I've had my S2000 for 6 years and have never listened to the radio. I don't care too much. The car sounds so good and I rarely drive it without the top down. But my wife has been asking me to solve the radio issue.

I took my car to the local Honda dealer and the mechanic told me I would have to remove the radio in order to get the serial number off the radio in order to get the security code. Does this sound legit? I really don't want to remove the radio.....

TIA

 

Yea. Unfortunately you’ll have too. If you can get me the radio SN I can pull the code for you. Check your paperwork. It usually a small credit card sized with 2 numbers on it. One is the code and other is the SN. Also at the time of when the car was pdi, they might of attached the sn in the glove box, trunk or door jamb

You don't have to remove anything. This link: https://www.hondapartsonline.net/blo...nda-radio-code

 

if he already went to the dealer and they told him e radio has to be removed then ya he’d have to in order to get the SN unless he can find that tag. The SN is on the radio itself. You can try holding 1 & 6 and turn radio on and see if it gIves you the sn but older hondas didn’t have that option. You can use the link or pm me the sn and I’ll log in to Honda network and pull the code for you.

 

OH heck you can have the radio out in 15 minutes..and that's with a cold beer

 

Hmm that's odd. When I had my Acura TL all i had to do was call the dealership for the code.

 

MY 2006. I have the radio code card card but out of curiosity I tried 1&6 + radio on. No joy.

I believe it has to be in the code status. Radio off, hold 1&6 and power on then it should display sn. Never tried on a radio that was already working

 

Makes sense My radio works and isn't displaying "CODE" when turned on. I may have to get around to programming some frequencies, I never use the radio though.
