I have 99 accord. radio s/n is 98d12847. v/n is JHMCG5657XC020732. Battery went dead and its 30 miles to Honda dealer. Thanks for any help

 

call the honda dealer and say i need my radio code and give them the S/N of the radio
theyl give u the code i just did this last week

 

^x2 theres no other way to retrieve the code unless a previous owner knows it of course.

 

does the dealer normally charge for the radio code?

 

No. They will only charge you if you bring in the car and they have to remove the radio to get the serial number to get the code. If they balk, just politely thank them for their time, hang up, and call another dealership.

That being said, it's an 11 year old radio, consider upgrading an aftermarket. There are some really nice ones out there on Crutchfield in the $150 range.
