Have you ever faced the situation when your car radio gets locked after a no-start situation or when your battery goes dead?
It can be frustrating, right? In this post, we are going to share some tips and tricks on how to unlock your car radio when it displays that dreaded radio code.
Join Tyler and Justin, one of the lead techs at Fisher Honda in Boulder, as they help you understand the process of unlocking your car radio and getting it back to work.
Justin starts off by pointing out that the radio code can be found in a few different places. Firstly, it can be located inside a card which resembles a credit card, indicating the anti-theft system, the radio code, and the radio serial number. Alternatively, you can also find it inside the packets labeled as “Honda Service History” where the audio code will be mentioned.
However, in case you cannot find the code in these places, Justin demonstrates how to retrieve it from the radio itself. He explains that by shutting off the radio, holding the preset buttons one and six, and then turning it on, you can obtain the serial number which can then be used to retrieve the radio code.
Once the serial number is obtained, you can call your local Honda dealer or Fisher Honda and provide them with the code. They will then help you retrieve the radio code and guide you with entering it into your radio.
Justin further explains that entering the radio code is as simple as using the preset numbers and once it’s done, your radio will be good to go.
It’s evident that having the components as mentioned in the owner’s manual and the packet can make the process easy. However, local Honda dealers or Fisher Honda are always ready to assist you in case you encounter any issues with unlocking your car radio.
In their next segment, Tyler and Justin plan to discuss the importance of engine oil changes, showing their commitment to helping car owners with essential car maintenance tips.
