I went to a thrift shop and got myself an old honda radio. I noticed after I got it, that it was an anti-theft model. I took it to a honda dealer, but they turned me away, saying that I didn't have sufficient proof of ownership, because I 'could have peeled off the price stickers and from something else i bought at that shop for $7.99'.

Is there any way else that I can get hold of the code? The model # is 39100-SV1-A0000, Ref # is CQ-LH14102, and the serial number is 789410.

I don't know why they seem 'sure' that I've stolen it, i mean come on it's a cassette deck! I would greatly appriciate any help anyone could provide.

go back to the pawn shop and make them sign a paper that says you bought an old honda radio there. Even give a number to call for proof.

There's one way.

Probably the only way unless you want to take it apart yourself.

just call the honda dealership and tell them you are a dealer at a used car lot and then they will give you the code i know this cause my friend is a dealer and he had to do that for a friend

I'll try getting a note from the shop, but what would taking the unit apart get me?

taking the unit apart would get you nothing

Go back to the dealership and tell them you bought a stolen honda radio from a pawn shop is what you should tell them.
