No, but you can take the HU out yourself, and tell the dealer all the numbers they need to know.

The one good use I've had for the Honda Owners website is storing my radio code for my vehicles. Once you get it, you may want to consider this as an option.

my dealer was able to pull the radio code based upon my VIN number... see if that's an option from your dealer.

i seem to recall reading on here a method of powering up the headunit w/ several keys pressed that would echo back the serial number of the head unit which you could use to get the code.

let me see if i can track it down.

of course, the search stinks, so who knows if i'm going to find it...

edit: an hour wasted, and no luck. sorry.

edit2: sonofa!

FOUND IT!

If you have done a reset or see code on your radio and need the sn to get the antifheft code from honda's database..heres what you do.

turn off unit press and hold #1 & #6 presets while turning the radio on. the display toggles between 2 screens the first displays a U and the second screen an L. Ignore the letters that's your units serial # Ex. U1234 L4321 your serial # is 12344321. Honda just enters that on their puter and you have the antitheft code put in by honda. Beats tearing out the radio.
