Obtaining Honda Radio Security Code

Loss of power to the radio will automatically cause the radio to lock . . . it requires your security code to unlock it.

How do I find my security code:

The code may be obtained several ways . . .
  1. The 5 digit security code would have been on a card given to the original owner at time of purchase. Most customers keep the card with the owner's manual in the glove box.
  2. Often times the 5 digit security code is recorded on a sticker affixed to one of the walls of the glove compartment or written-in on page 1 of the maintenance manual.
The radio serial number can be used to obtain your 5 digit security code. By giving us the radio serial number, we will contact American Honda Motors and will be able to provide you your 5 digit security code.
