Headunit code

[Going-West]

Hey guys, I was doing some maintenance on my civic this weekend as it just clicked past 100K, so as a precaution when changing my fuel filter I unhooked my negative battery cable...it slipped my mind that this would set off the anti-theft mode on my stock headunit. I need the 5 digit code to unlock it, and I can't find the number on any stickers anywhere...door jams, glove box, fuse boxes, underhood, anything. And I'd really rather not spend the 100 bucks or so at the dealership to get a new one. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking maybe taking the radio out and seeing if theres anything on the back of the headunit. Do any of the CC members that work for Honda think they could help me out? Listening to music while I drive is really important to me, I'd really appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance

check somewhere around your manual book, it should be there.

I looked for the little card or whatever where the manual is but couldn't find it. I'll look harder tomorrow I guess...

bring it to dealer, they're supposed to provide you with the code for free no matter what. it just doesnt really make any sense if they charge you fee for it.

last time i just called my dealer and they provide it to me for free, just bring proof of ownership, registration, license, blah blah

Really? That would be nice...I googled it to see what other people have had this problem and what they did and I got a bunch of people saying they had to go to the dealer and pay 80-100 bucks to get the code...I'll call the dealership tomorrow and see what they say. Thanks!

if one says no, call up another dealer.

i think one of the mods here, sk8shorty017, he work as honda parts manager or something like that. might as well hit him up.

Yeah I was kind of hoping someone that works for honda would see this...but I'll call the dealer tomorrow. They werent open today when I called.

look in ur glove compartment..sometime they are on the sticker in there..that's where i found out what my tires size and psi are..no they are not on the door...i've looked..

 

[ryanM]

its in y0 trunk

pop the trunk, the sticker is right on the hinge, DO IT!

 

[Going-West]

So sticker in the glove compartment, my sticker with the tire pressures and stuff is on the drivers side door jam, and theres no headunit info there. It isn't in the trunk either. Every time I find a sticker with numbers on it I get all excited but then non of them are just numbers 1-6. Honda was gonna charge me 50 bucks for it, but they'll give me the number for free if I take the radio out and just bring them the serial number with proof of ownership. So unless you guys have any other ideas I think I'm just gonna do that.

 

[ryanM]

thats weird, mine was on the trunk hinge.

 

[Going-West]

Yeah I think they are in different places on different cars...Oh well taking the radio out is easy it's just kind of annoying.

Call another dealership... I usually call the one in Newark, DE, Martin Honda, or Tom.
Some dealerships only charge if they have to pull the radio and then look up the code.

 

[Going-West]

Well I have to take the radio out anyways (or pay someone else to) to get the serial number, once I have the serial the local dealership will give me the code for free so it's no big deal.
