My 2000 civic's car battery died lately, after replacing it with a new battery. The stereo si asking for a code which I don't have. I bought my civic used from a car dealer 2 yrs ago and they didn't provide me neither the code nor the serial number of the stereo. Is there any other way to retrive the code or the serial number? Thanks so much!

 

u can call the honda dealership and give them your vin # and the serial code on the back of the radio and they'll give u the code.

 

yea there is...pull the radio and get the serial number off of it and call honda and they should give it to you...

 

Komakazi_830,

How to pull the stereo? there's a small storage tray underneath the stereo. I tried to pry it open but no luck so far. Is there any step by step stereo removal instructions online?

Thanks!

^great site with step by step instructions and pics. u gotta remove the lower dash panels to get to the bottom of the radio and unbolt it.

 

nalgas05,

Thanks so much for the link!

 

theres a vin # located in your glove box or somewhere on your car...you dont have to take out your stereo...i took it to a honda dealership and they just checked inside my glove box for the Vin # ...

 

Some dealerships charge money, others dont. Mine was going to, so for like $2 I bought the code off ebay. Hope you can get it for free

 

are u talking about the same vin# for the car? I do have the vin# but not the serial # of the stereo.Thanks!
