Hey Guys, i know people have posted treads about them having issues about their radio and having the code problems. Well its a little bit different in my case. What do i do if the radio blocked me out? I have the code, the dealer put it in the case and i used it, but it locked me out. So i have no idea, how i can unlock its so i can try the code again. Plz I need your help and is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Andrew

Once you plug the battery back if you press CD on the stock radio it should light up with Enter Code just put in the 4 digit code then. If that doesnt work stop by the dealership and they should be able to do it for you for free even if your warranty is up. They have written the wrong code done....all they would need to do is look it up on their computer system.
Good luck...

Thanks guys, well i went to the dealer, because everyone was saying its free, the dealer told me that its $120 per hour!!! They couldnt even look it up on the computer! I was like thats some bull shit! So ill give the dealer a call, and hopefully they arent dicks again and try to charge me.

When i worked at Honda for a short while, either your car & code is on file or the radio must be pulled , and the number on the radio is used to get the code from Honda (acura) to get an input radio code. Now weather it's free or not ? I would drive to a dealer, go in with radio in hand (car in parking lot , vehicle permit in wallet) and ask if they can get you an input code from their online service . That way your your car , radio , and proof of ownership are all present.

Yeah, i went in person, and theyre goin to charge me 120. and i was like, shit, i could just buy a new radio. They wouldnt even let me take it out and show them the code. They couldnt even look it up for me! So i called like 5 min ago, and i asked, if i could get the code, blah blah blah, and the guy was like, no, your goin to have to bring down the car, and itll be 120.

Well i have the code, now, its like a business care and it has the code and serial number, now the problem is, once i restart the battery and i put the code it, will it work?
Because, i already put the code in, it wouldnt work. so now i just need help with puting the code, in. Is there a special way i have to put the code in?

alright, well i came to conclusion that, i have the wrong code. So i called the previous owner and i asked if he had the code, and he said he does but not with him at the moment. So he said hell call me when hes home after work. So wish me luck that he has it, cuz i really dont want to pay 120 for a 6 diget code.
