can someone please answer my question real quick, i just got my 98 prelude Type SH back from the dealer cuz they fixed the tranny and the cd player dont work it says err -3 and it doesnt play or nothing please help

 

simple, reset the code, or better yet, from MY own experience, reset the ecu, then YOUR code will reset the radio and you are done.

Good luck.

 

1. reset your battery
2. Find the cd player code
3. Enter it

To fix your tranny they have to disconnect your battery, everytime your battery is disconnected your cd player will be reset.

 

thanks guys i'll try this out in the morning when its not raining

 

Sorry for the noob question but how do i reset my ECU cuz that seems easier and i don't know my radio code.

 

just take out your stereo to get the serial number and take it to the dealership. They'll give you the code for free.

 

unplug the negative hook or whatever it is on the battery.

l8r.

so thats how i reset my ecu? and once i do that the radio would work?

 

advice anyone?

 

nope it won't work. you need the code.

 

would i be able to use someone else's code?

 

It has to be the code specific to your stereo, just take it out, read the serial number, take it to a dealership and get it!

 

or it is a sticker on the globe compartment door, as you open it, you will see it...mine is that way.

good luck.

I didn't buy my car from a Honda dealership I bought it from a Toyota dealership. A Honda dealership would probley charge me money to get the code.

 

They won't, I had the same problem. Just gave me a printed paper with my code on it.

nope, listen, you take the plastic trim piece around your a/c - radio unit (use a soft cloth and a flat head screw driver to pry that piece out, then you should see two screws holding the radio, take that out, obviously, then you should see the serial on the radio).

Once this is done, you need to go to a HOnda dealership and give them that serial number, plus your proof of ownership, if you don't drive there. DO NOT PAY for them giving you a stupid code, you must not pay, if they charge tell them to suck off...

Done.

 

Thanks for the info naujcdl i guess i will have to do that today

 

also, when you open your glove compartment, do you see a little sticker with some numbers on it??? on the door itself???

if so, the top one with a 5 digit is your radio code.

Good luck

 

hey, by the way, what sort of a honda dealership leave your radio not working?

wtf, it is their problem getting it back to work...not yours!

 

ya i know they said they would fix it monday they also hit a pole in my car while it was over there and when they painted it,there was bubbles between the rear bumper and the car
