Just bought my honda civic and need to know the code to setting the stereo can not turn radio on without code no indtruction manual

Best Answer:you need the anti-theft code to reactivate the stereo. there are a few ways to get it

1) if you have the paperwork that came with the car, there should be a white credit card sized piece of plastic with the owners manual that has the code on it.

2) if you can't find the card, look on the inside walls of the glove box for a white sticker. That sticker should have a 5 digit code. that is your anti-theft code for the radio.

3) if you can't find either, then follow this procedure
with the key in the igintion turned "ON" but the radio turned off, hold in the radio preset station buttons numbered 1 & 6 at the same time. Then, while holding them in, turn the radio ON. You will see a set of 5 numbers and letters come up on the display starting with the letter U. release the station buttons. A second set of numbers and letter will come up starting with the letter L.

write both sets of those numbers down. that is the serial number for the radio. then, call any Honda dealer service department and ask them to look up the code for you. it takes about a minute.

if you bought the car new, call the dealer you bought it from as they may have the code on file without having to go through looking it up

hope that helps

If you bought the car new, it should have come with a small credit card sized card with the radio code. If you bought it used, it may be in with the owners manual or other paperwork. If no avail, you will need to contact Honda with the VIN number to get the code.

Try to locate the unique code number that will unlock the theft-protected audio system on your 2003 Honda Civic. It probably was imprinted on an anti-theft identification card that you should have received when you acquired the car. The code was printed on a document that came with your owner's manual packet

If you do not have the code, you will need to track down the audio system's serial number. In the case of the 2003 Honda Civic, finding the serial number may require seeking assistance from a Honda dealer. The dealer should be able to determine the audio system's special code number so you can reset the radio. With some newer Honda Civic models, the serial number can be retrieved electronically from the radio.

If you are able to locate the serial number of your 2003 Honda Civic's audio system without a dealer's assistance, you can obtain the special code by going online to the Honda Web site. You must first provide specific information to prove you own the car. For instance, you will need the Civic's vehicle identification number, or VIN, and the audio system's serial number.

When you know what the audio system's special code number is, use the preset buttons on the car radio to punch in the digits. This should reset the audio system, enabling you to resume using the radio and the CD player.

If you have the owners manual the dealer has probably put it somewhere in it. It is a 5 number series of 1 thru 6. If you cannot find it in the owners manual. Turn your stereo off and press and hold the #1 and #6 buttons on the radio. While holding them press the power button and that will give you the ser. # of the radio. You can contact your dealer and they can supply you with that info. Or you may have to contact the radio supplier for the code.

I bought a car that had one of those systems installed once and thats how I got it to work after I changed the battery.

The code for the radio needs to be input. the radio must have been disconnected from the battery.
look for the code on a card in the glove box. if no card, then u have to pull the stereo out and get the serial # to the dealership.
