Jumper cables hooked up backwards... Honda Pilot.
So, was over at my buddies working in his garage, when the battery in his Pilot died. We jumped it with his truck. But I guess he hooked up the cables backwards on the truck. I caught it after a second, but now his radio isn't working. Car started up fine and everything once we switched them around. Truck seems alright. But the pilot's radio doesn't work, everything else electronically seems alright.
Edit: Also, all it says on the steroe is 'Code' when you try to turn it on or anything.
Anyone know if it's something simple?

check the owners manual or go to a Honda dealership to retrieve the stereo code. If the battery died the security code locks thieves out of the stereo.

Second all you need is the radio code and the radio will work again.
