I own a 2001 model and swapped out my old crappy battery finally for a brand new one, and apon starting it I noticed that it needs a code to be turned back on.

Now I know I could take it to honda but they probably gona charge me a few bucks, not to menshion the drive all the way over there.

Car still has factor radio equipment in it.

Does any1 know the code to clear it? Thanks for any help!

 

Check your owners manual and see if the radio code card is tucked in there. Each car came with its own code (also check the secret compartment) There isn't a specific code that I am aware of that is universal that you could use

 

call dealership, they will ask for VIN... then they will give you code.

thats what i had to do for my stock radio.

cheers

 

oh yeah, they will tell you to press 2 buttons to pull up a code on radio (but i forgot which 2)...

 

Call the dealership. They will help. I had an similar issue with my old Civic that had a Honda Navi. They were very helpful (especially when my alarm kept going off every time I started the car with my key). I am sure my neighbors were ready to kill me after 25 minutes of the alarm blaring.

 

Yep took it to Honda dealership and they did it for free and gave me the code on a piece paper.


Thanks for the help.

 

also sometimes comes on a small label inside your trunk or hood. Or look under the fuse box lid in your engine compartment.

 

power off hold 1 and 6 press power on. it will give you the radio serial number. take that to the dealer or call.
