Honda RadioSerial Number Retrieval & Code Entry Guide
How to display the radio serial number,retrieve the code online and enter it in a 3rd generation 2007-2011 Honda CR-V.

12V Car Battery Replaced | Honda Radio - 'ENTER CODE' |
Thisautomotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of thethird generation (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011) Honda CR-V ingetting the radio serial number without removing it from thedashboard, retrieving the security code online and entering it torestore radio and CD player functions. Owners of other Honda or Acura vehicleswith similar 6 compact disc changer radio units including thesecurity code theft deterrent feature such as the Pilot, Insight, CR-Z, Accord,Civic, Fit, Crosstour, Odyssey, Ridgeline, TSX, ILX, TLX, TL, RLX,RDX and MDX may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. If your Honda vehicle lost battery powerfor more than a few minutes due to a dead battery, jump starting aweak battery or replacing the battery, you might see 'ENTER CODE' onthe display the next time you turned on the radio. | |
Before going through the radio serial number andsecurity code retrieval process, check your glove box and owner's manual. Honda includes a small card or sticker whichlists both the radio serial number and anti-theft security code number. Onthis 2011 CR-V there was a white sticker attached to the left inner sidewall of the glove box with both the codes printed on it. Other vehicles might have a business card sizedpiece of paper inside the leather folder that contains the owner's manual. If you already have the security code, simplykey it in to the radio using the '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6' preset buttons. Be sureto carefully enter the code since you only have a limited number of attempts(or 'tries') to enter the code before being locked out. If you do get lockedout, just disconnect the negative battery terminal for about 15 to 20minutes to reset the radio. Owners of 2001 and newer Honda vehicles candisplay the radio serial number by following the steps below. (Unfortunately, owners of 2000 and olderHonda vehicles need to physically remove the radio from the dashboard byusing some automotive pry bar tools andlocate the serial number sticker on the back of the unit.) | |
Serial # & Code - Glove Box | Press Power - Turn Off Radio |
The first step isto turn off the radio by pressing the power button once. | |
Turn Off Ignition Switch | Turn Switch To 'On / Accessory' |
Turn the ignitionswitch all the way back to the 'Off' position. Then turn the ignition switch forward to the'Run' or 'Accessory' position but do not start the engine. | |
Press & Hold 1 & 6 | Turn On Radio- SN Displayed |
Press and hold boththe number 1 and number 6 radio preset buttons. https://treeip531.weebly.com/winows-10-cant-download-game-apps.html. While still holding down the 1 and 6 presetbuttons, tap the power button to turn on the radio. The 10 digit radio serial number will beshown on the display for about 5 to 10 seconds. I'd recommend either quicklytaking a picture with your phone or have someone write it down for you. To retrieve the radio unlock code online,you'll need the vehicle's VIN number, the phone number and zip code that yougave Honda when you originally purchased the vehicle (or the currentinformation they have on file for you), and the radio's serial number. Then visit theHonda RadioUnlock Code website (link opens in a new page) and enter yourinformation. If you prefer, you may also call the Honda ofAmerica customer service number at 1-800-999-1009 or visit your local Hondaor Acura dealership for assistance.
