So..... I had to change the battery on Mary's CR-V and now I can't find the damn radio code. Is there any other way of figuring it out without taking it to the dealer and having to possibly pay out of the wazoo? Thanking you in advance for your help.

 

Dumb answer on my part have you checked the owners manual ?

 

Pm me your # and ill try to help you tomoro.

Look around the car the dealer usually write it somewhere , in the console ,the glove compartment.on my Acura it is written on the jack compartment door.

 

If none of theis works... just take it to the dealer... they'll look it up with proof of ownership

 

It's just time for a new head unit. I just put one in my Accord due to the factory one was having problems. Man they've gotten so much cheaper and better. See if the card in in the fold somewhere in the Owner's Manual

 

Diz - In case you are interested in taking this route, I still have my Alpine CDA-9887 head unit from the S that I would be willing to let go cheap.

 

noyamill - I have several times hoping that I just missed it stuck in a page or something. Unfortunately there has been no luck.

S2LEGEND - PM has been sent. Thank you for your help!

Pete - I'm gonna go out now and see if I can't find it somewhere else in the car. Thank you for the advice

Mike - I don't think I want to change out the stock one yet. It is Mary's car and she isn't into the "fancy" stuff. HOWEVER if I end up getting the CR-V here in the near future and we get a "gasp" mini van then I would be interested in swapping it

Smags - Good to see you yesterday at the car show, and yeah I have looked in the manual several times with no luck but that was a good idea

 

Call Honda of Frontenac (I have no affiliation with them). I gave them the S/N (last 8 digits?) from my radio and they looked it up for free. I've always had good service from the parts department. I buy my Honda specific fluids (MTF, coolant, and dual pump II fluid for an Element) from them as the prices are nearly identical to the internet after factoring in shipping.

 

Thank you all for the advice. I ended up going to Leta and they looked it up in the system and we are good to go.
