=============================

For sure it's in the 2002 CR-V PDI sheets:

http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/tsb/crv/x01-094e.pdf

You should be able to figure out the CORRECT serial number (on your
Pilot) if you follow the CR-V instructions...

I wonder if the radio has been replaced for some reason?
That would explain the code not working;it doesn't match the unit you have.
I guess then you would have to remove the radio,read it's serial number,and
obtain the correct code from a Honda dealer.

Hi .. I'm the original owner and the dealer noted the radio code on my
delivery paperwork along with the anti theft stickers in the car ...
Its a mystery.
Thanks,

That's what this PDF document is about . Since about '00, the stereos
will all tell you their serial number if you apply the trick described
in the PDI Sheets:

Thanks Jim ... you were correct, its a different radio .. the dealer
before delivery must have found a problem and switched in a new
radio. I'll call them tomorrow ..

it might have been some optional "better" radio,and the car's paperwork and
sticker change got forgotten.
