Your car’s audio system will disable
itself if it is disconnected f rom
electrical power f or any reason. To
make it work again, the user must
enter a specif ic code using the preset

there are hundreds of number
combinations possible, making the
system work without knowing the
exact code is nearly impossible.

number and serial number. It is best
tostorethiscardinasafeplaceat

the audio system’s serial number in
this Owner’s Manual. If you should
happen to lose the card, you must
obtain the code number f rom your
Honda dealer. To do this, you will
need the system’s serial number. When all the digits in the code are
entered correctly, the radio will start
playing.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over or try to
correct your mistake. Complete the
sequence, then enter the correct
code. You have ten tries to enter the
correct code. If you are unsuccessf ul
in ten attempts, you must then leave
the system on f or one hour bef ore
trying again.
If your car is equipped with a
navigation system, press and release
the TUNE knob; the number ‘‘0’’
appears on the display.
You will have to store your favorite
stations on each side of the preset

or goes dead, or the radio f use is
removed, the audio system will
disable itself . If this happens, you
