So I finally got around to getting tired of not having a radio. If anyone remembers my previous threads, I reset my battery and lost the little paper that had my radio code on it.

The code is nowhere else on my vehicle. Ive been told to check door jams, under the rear trunk lid, trunk liners, glove compartments (center and passenger), under the engine bay fuse box cover and the one under my steering column. Its not even in my owners manual packet thing or in any of the books my car came with.

The first time this happened the dealer said they found the code on a sticker under my trunk lid.. that sticker has magically disappeared. Even the dealership cant find the code on the car!

So they told me they usually get it from underneath the actual OEM radio unit. It should be printed underneath.

I have my radio in my hand.. I dont see the 5 digit code...anywhere.. anybody know where it might be under this 5"x 5" radio...?

 

id buy a new CD player...but something the Honda dealer isnt checking!

 

Yea Im ordering a new alpine this week, I just want some tunes already.. the sound of wind coming through my monstrous single cam is wearing off already..

 

did you check on top of the den that goes under the radio?

 

yea.. nada

 

wow lmao
im having the same problem as you man.
let me see...
samething happeend to me and ive been livin witout music in that car for 2 months.
couple days after my bday. i got use to it of course...but gosh..
i practically made every person sitting on the shotgun seat play with the Coding.
10 tries ur out lol. im getting a new deck this week too. not sure wut kind...
probably pioneer

 

there is a TINY sticker with the code that should be on top of the center console between the two air vents (maybe on top / around the hazard lights button area) but the last digit MIGHT be missing. Ie mine is "3223" and the "secret" digit is a 2. so it's 32232. yeah you pay the dealership $50 for a number.

I don't know but it could just be four digits lol. I only messed with my stock cd player once and replaced it with an aftermarket. Check elsewhere on ur center console for the sticker too. It's the size of a postage stamp.

 

the dealer looked up my code using my vin number and i got it for free

 

hmm...
ill look into that

 

you might have to take it to the original dealer. i purchased my car from teh original dealer so that might have had an impact

 

you can get a radio code from the serial number thats on your radio unit, the actual code will not be printed on the unit. I work at an acura dealer in canada so if you pm me your serial number i can try to get you your code. an easier way to get the serial number is hold down numbers 1 and 6 (your radio preset buttons) and turn the radio on. It will give you 2 sets of numbers and that will be your serial number.

 

I had the same problem and pulled my radio, took the radio serial to the dealer and in about 3 seconds they gave me the code, free.

 

same thing happened to me. i took it to the dealer (not where i bought it from) and the did someing with the fuses and gave me a new code. They didn't charge me.

 

Mine was stuck in the glovebox.

Took me a week to find it though. haha

 

you ROCK!!! i have an 05 Honda Civic, there was a sticker on my glovebox, thank you!!!

Let the music play!!!!!!!!!!
