I just bought a 93 civic, and the previous owner did not have the code for the radio. someone please help.

 

Just go to a local Honda dealer and ask for it. They're gonna need the serial number and/or model number of the stereo. They did it free of charge for me.

 

I simply keep entering random *** codes while switching the ignition on and off for a few minutes.

While nobody seems to believe it works - I've never had it *not* work... It's not exactly vault security...

EDIT:
Clarify, "on/off" means switching between "off" and "stage 1" - (no dummy lights, but acc power, you need the radio to get powered).

 

ok i called yesterday and they wanted 110 bucks to give it to me, ill call again

 

screw that. even if you gave them the serial number? it takes literally 3 seconds for them to do it.

if nothing else just go buy an aftermarket radio.

 

try calling at a different time or day. or try at another honda dealership. it should be free, got a code for mine a while ago and it was free.

 

if you have no other place to go to, then just complain that 110 bucks can buy you a new one. lol they might do it then.

 

Yeah, my local dealer wanted to charge 40 bucks to do it. I think you just need to make friends with the guy at the parts counter.
