Actually, my Radio Code is 4 digits, and that works. The NAV is also 4 digits because that's all it will take, but they are the same number on my card.

Time to call the dealer.

It's a real pisser that the battery won't last a month without being charged.

If you were going to let your car sit there for a month all you had to do was start your car for 5-10 mins once a week or even every 2 weeks and the battery probably wouldn't have died.

Not using battery for a long period + extremely cold weather = :down:

In a garage, so I don't really want to idle it. BTW, it's a heated garage, so that shouldn't have been an issue.

I will in the future have a battery tender hooked up.

All this aside, the code thing is wierd! I just called the dealer and they wanted to pull the radio, I don't think so. They are trying to find another option. You know Honda has to have the darn code somewhere.

So here we go.

Dealer finally opens up. I talk to someone in service. I tell them the scenerio. They tell me the Radio and NAV code are different. I tell them I have the card in hand and they are the same. They tell me they have to have the car, and yank the NAV unit out to get the SN. I ask them if there is another way to get the SN. "No, we need the car for a day". I ask if I get them the SN, can they get me the code. "Sure"

I used the three button sequence to get into the NAV programming screen. (Map/Guide, Menu and Cancel) The SN is in there. I give them the SN, they give me the code.

Wouldn't you think the dealer would know this? Hey, I was talking to the service guy, guess he's not a mechanic.

Anyway, problem solved. and I updated my dang card!

It's really messed up they gave you the wrong codes though...you should've tried to get a free oil change or something for the hassle.

What makes you think I'd trust them to change my oil?

You got me there...maybe just a free key chain then. By the looks of your list of family vehicles, you might have more than a few of those.
