Retrieve Your Honda Radio Code Now : How To

If your Honda radio is asking for a code, follow these steps to retrieve it. If you still can’t unlock your radio, visit your local Honda dealer or call Honda’s customer service at 1-800-999-1009 for assistance.

Why is my Honda asking for the radio code?

The most common reason your Honda will request a radio code is due to battery disconnection or replacement. Whenever the battery is disconnected or completely drained, the radio may prompt you to enter the code. Often, simply pressing and holding the power button for 2 seconds can reset the radio without needing the code. If this doesn’t work, you’ll need to enter the radio code manually.

How to Retrieve the Honda Radio Code

1. Check Your Glove Box or Owner’s Manual
   • Look for a sticker inside the glove box or owner’s manual. This sticker contains both the radio code and the radio serial number.
