From what I read you have to have the VIN of the car the radio it from to get the radio code of the radio you have. I pulled two out of a junk yard car, I could go back, I know which one came out of which car, the other not so sure. Guess I could pull another and get the vin # also THIS TIME.
I am getting these for my brothers kid. She has no cassette in hers and the aux plug adapter he put on it quit.

You need the radio s/n and proof of ownership. A dealership should be able to pull them for you.

All the Acura dealer made ME do for a code, was to give them the serial numbers off a sticker on the back of the stereo. Honda dealer is probably the same I would think. Good luck.

Usually you can call up a dealer and ask for the parts counter and read them a serial number off the back of the radio

If they give you hell then hang up and try the next one

Shoot, I even had a dealer cut KEYS for me once from simply a VIN number without any type of proof of ownership

I just found out that this site..

https://radio-navicode.honda.com/

you can put in your car vin number and any radio serial number (clearly from the radio you want to use) will work to get the code pulled. The radio does not have to be out of the orig car/vin# to get the code.
