It is what makes the radio useless to someone who steals it. You need the radio serial number to get the code from a dealer, or registering with Honda online as the owner. Hold preset #1 and #6 down and then turn on radio, keeping 1 and 6 pressed. Serial # is 8 digits, displayed 4 at a time.

If you recently disconnected your vehicle battery, or had it replaced, the code on the radio must be re-entered in order for it to work. It's a security device to discourage theft since you have to have the code to make it come on. The code is printed on a little plastic card in with your owner manual or other papers. You have to enter the code correctly or you will lock yourself out after three trys. This can only be reset by leaving the radio in the on position and the car on (not running, just turn the key to the on position) for and HOUR! I know, I had to do it. Anyway, enter the code and voila! the radio will magically come back on. Write the code down in the manual so you don't have to hunt for the card. A thief may steal your radio, but he probably won't take the manual.

The dealer where you bought the vehicle should be able to help you with this code. Sometimes a sticker is affixed inside the glovebox too.
Good Luck!

open the rear hatch. Between the tail light housing and the rear hatch opening there is a trim strip with two flush fitted flap doors. Insert a small straight blade screwdriver into the small slot on the tail light side of the flap. Pry gently inboard and the small flap will open (the hinge side of the flap is on the side of the rear hatch opening.) Now you can remove the screws that hold the tail lamp assembly in place. Finally, there is still a "spear point" clip that fits into a socket near the front outboard corner of the assembly. Gently pry with a tape wrapped screwdriver (avoids scratches) and force the assembly straight back. The clip should release and free the assembly so you can change the bulb(s).

If an audio unit with theft protection is disconnected from electrical power, you must enter a unique code number into the unit or it will not work. This code and the audio unit’s serial number are listed on the anti-theft ID card that comes with the vehicle. If this card is lost, you must obtain the audio unit serial number in order to get the radio code. Some newer vehicles allow you to retrieve the audio unit serial number electronically from the radio. Refer to your owner’s manual for the specific procedure (the following usually will work: Turn the radio off. Push the preset 1, preset 6, and power buttons at the same time, then quickly release.)
. Some older vehicles (model year 2003 and older) require a visit to the dealer in order to retrieve the audio unit serial number. Once you have the audio unit serial number, you can call Auto Customer Service at (800) 999-1009 or have the dealer look up the radio code.
Hope this gets you started on getting it playing.
