I thought I'd be smart and take one of the stickers I got from the dealer that had the reactivation code on it for the radio if the battery ever died or was disconnected, and stick it to the back of one of my keyless remotes. Well, I looked at it today and the number is gone. Rubbed off as if it were never there. Luckily I still have the card with the number on it in my wallet.

I think I might tape a small piece of paper somewhere inconspicuous in the car with the number on it. I know I'll friggin' lose it if I don't.

This isn't the most stealthy thing to do, but I wrote the code to my radio in the owner's manual .

Sticking it on your battery works until you get your battery replaced and they dump the old one before you pick up the car...

Good idea though, I was thinking under the elastic band on the center console in the "inaccessable glove box" myself.

Did everyone get the their radio code from the dealer? I didn't get mine. I saw a blank card (business card size) in the secret compartment to write the radio code pn but there is nothing on it...WTF!!!

I've kept the code card in my wallet (if I lose my wallet, I'm in deeper doo-doo than losing the code). Also, the dealer should have recorded the code or should be able to track it for you, I believe...

Don't worry guys, if you every lose it Honda can find out what it was, or they have master codes that will unlock it. I keep mine at home with all my paperwork from the car. Keeping your code in your car kinda defeats the purpose.

Brett, I figured a tech-head like you would just put the radio code in his Palm Pilot!

Actually, I'm in this situation right now. I bought my car used and the code did not come with it. I called the dealer and was told that all I need it the serial number off the back of the radio and they could retrieve the code from their system.
