Ok,

I just got my new jvc HU from sonix electronics, Im going to install it this week. I have everything prepped the old hu just has to be unhooked. However, I have never done a HU install on a vehicle with the security codes. Where are the codes located? If I dont have them will my HU be any good after I take it out? I got my s2k used and I dont even have an owners manual. I'm sure the codes are not located on the hu itself that just wouldn't make any sense. Im going to take it out anyway its so weak its not even funny, but Im going to want to put it back when I sell my car.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!!!

 

you call the dealership and tell them the code on the top of the radio and they can tell you the code, some people say you can hold 1 and 6 and it will tell you the code, but that never worked for me

 

The 1 and 6 trick only works on 2002 (or is it 03?) and later radios. Also, I don't hink it gives you the code, just the number you need to get the code from the dealer -- so that you don't have to remove the radio. Since the OP is removing the radio, that is not relevant.

 

Ownerlink https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com can get you your radio code.

Never used it myself though.

 

If you still have your owners manual and everything, there is a credit card size card in one of the books. I forget which one I found it in, not the large manual, but there are two smaller ones. Also, you can get it from a Honda Dealer.

 

Thats right friends. I found this,
https://radio-navicode.honda.com/
and yes it works (providing you have everything to verify ownership)

You can also call 1-800-999-1009

Turn OFF the device.
Press and hold the 1 and 6 radio preset buttons, and turn ON the device.
The display toggles between two screens: U with the first 4 digits of the serial number (U2200 for example,)

Ignore the U and L and record all 8 digits
