Free radio codes serial # U1111

look for a small sticker inside the glove box or inside the owners manual.
If you cannot find it, pull the radio out and get the serial number off the unit, then contact a honda dealership service drive.

Tell them you changed the battery and need a code for the radio.
Have the radio serial number handy and maybe the VIN number from the suv.

They will give you a code to use.

There is a little fuse box to the left of the steering wheel with a cover over it. When you take off the cover on the under side of the cover there is a big number (like big font size) printed on a piece of paper. It like 5 or 6 digits long and obviosly numbers that can go into your stereo, like 1-6. If you type it in and it works it will make a beeping sound.

If that doesnt help, call your local Honda dealership and get the code from them. You can also obtain a user manual. All the needed info can be found on this page:

It would be unethical to give you that code without you showing proof of ownership. as a Honda owner, you can register with Honda on line, and getting your radio code is 1 of their services.

my guess, this is the RADIO (you never said what it was) serial number.
if you lost the radio code, you must go to honda dealer
with the radio code and get it.
the car cam new with a card, showing this number.
the operators guide,states, get the number from the radio
day one, or first time the battery goes (car bat) dead, the radio will lock out. its too late for that now , but do read the operators guides. they are free for all honda's . missing in glove box. ?

You will have to get the code from a local Honda automotive dealership in your area . You will need the display code or serial number and proof of ownership for the vehicle before they will give you the proper unlock code for your radio .

You will need the radio serial number, hope you have it written down, otherwise it will need to be removed.
Go to this site...
www.radio-code.com for information

Any Honda dealer will be able to supply the code for your radio serial number matched with your vin # .
Check in your owners manual.....it may be written in there or it may be on a card in there.
Write it in the manual when you do get it from the dealer.......which is the only place you can get the code.

The radio code that you are looking for is also called the "Anti-theft" code.

Check the glove box of your car and look for a card that has the code. If you could not find a card, contact the dealer or manufacturer and give them the serial number of the radio.

They are the only one who could provide you that code, it's because the radio code is unique with every car radio. This is to make sure that the radio would be useless once stolen.

This usually happens once you disconnect or run out of battery or you change your starter.

Kindly contact the manufacturer for the code.

Have a great day!

If the power from your battery to the Honda radio is interrupted the Anti-Theft feature kicks in, the radio is rendered inoperable and the screen reads 'CODE'. You must enter in the Anti-Theft Radio Unlock Code (usually 5 digits) to make it operational again. You know that much by now.
