i put the apline cd changer in my 94 accord with the bitz adapter. the problem is when i turn off my car for more than 10 seconds it tells me to put the code in my head unit. why does it do this every time. need help.
Thanks in advance.

 

Kibbles & Bitz...? Does it ask you to do it everytime you turn the car on?

 

yes. i put it in and it works. but when i turn my car on again it needs the code again. i am stuck. i dont know wat 2 do.

 

i really need your guys help. it happened when i added my cd changer.

 

Pull the radio and unplug the changer - see if the problem continues.

If it does, check all connections, sounds like your constant-on wire is disconnected or loose.

If it doesn't, the problem is with your CD changer connection. Consider buying a new after-market head unit, or a new Honda radio from a later year (if you want it to still look stock). For what it's worth, the OEM radio in my '99 LX, a tape player, doesn't use a code (ever) and I have an Alpine CD changer hooked up to it.

What he said. And I also have a '99 LX that does not require a code, but my wagon does...(that radio came out of a GS-R though..)

 

i will try that 2morrow. thanx guys.

 

I tried that and it still won't work. any ideas. i really need your help. thanks in advance.

 

there is a wire from the original harness that supplies "backup" power to the unit; you'll need to find it and attach it to the corrcet stereo lead.
Or the fuse might be blown; under hood fuse panel

 

Def. Check the fuses, my radio and clock were the same way after i installed my HU. Try to replace the 7.5 Radio back up fuse.

 

Thanks guys i check the fuses tomorrow. i keep you informed.

 

Heat is on the right track. The radio has three power lines going into its harness. A black ground, and a red Key controlled power, and a yellow constant power. Sounds like the Yellow constant power is not hot. Did you install a stock Honda CD unit and did you use the stock Honda pigtail connector to hook it up to the main stock Honda stereo unit? Or is your main stereo non-stock?

 

it is the stock radio. i still haven't checked the fuse box. thanks guys. if it is not the fuse i will check the wires.

 

thanks guys. it was the backup fuse. thanks alot
