Honda Accord EX 94 or 96 Code Situation?
I have a Honda Accord EX its before the 2000 i think its a 94 or 96 but i can't figure that out. But that isn't my main question its that my factory radio will not allow me to play music from the radio or from my cassette. All it says is "CODE" Someone said i need a code for it but i do not know i only know the VIN(1HGCD5665TAO70796) Can anyone help me please.
Assuming you don't have the Anti-Theft Code and Serial Number that is found on the credit card sized Anti-Theft Radio Identification Card that comes with the vehicle at the time of purchase and is usually found in the glove compartment…
You have FREE options to retrieve that code by phone or on the internet BUT, the RADIO SERIAL NUMBER is REQUIRED (no matter what). (see below about removing the ERROR E3)
***IF your Honda was made BEFORE 2001 the serial number MAY not be accessible without removing the radio from the vehicle.***
* TO GET THE SERIAL NUMBER (so that you can get the unlock code)
1. Get something to write with and on (you'll need it to write down the serial number)
2. Put the ignition key in and turn it until your able to turn your radio on (accessories position).
3. Then turn your radio OFF by it's knob/button (but leave the igition key in place).
4. Hold down the preset buttons 1 and 6 at the same time.
5. Turn the radio on while pressing down both the 1 and 6 buttons.(***IF your Honda doesn't have preset buttons on the radio then hold down the top part of the 'Seek/Skip' button AND the top part of the 'Change Disk' button instead.*** )
6. Write down the 4 numbers you see first and then 4 more that display. These eight numbers are the SERIAL NUMBER. This is NOT your CODE.
7. Make sure your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is handy to get the unlock code. (can be found on your insurance card, driver's side door jam, small plate on dashboard by registration and inspection stickers, etc)
* TO GET THE UNLOCK CODE (using the radio Serial Number and VIN)
---Internet option:
1. Go to: https://radio-navicode.honda.com/...honda.com/ (YES, it's run BY HONDA and IT'S FREE)
2. Follow on screen instructions (Serial Number and VIN required)
3. Type in the 5 digit code into your radio. This will unlock the radio and return it to a functional state.
-OR-
---Telephone option:
1. Call American Honda Customer Relations (800) 999-1009
2. When the automated message starts 'Press 3' for 'Radio and Navigation Codes'.
3. Tell the Customer Service Agent you need your radio code. (They will ask for your name, your radio's serial number, VIN, etc)
4. When they give you your radio unlock code--WRITE IT DOWN and KEEP IT SAFE!
5. Type in the 5 digit code into your radio. This will unlock the radio and return it to a functional state.
* REMOVING ERROR E3
****If you entered too many wrong codes and got an ERROR E3 message displaying you'll need to do an additional step for even the correct unlock code to work.****
Disconnect your negative battery terminal (or pull the radio fuse out if that's easier for you) for 30 seconds then reconnect it and then the radio will say "CODE" again and you can put in your correct unlock code.
- I need some advice on a horse trailer situation? My dad has just bought a Honda CR-V. It can tow up to 2 tonnes. We're looking to buy a horse trailer but we're not sure about whether to get a single or double trailer. Could our car tow a double trailer with 2 15hh horses in it? Or if needs be, we would get a single one as we only have 1 horse anyway, but a double one would be more suitable but we don't mind.
- What would be the cost of car insurance in my situation? I'm 18 turning 19 in a few months, I recently got my G2 and I'm considering on buying a 05 honda civic.
- Should I keep or sell my car in this situation? So I bought a used car about six months ago for $2500 and have been using it. However I just found out that I got a job and will be living in Japan for year. I live in Wisconsin now, but I will come back to Wisconsin in a year. I'm wondering if I should sell my car or store it somewhere. However I don't know anyone to store it for me and would have to pay someplace to store it if I wanted. It is a 2002 Honda Civic.
- Should I fix up this car or re-sell it in this situation? So I bought a used 15 year old Honda Civic with 130,000 miles on it. I paid $1700 for it. However I found out from the mechanic it will cost another 2500 to fix up all the brakes and lights to make it drivable and good. However the ac and radio still won't work. Or should I sell it for 600 dollars to the mechanic and lose $1100 dollars. I know I made an error. But what should I do?
