I keep reading about people who have lost codes, or in my repair manual they keep warning you to write down the code before disconnecting the battery.

My '99 Accord LX radio (cassette, I then added an Alpine 6 disk CD changer) doesn't have a code. Which radios have codes? Do current models (2003 model year) use codes?

 

My 95 Si had a code.

 

i htink all the new ones have a code. my 95 integra ls one needed a code.

your should have a code? i think all of them did after 1992

 

I definately don't have a code on mine, and it is a Honda OEM cassette radio. Maybe there were two levels of radios, the basic one for the LX, and a "premium" radio for the EX, and only the premium radio had the code? Or maybe only the CD players use codes?

Not that I'm complaining, the code sounds like much more hassle than it's worth.

 

My car was one of the few that were actually built in Japan. I wonder if that made a difference? Maybe the radios that the Japanese factory had to put in the car were the codeless ones, while the ones that the US factories had have codes.
