Last week my battery was dead.....now i try to turn on the radio/cd player but it asks for a code! wtf i this? what code? how do i enter it?

this happened in my civic, too. you have to take it to the dealer.

you gotta take it to the dealer and asked them for the code that is specific to that radio, they might charge you for it. Or you can take out your radio and get the serial code. Take your insurance/car with you to prove that its your radio, and they can give you the code. Some radios, without taking it out, you can enter a combination of keys and it will pop up with a general serial code... and the dealer with get a list of codes.Be careful cuz you only get a limited amount of tries.

look in the manual, i don't know too much about hondas, but in the manual of my Kia, it has my radio code, try that. If it doesn't work, go to a dealership

If you have the manual with the car, check it for the radio code. It should be in there.You might be able to call the dealership and see if they have a code that they can give you.It's a code they programmed into the radio so that if you don't have the code the radio won't work. (like if it's stolen)I think Honda is the only one that puts that stupid thing on their stock radios automatically. The aftermarket ones usually will give you the option.

The dealer has to hook up a scanner to your car any time the battery is disconnected and reflash the radio, putting the code back in.

you would need to contact your local honda dealer and provide them your radio serial number which is located on the bottom of your radio. with the serial number , the honda dealer can look up your radio code. but before all that , if you are the original owner , call the dealer and alot of times when they do the PDI's (pre delivery inspection). is likely that your radio code could have be recorded with the dealer that youbought it from.
