Luckily I was able to find my access code for the radio...what I wasn't able to find (without finally calling the dealership) was the phone number for roadside assistance!!!<BR/><BR/>It's a good thing to be forewarned about this "code" business for those who haven't encountered this--just in case. Important to know that in some, maybe all, cases you have a limited amount of chances to enter the code correctly...Before clueing in and bothering to look for the code card, I had entered random numbers. Silly me. Almost locked myself out of my own radio entirely!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752424.post-83486877322524687372007-07-19T08:47:00.000-04:002007-07-19T08:47:00.000-04:00I looked for a white sticker with a 5 digit code, ...I looked for a white sticker with a 5 digit code, found it in my glove compartment.<BR/>Others have found theirs in trunks, bottom of the ashtray, in the fusebox under the hood. Glad I didn't have to do that. <BR/>Apparently you can get the serial number of your radio by pressing the 1 and 6 buttons and then turning on your radio. First four digits come up, then the next 4. You can call your dealer or Honda's customer service line and they can give it to the code based on that and your VIN.

I got to know the code very well. But now they replaced the radio and guess what? They didn't give me that little card this time. Lovely!<BR/>So how did you go about finding the code?Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13329087078358950801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752424.post-67738089291644303612007-07-18T08:19:00.000-04:002007-07-18T08:19:00.000-04:00Argh. Gotta hate those code things on the new car...Argh. Gotta hate those code things on the new cars. Why can't they just make things simple like they used to? Thanks for the tip thought as my sister has the same van, so I will pass along the info just in case her battery ever dies and she finds herself in the same situation.<BR/><BR/>Yay for the Timmy's drive thru though :)BeachMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17936777379292996065noreply@blogger.com
