My friend has a 2000 honda civic. The battery was replaced by himself and
now the radio comes up with a message err or error. It did say code and we
tried several combinations but now it only comes up with the error. We must
have tried to enter the code too many times. How can this be corrected now?

Thanks.

Disconnect the battery for a few minutes, or just wait for a day. The
radio code error will reset on its own.

The battery was disconnected and replaced which caused this in the first
place. He doesn't know what the code should is. Now what?

Thanks.

Get the serial number from the headunit, probably have to pull it get it,
and take it down to the dealer. Some charge for the code, some don't.
You're going to need the VIN also, it's a lot more convincing when you have
the radio in your hand and a gutted dashed Honda in the lot.

He should rummage through the owners manual and anything else that he has
left over from when the car was new. The code was originally on a sheet of
little stickers that maybe somebody stuck in the book or somewhere in the
car (Glove box?).

Otherwise, they dealer can get it for him if he gives them the serial number
on the radio.

To save pulling the radio out of the dash, check with the dealer, as
some radios will display the serial number when various buttons are
pressed together.

Pull out the ash tray (if it has one) and check under there.
