i would check in the owners manual, or if that doesnt work, check with the service department,...i would think that there is a master code...

Well they have a code for each radio so that when disconnected it won't work again without a code because of theft issues. Look in your manual it tells you how to get your code. I forget but I read it once.

I looked it up. Okay it says that when you buy the car you should get a card with a five digit code. If you lose it contact your honda dealer and provide info such as the car serial number. That is what my accord manual says.

Hit the local dealer up, it should be a freebie.

Yea, they should hook you up no problem. But when they give you the code, DONT put it in your glove box. That is the biggest mistake everybody makes with anitheft systems.

i disconnected the battery on my moms 00 accord lx and it said code too. so i called the dealer and they said bring proof of ownership and theres usually a number in the glove box u give them and that tells them what radio u have, and they will give u a 5 digit code.

my g/f has a car about as big as a credit card that had her code on it and it was stuck in a small envolope and then inside the back of the owners manuel.

This code thing is stupid. I'll call the dealer tomorrow and let you know if it works.
