Our daughter's car died temporarily (battery) and now we can't unlock the radio. Been searching all over the net but can't seem to find right site. Found a couple of UK sites, but figure we need a US site. Please any help or advice much appreciated!

Turn on radio, hit one and 6 at the same time, this will give you 8 digit serial number of stereo. Call Honda dealer and give them number they should be able to give you code within minutes. Call around some for free some not.

Honda radios are made by several manufacturers so the radio will have to be extracted from the dashboard and the MAKE , MODEL and ALL the SERIAL NUMBERS will have to be quoted.

However, I think that the Serial Number you have quoted looks as though it will be a make that can NOT be calculated using the Serial Number so the radio will have to be taken in to the Honda dealer or a Radio Decode Specialist to be read + coded...... It won`t be free though.

You could ask one of the professionals on Ebay for their advice.
