Have Radio Code but Can't Figure out How to Enter it
 

Hi,

I did a search before posting this but haven't found the right
answer... we bought our son a 1995 Honda Civic and didn't realize the
factory-installed radio wouldn't work after replacing the battery.
After searching on the web I found where the radio code sticker was in
the car but it doesn't look like I can figure out the right way to
enter the code.

One post said to use the presets and push the first one say, three
times if the first code number is three and so on. I tried that and
there's no response at all on the radio. It almost seems like there's
something I should push before or after entering these numbers, the
word CODE is constant and doesn't seem to be responding. I even tried
multiple times to just see if I could get code to change to error.

If anyone can give me advice I sure would appreciate it. My son really
misses his radio!

TIA,
Brenda

if code is 15435 just press the pre sets in that order and radio should come
on

I tried pressing them in that way as well as the other way and the
radio didn't do anything but sit there saying CODE. Geez, this sure
makes me feel stupid.

You may not have the correct code. Assuming you do, then you simply
press the numbers in order. However, if you enter the wrong code two
or three times then the radio locks up. If that has happened, you have
to wait one hour, with the radio turned on, for it to reset.

Try pulling the under-hood fuse called RADIO/BACKUP for 30 seconds. Then
try the code again. This stuff is in the owner's manual. If you don't
have one, just search this newsgroup for the links to online manuals.
