Wow. That story was awesome Shimee.

Anyway, the radio code is on a sticker that the dealer put somewhere in the car. A lot of the time it is inside the glove box. If you can't find it anywhere, drive to your local Honda dealer and they will be able to get if from your VIN, assuming it is the original radio.

Wrong. The stickers in the glovebox and on the coin holder is the radio's SERIAL#. You have to call the Honda dealership's parts dept., and give them the serial# to get the code. If they want to charge you, or refuse to give it to you, PM me the serial# & I will get you the code.

If you cannot locate the serial# sticker in the glovebox or on the coin holder you will have to remove the radio to get the serial#.

I was able to register my car at honda owners link. The passcode is instantly displayed:

LacedInSugar · 05-13-2010, 02:44 PM

The honda owner link is nice but it also requires the serial number and sadly it is not posted anywhere on my car... =/ That and the honda dealer said that same thing about having to make an oppointment to have them take the head unit out and check the serial number on the back... aka waste of money and my time.

Kronn 98SH · 05-13-2010, 02:47 PM

Ummm....here's a thought. Take the head unit out yourself. Get the serial #. Get the security code.

LacedInSugar · 05-13-2010, 02:50 PM

umm heres a thought, use my blackberry pandora to listen to music if its that important and just buy a whole new stereo system this weekend. i had plans to do it anyways but i had a few other mods i was targeting first. Just figured i could find a quick fix to the issue so i could pro long it a little. =/ i'd just hate to take the stock one out just to put it back in lol.

I do however need to get at you about those headers. I think that is defiantly something i am interested in.

Kronn 98SH · 05-13-2010, 02:52 PM

I can kinda understand that, although the whole process only takes about 10 minutes. I do have a nice stereo for sale. It might meet your desires.

LacedInSugar · 05-13-2010, 02:53 PM

Intake headers stereo and lowering are my first mod targets. after that i'll tinker a few other things. gonna keep this whole engine, already have a rebuilt GST eclipse.

Kronn 98SH · 05-13-2010, 03:02 PM

I also have a nice header for sale.

LacedInSugar · 05-13-2010, 03:04 PM

ya the Tri-Y right? i talked to right fast about those before but honestly i dont know much about a group buy. But i know there just headers but i like the look of them as well. I am kinda picky. 300bucks right?
