The radio code should be in your documentation, assuming you have the docs...

You don't say what year model. Mine from '93 says that if I enter the code incorrectly a certain number of times, I must leave the radio turned on for about one hour before it will reset itself.

I understand that turning off all power to the radio (removing the fuse?) for a few minutes will reset it.

Hope this helps.

If one of the buttons is not working right (spilled Pepsi) you won't be able to enter the 5 digit code correctly. The code is 5 digits, 1's through 6's ONLY. You may have the wrong code. Stereo may have been changed. Look for a white sticker inside the fuse boxes or glove box. I write mine inside the fuse box and inside the manual.

The dealer who services the vehicle might have the CODE in their computer.

its a honda accord 2000. i entered the code correctly each time.. nothing, i even waited an hour like you guys said and it still didn't work. i pulled the fuse for 30 mins and it still didn't work... i think the dealership gave me the wrong code.. and they want 85 bux to fix it! the manager has yet to return my phone calls...

Sounds like you have done everything you were supposed to do. Tegger's website has some additional information, but I suspect you are already beyond that. There should be no charge or a minimal charge for looking up the code.

Good luck to you.
