it's very annoying.. i cannot find the code for my 6th gen accord's oem cd player & radio it's not in the owner's manual.. any ideas ? and is every code different for every honda model or a general code would work ?
it's been over a month and i don't understand how it got to this... it began when i went to canadian tire to replace the battery
sorry for freaking out but it's beginning to get to me ... with no stereo in the car
Do you understand the purpose of an antitheft code? (It always has to be re-entered when the battery is disconnected long enough.)
If you've lost the card with the code, I hope that a dealer can replace it, from your VIN.
Good luck.
Address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.
thank you.
Get the SN from the radio (mine was a label stuck inside the glove box). Go to a Honda dealer and they can generate the code. Most dealers WILL NOT do this over the phone. I would hope they wouldn't anyway. If they know you and you are a regular customer maybe they will do it over the phone.

Based on my experience, your gonna wish you had gone to Honda for that battery anyways. I put a CT battery in my civic after my alternator went last year, and I am quite disappointed in it. It leaks, and does not have the same juice as the Honda OEM battery it replaced.
I saved about $10 canadian. Yay.

The card with the code is about the size of a credit card. Same thing happened with my 2000 Acord when we replaced the battery with a Sears DiHard. If you have lost your card with the code your dealer should be able to generate the code for you.
I was told that it may be found under the hood, or on the trunk lid somewhere......I can't couch for the accuracy of this though....

I have a 98 CRV and the code for the radio is on a label mounted in the glove compartment. Not sure if the Accords the same but its worth a try. I found out where the code was by calling a dealer.
good luck,

it's wherever we feel like putting it, iput them in the glove box but some use the trunk orother places, what year is it? if it's 2002 or later you can get the serial number from the display. when the display says CODE power off the radio, then hold the 1 and 6 buttons, and power up. you'll get a number like U**** then it will flash L**** the first 4 are the first 4 of the serial, and the last the last 4, just drop the U and L. once you get those 8 numbers call the dealer.
