Sometimes during maintenance and repairs your Honda car battery may have to be disconnected resulting in your radio displaying “code”. The reason for this is your Honda radio come standard with an anti-theft protection built into the radio itself. Any time your radio is disconnected from the DC power source inside your car it requires an identification code to be reactivated. This deters thieves from wanting to steal the radio from your car as without this code the radio is useless.
If your vehicle’s battery is disconnected for any reason including changing your battery out or during a routine maintenance or inspection you’ll need to enter your security code into the radio in order for it to function. This is a very easy process and requires only a few minutes. Locating your personal security code for your radio should be easy. Inside your information packet that you received when purchasing your vehicle that includes the owner’s manual and any other paperwork from Honda you should have an antitheft ID card for the radio. Printed on this will be your unique security code that can be entered on the number keypad on the front panel of your radio. Once this code is entered properly your radio will function properly. This also includes all radio and navigation system combinations. If you have lost this card you can always contact Vista Honda your Ventura Honda dealership for assistance. With proof of ownership and the vehicles Vin number (vehicle identification number) we can research your vehicles unique antitheft code.
