comes on, do you still have to get the ECU reset by the dealer to remove the stored DTC or does it automatically remove itself?
