2000 Honda & Acura - Bona Fide Tech Tips
Ever left your car lights on in your 2000 and newer Honda or Acura and tried to reset your radio? Your in luck, bona fide tech tips has all the information.If you have a newer Honda or Acura, you're probably aware of the radio's built-in anti-theft system-especially if you've ever disconnected the battery. The system won't stop someone from yanking your stereo out of your car and walking off with it, but it will make it really hard for him to actually use it. It's a nice feature and is sometimes enough to give you just a little bit more peace of mind, that is until you leave your headlights on overnight. And your battery dies. And you forget your radio code. Unfortunately for those people, the radio will do little more at this point than fill a hole in the dash. But there is a way to bypass Honda's security system so that you once again can look like a fool dancing to your own tunes at the stoplight-even if you did misplace your code that Honda more than likely left with you in your owner's manual or on a little white sticker inside your glovebox. No, for the poor chump who lost his radio code, he'll need the radio's serial number to do this. You can locate it on the unit itself by removing the audio system from the dash-not the easiest thing to do on newer cars with integrated radio and GPS systems. Forget that, leave the radio in place and get your code electronically, the easy way. Here's how to do it on 2000 and newer models:
