i toke out my stock radio, but i cant find the code to work my radio again. does any1 know where it is?

 

check your manual.......if not honda charges like $80 or some crazy ish like that, butit shoudl be in your manual.

 

Its on a little plastic card - same size as a credit card. Look around with the owners manual, but maybe the PO threw it away. I think the dealer charges an hour to remove the radio so they can read the serial # of the radio. You've already done that. Go to a dealer & ask. You may need some kind of 'proof' that you didn't steal it...

If you just walk in with the radio in your hand, they don't even have to pull the car into the garage. If they're nice they might look up the code for free.

ya this sucks the origanal owner didnt leave the owners manual in the car when i bought it. well i guess im gonna have to see if acura will help.

 

Yeah... they'll ask for a shitload of money cuz that's what they do...

 

call an acura dealer. provide the vin# for vehicle and they can get it for you. Thats what I did

 

I went to my dealership to get mine and they wrote it on a business card and handed it to me.. no charge, no questioning

 

Here is what you can do. First, check under the ashtray and under the ECU fuse box cover. Sometimes dealers put the radio code there. If it is not in either of those spots, get the serial number off the radio and call the dealer for the code.

The dealer usually charges 80 bucks for the removal of the radio to get the serial number but you can see the number by looking up at the radio from the passengerside footwell. HTH

 

e-mail me the serial number off of the radio and I will get it for you

Ok, Pop your hood... remove ur fuse box cover, and look under it (under the cover).. there should be the code.. that's where mine is...

 

some dealers i've heard of are actually cooler than others and have given the code free of charge if you drivein and show them ur car. so u may want to try that.

 

I had to this once and I just called the dealer. They gave me the code over the phone.

 

someone wrote it on the stereo itself on mine....

wish i would have known that before i go punching buttons for an hour....

 

I seriously dont think a dealership would charge for a number they are required to give you. A dealer also has your VIN number which they are able to make copies of your keys incase you need a key-- I THINK..

anyway my friend sold me his prelude cd player, and didnt have the number, called them, said i had to go there. so my friend went/ showed registration/ license and serial adn they gave it to him.

 

your car shoulda came with the leather binder with a card inside.. check it out!!!

 

Read my post above

 

1) Sticker in the glovebox
2) Sticker on the bottom of the armrest
3) Sticker on the bottom of the ashtray

 

Get the serial number off the back. Call any honda or acura dealers ship, they should give you the code.

 

they usually just wont give it over the phone, what would the purpose of the code be then?

 

they gave me the code over the phone . . all i gave them was the serial number on my stock head unit . .

 

uh, well you could just send ME the radio....jk

Quite honestly, the code doesn't serve much of a purpose anymore. Nobody steals stock radios. When was the last time you heard someone say "my stock radio got stolen"? To the dealer it just represents a hassle when people lose the card. It's easier to give it out over the phone than to have someone come in and wait in line, and to them it makes little to no difference.

 

You'd be surprised the demand for stock cd players.
