if you look around in random places in your car you can sometimes find it like in the glove box under the cup holders behind the ash tray or on one of the pages in the owners manual

You can also just hit up the dealership and they will give you the code for free. I think they made me show them my insurance card to make sure i owned the car.

no need to pay any money at all. just take the radio out, find the s/n on it, and bring it to the dealer with some form of license and registration to show you legally own it. also being that you tried it several times you will have to have it reset in order to do this put the keys in and turn the ignition to on for anywhere from half an hour to 2 hours in order to reset it after that you can put the cd code in and it will work. after 3 wrong tries it will lock.

i have never seen the code there before... and hell, i've seen the inside of hundreds of accords (literally)

the metal tag on the key ring is the code used to make replacement keys. i would take that off and put it somewhere safe. if you lose your keys, you need that number to have a new key cut. (unless you still have a spare laying around)

just take your car to a dealership and have your insurance with you... they should give you the code at no charge. if they try to charge you, find a different dealership.

yeah you can take the serial number to the dealer or you can call the dealer where you bought they have it on their computer all they need is your vin #... also the person who does the pre delivery inspection puts the sticker in the glove box and such places sometimes they dont put them so some cars might not have them or you can post your serial # here and sure somebody will help you get one

funny... American Honda (corporate office) told us (salesmen) to never put the code anywhere inside the car, and to instruct buyers to keep the code card somewhere in the house.

i would imagine that putting the code inside the glove box means a thief could simply write down the code when he's stealing the stereo...

i think they are talking about the serial number is the sticker inside the glove compartment not the actual code itself.

Look in your owners manual packet. The car should have been delivered with a credit card like card showing the radio code. If not you need to remove the radio and obtain the serial number so you can get the number via HondaNet at the dealer.

Guys i'm new to this forum and i'm in need of the Radio Code. The dealer wants to charge $90.00 to get me the code. I guess that includes them removing the radio to get the info. I did it myself and the only numbers I could come up with are.
GA0301628 and 39050SDNA301.
I would appreciate it if anyone could get me the code. Thank You.

i believe that metal slab with the numbers is to make keys. for instance if you lose all of your keys and u still have that metal slab with the numbers on there take it to honda and they can make u a new key by putting that number into a machine which spits out a new key.
