If you own a Honda Civic, chances are, you might have experienced the inconvenience of needing to enter a radio code after the battery dies or is disconnected. It can be frustrating, especially when you don’t have the code information readily available. In this article, we will guide you on how to retrieve and enter the Honda Civic radio code.
Finding the Honda Civic Radio Code
To retrieve your Honda Civic radio code, you need to have your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and the device’s serial number handy. The Honda Civic’s radio serial number can be found on the backside of the device or the glove box. To access the glove box serial number, you will have to remove the glove box, and it should be on a sticker on the backside.
Once you have the serial number, go to Honda’s online radio code retrieval website. Enter the serial number and VIN, and the website should generate your radio code.
If your radio serial number is not available, a Honda dealer can also retrieve the code for you by using their database.
Entering the Honda Civic Radio Code
Now that you have retrieved your Honda Civic radio code, it’s time to enter it into the device.
Turn on the radio and enter the five digits code using the numbered preset buttons. Once you have entered the code, press the “enter” button or the “AM/FM” button to submit the code. If entered correctly, your radio should activate immediately.
If you incorrectly enter the code three times, your radio will display an error code, and you will need to wait an hour before attempting to enter the code again.
In Conclusion
Acquiring and entering the Honda Civic radio code is a simple process. Always have your vehicle’s VIN and radio serial number on standby in case of disconnection or battery replacement. Additionally, it’s always a good idea to keep the code information somewhere safe, like in your car’s owner’s manual, to avoid unnecessary inconvenience.
