Here you go, I hope this helps. Its pretty simple. http://lucidauto.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv...ode=radioremove -Michael.

 

How to obtain the serial number without taking out the HU:

(not 100% sure this will work on an '01, but 02-up definitely. If this fails, the instructions from lucid automotive worked for me when I installed their rear speakers).

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.

Once you get your code from Honda, write it down in 6 different places like I did.

Thanks for your input

I was lookin to see if there was any little details to make sure i didnt crack the part i have to pry off...thanks for the useless response though.....

thanks alot 1HOTBMW after i read the instructions it took me about 5 minutes to take care of...i also installed lucid rear speakers and new door speakers in the process...big improvment with 4 speakers, now instead of the stock 2...

and sorry again for the newb post, ive never dealed with audio in my life, my friend used to do it all for me cause he loved it so much, he moved away and now i gotta do it...funny how some people waste their time with useless responses though...ah whatever.

Thanks again though 1HOTBMW.

Ryan, no problem, i'm glad to hear that you got it out. I'm also trying to decide on some rear speakers for my s2k, what kind did you get? -Michael.

 

Come on guys. It was a little joke. Oh, look what I just found? ............... Somebody's sense of humour. Belong to anyone here?
