Your vehicle’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 f ive-digit code
in the Preset buttons. Because there
are hundreds of number
combinations possible f rom the f ive-
digits, making the system work
without knowing the exact code is
nearly impossible.

and serial number. It is best to store
this card in a saf e place at home. In
addition, you should write the audio
system’s serial number in this
Owner’s Manual.

the code number f rom a Honda
dealer. To do this, you will need thesystem’s serial number.

code. The code is located on the
radio code card included in your
Owner’s Manual kit. When it is
entered correctly, the radio will start
playing.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
f ive-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for 1
