wtf is up with my radio code?
Installed intake yesterday and had to disconnect battery. When i hooked the battery up, the car asked me for the radio code. I have the code number and serial number, so i thought it would be a breeze. I typed in the 5 number radio code, but it kept saying error--Error1, Error2, Error3, ect. I tried putting in the code 10x, now it says Error E, and now I can't enter the radio code anymore. On the back of the card that has the radio code and serialnumber, it says verbatim "When the unit is switched on after being disconnected from the batter, "CODE" will be displayed. Enter the code using the preset buttons. Even if "CODE" is still displayed after you enter teh code NO., input the code No. again". yea, i entered the code 10x, and it still says error. Could i get some help here.

I've never had to enter a radio code into a '92-'00 civic in my entire life.
Just unplug the battery for 30 seconds, then put it back on, turn the radio on. When it prompts you for the code turn it off again, then turn it on, and keep [freak]ing with hit (hitting the power button, and then turn it back on, and hit the FM button - eventually it'll give up and stop asking for the code.
I know it sounds like a half assed answer but I've never had it fail on a '92-'00 civic. I can do that a lot faster than my friend can call the dealership with the radio's serial #.
