If you are looking for a quality used car then Honda is definitely a good choice

of brand due to its high resale value, as well as the reliability of a Honda. There are few things you should be aware before making a purchase, making you an educated buyer so you can ensure you are getting a quality product. In the last article we discussed about Honda's timing belt and water pump replacement schedule. If you missed that information please refer to the first part of this article series. In this article we will be discussing the issues of radio code for your Honda factory stereo. Since the mid 90s Honda starts to manufacture stereos that have anti-theft protection, it is a 5 digit security code will unlock the radio only the owners will have. This radio code is usually handed to you on delivery of your new vehicle; this card is printed on top of a plastic card for safe keeping. Honda radio will reset to "CODE" or lock mode when the power on your vehicle fails. This can include change of a battery, short of the electric system, or anything that will disable you is on board main battery.

After the power has been restored, you will be faced with the message "CODE" displayed on the radio screen. Use your factory radio code to unlock the radio. To enter the number simply press the number key that represents the preset radio stations number 1 through 6. Enter the radio code correctly following the proper sequence, after few error messages the radio will permanently lock itself only a Honda dealer can reset for you. In case you lost your factory radio code you can either call your original selling Honda dealer, the dealer computer system usually keeps track of your basic customer information. If your Honda is newer than 2003 you can try this trick. Press the radio preset "1" and "6" together, and holds it in for about 30 seconds. Following this action, your radio screen will display a series of numbers, take note of them and write it down.

This series of numbers is not your radio code, but a decodable message your local Honda dealers can decode for you. If you purchased your Honda used privately, you may not know who you're original Honda dealer is. In that case try to call few of your local Honda dealerships and offer them the VIN number, this maybe your best chance to recover the radio code without visiting the dealership.
