My 2004 odyssey's radio is locked. the code

My 2004 odyssey's radio is locked. my son put change in the cd player. i pulled the radio, retrieved the change, and now it won't turn on at all. also, before i knew that there was money in the cd player, the "code" message came up. i didn't know what i was doing and pushed buttons until there was no more "code" message. i've pulled the fuse and disconnected the battery. why can't i get it to turn on at all? is there another reset button somewhere?

Hi '04 Ody owner, I too have the save vehicle and have had some problems with my CD player/radio as well. During my online research, I have learned several things that you may find helpful.

First, if your radio loses power (dead battery, disconnected battery, pulled or burnt fuse), it will needs a 5-digit code input using the pre-set buttons to re-activate it. If you say "Code" in the display, that is what it was looking for. This code is usually on a card about the size of a business card that came with the vehicle when you purchased it. Often times it is in the glove compartment with your other vehicle manuals. If you don't have this for whatever reason, there are a couple web sites you can obtain the code, but you'll need your VIN and the serial number on your radio. My serial number was on a sticker on the top of the radio (within the dash). Alternatively, you can go to a dealer, and they may be able to obtain the code for you.

If now your radio won't turn on at all, you will need to check both fuse #9 and #11 within the fuse compartment at the foot of the front passenger well. If those are fine, close the battery in the engine compartment, there is another fuse box. Check those as well - in some instances a box fuse was blown which blocked all power the radio unit. So it seems logical to check this as a possible source.

Hope this helps.

The radio is displaying the word CODE which means you need to put in the code. The code is usually written in the owners manual or on a card that looks like a credit card. If you can't find the code, you will need to bring it to the Honda dealer and have them pull the radio to retrieve the code.

Have a 2004 Chevrolet 1500 pickup that the CD player went out on. Replaced it was wondering what is involved in retrieving the unlock code. It currently says "Locked" on the radio face.

The dealer will need to get the code to unlock the radio. How it works is they retrieve a code from the radio, thenthe code is called in to get another code to unlock the radio.

They will charge you for this. It usually takes about a half an hour.

Dido. Dead battery replaced in Honda Odyssey, 2 codes entered, one for GPS, one for Radio/CD/DVD (I thought). Everything working except DVD - says "loading" all the time. Any solutions, anybody? I'd...

I got the solution from another website and tried it today for this problem. You need to pull the fuse for the radio (slot 5 on my Honda) and for probably over 20 minutes or so. When you do this, the DVD player resets upon re-inserting the fuse. The solution on another website said 1 hour but it didn't take that long, however, I tried pulling the fuse for about 5-10 minutes and it didn't work. There's nothing wrong with the fuse so you don't need to replace it but it just needs to be pulled for a while. Then go to your service record book in your glove compartment and re-enter your radio security code to bring the radio back online.

I have an Odyseey 2004 ex/ex-l model cd/radio player. The battery died a week ago. After replacing, I am getting a "code err 3" message on the screen. Neither the radio or cd player work. Before I go buy...

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 people say that they have found the code on a sticker inside the glove compartment, but I wouldn’t count on that). 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.)
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 helps you understand the process.

Unlock antitheft code for 2004 chevy impala

Radios in the 2004 Impalas are tied to the vehicle's VIN through the computer, so it may be somewhat difficult to get the code. However, the following steps should work:

1. Press and hold the buttons for presets 1 & 4 (may be 2 & 3). The word "SEC" should show.
2. Press the "MIN" button. "000" should be displayed.
3. Press the "MIN" button again to have the second two numbers appear. Record these numbers.
4. Press the "HR" button for the first two numbers to appear. Record these numbers. -- Note: Your number sequence should be the numbers from the "HR" button followed by the numbers from the "MIN" button.
5. Call 1-800-537-5140. This will get you to the GM unlock code automated line. Ignore the prompt and enter "202108#". Next enter your code (remember, HR then MIN) followed by the * key. For example, 1234*. A 3 or 4 digit code will be given to you. If you get a code such as 0532, drop the zero when entering it into your radio.
6. Enter the code into the radio IAW the applicable manual.
