i went to put in my stock radio and it says "code" on the screen.... where do i find the code to make my stock radio work again??

The OEM radio has a security code. If you remove the radio or disconnect the battery then the radio is dead until you input the security code.

If you purchased the car new, the sales person should have given you the code (comes on a card the size of a credit card), there is also a metal tag with the code on it. Call the dealer if you didn't get it.

If you purchased it used, then call the person you got it from.

Also look in the secret compartment.

you can also call a dealer... they can use your VIN number to pull the code...

Usually the dealer need the Serial number off the back of the radio.

true... i do know of at least a few people who were able to get the radio code via a VIN number however...

i seem to recall reading a thread here where someone outlined a way to get the head unit to echo it's serial number. this would save the time of pulling the head unit out and reading the number off the back.

I think if you go back to the dealer that sold the car initially, you would have a shot at getting the radio code. They probably keep it on file, however, I am pretty sure there is no master list from Honda.
