Yes it's another radio code post, but mine is different, or so i think.

I got the S/N from the radio with the button trick. Went to honda with the number and got a list of radio codes for the S/N.

Apparently there are a few different head units with that S/N with various codes. With trial and error i went down the list (approx. 10) and none of them worked.

Aside from pulling the head unit and getting the part # any other ideas ?

btw - the radio code card that came with the car didn't work either.

How many times did you attempt to enter a code (including mistakes where you had to start over again)? After 10 tries, you are locked out for 1 hour with the radio power ON. Making any further attempts will do nothing.

I have not heard of this "trick". The only one I know of is the read the S/N right off the radio.

I tried 10 times, pulled the radio fuse for a bit, then finished out the rest of the list.

The trick was hold down buttons 1 and 6 then turn the HU on. Then it displayed U4000-L1056.

Can you be sure that this allows you to continue. The owner's manual indicates that the radio must be "powered" for 1 hour.
You may have to take the radio out to confirm the S/N.

That's what the guy at the parts desk told me, but i dont trust too many parts gophers.

I guess it gotta pull it out, crap-o

The 00-01 cars can't retrieve the radio's SN via the preset buttons.

The # you need is the Reference #. It will allow you to cross reference with the serial # to determine the correct code. If the wrong code has been put in repeatedly, the radio will display ERR. Pull the Back-up fuse, and the radio will reset.

check for a little sticker on the inside of the glovebox door - sometimes dealers put it there - it contains the serial # and radio code and is a duplicate of the sticker found on your radio card.

If the radio was replaced under warranty the original radio code sticker won't match the replacement radio code.

Buy mine on e-Bay.

I wish there was a sticker somewhere that said it. The radio was probably replaced under warranty and the previous bastard didn't leave me the code that worked.

Sucks driving around listening to the wind noise...
