CODE HELP!!
Hey guys,
I'm experiencing issues with my OEM radio/cd player. I disconnected the battery to do some work. After reconnecting the battery, I get a CODE message on my radio screen. I called Honda Dealer, gave them the serial # off the radio and they gave me the security code. I punch it in, and nothing happens. After three tries I don't hear beeps anymore, but CODE still appears on the screen. Another dealer said that ERROR should appear on the screen, so he thinks it's the radio itself that's the problem... but it was working perfectly before! He said it's going to be cheaper to just get another radio instead of having to send the OEM one to the shop for inspection. Has anyone else gone through this problem? Can anyone give me any clues that I should use? I really don't want to spend money on a radio if I know the original one works fine. Thanks in advance, Dave |

Have you had trouble with one of your buttons not working correctly? If it doesn't enter correctly, according to the manual, you have to leave it on ONE hour, then you can try again, up to three times. Code is often on a sticker in the glove box, or inside the fuse box cover, or it should be written inside the Owner's Manual. Writing it inside the fuse box is a good idea, since you may not have the manual with the vehicle on a trip. 'Curly' |

Re: CODE HELP!!
I had no prior problems with my buttons, all work fine. I try three times,
then I disconnect the battery cable so I can reset itself again. I'll try looking in the fuse box. I bought the car used with no manuals or nothing. I'm already looking for another radio. I can't believe this happens to me, I mean for no reason what so ever the radio doesn't wanna work. Here's another question... does the radio have a different serial # then the CD player? I gave the dealer the serial # I saw beneath the CD player when you take out the ash tray. I'm assuming since it's "one piece", it'll be the same # for both. I mean why would they give me a security code for the CD player when it's not the CD player that freezes. I had different people from the dealers tell me two stories, yes they are the same and no they are different. Even in the print out the dealer gave me, it says radio/cd unit.

The dealer where the car was serviced often keeps the CODE on file, since the technicialns have to reset it from time to time. It might be much easier to find out where it was serviced most often, and ask them. 'Curly' |
