once again thanks in advance for the help

 

you know you could call the dealer, they usually would give it to you over the phone. that's how i got mines once.

 

yeah but i don't have the vin number . im trying to put it on my hatch. also they going to charge me 70 bucks. thanks anyway

 

check your IM from me

CASE CLOSED

 

Well so you don't have a VIN huh? ehhh.... well anyways, why don't you ask one of your kind friedns to go with you to a dealer and bring that radio in. Just remove their stereo unit. All they need is proof of ownership and some sort of receipt. I just made a fake receipt with paypal and it worked. It's as easy as that. My $.02

 

they can pull it from the serial number on the radio -- honda charged me $15

 

Hey man have you tried this site yet?

Try and see if you can get it there.. I think you have to pay but atleast you will get the code..Let me know and if you still need the code I will look at mine and see if it is the same.. I am in the middle of moving so it is packed away at this moment..

 

$15 from honda?! puh-lease...last time i checked with them, they were going to charge me $150...maybe you had a typo...and $70 from acura...****...honda is so cheap....bastards

 

Thats whack I never paid a dime

 

damn i need a code too, i've been with out music for a long *** time.

 

i got a friend that works at honda - shoot me the vin number or serial codes off the radio --- i'll do you guys a favor and see if i can get them.

let me know because i'm going to call him up on tuesday....

 

why not just get a aftermarket one?

lol, w3rd

 

You don't get it from the VIN (no need to say "number" behind that btw, because that's what the N in VIN stands for). Also, Honda didn't charge me anything for my code.

If they charged you a lot, it's probably because they had to remove it from your car.

 

lol they dont have to remove anything from the car. all they do is they pull up your VIN with their system and just enter the code in. And all that is free and no charge as long as the car is registered to you and not stolen

I have gotten a radio code without a VIN before. Oh, and that radio I looked up? It wasn't registered to me because it was removed from an Si. I was never asked about my VIN.

My sister's Integra needed it's stock radio reset and guess what? She couldn't get it without removing the radio. Acura told her this. If they could look it up by VIN, why would they so often ask for the radio's serial number instead and not the VIN?

It's also strange that out of the years I've been into Hondas, you are the FIRST person I've ever heard say that you get the code using the VIN, not the radio serial number.

In fact this guy uses the serial numbers, not VINs to look up radio codes:

I just called my local Honda dealership. Sorry to have to tell you, but you're wrong.

I told them I was looking for a radio code for a '99 Civic. I asked, "Can I get that with the VIN or do I need the serial number?" Chris, from Honda replied back with, "No, the VIN won't tell us anything. We need the serial number." Those were his exact words.
