Write down the 8 numbers that display on the screen
This is your radio’s serial number.
Go to https://radiocodevault.com/honda/ and enter your serial number
They will also probably require your VIN# which you can find very easily on your car by checking alongside the door when you open it.
From what I’ve heard they send out codes 2-3 times per day directly to your email
Just enter the working unlock code into the radio using the same preset buttons (the numbered buttons) and you should be all set and having your radio working again!
It seems complicated, but its not. Just follow the steps and you’ll be fine.
P.S if your Honda is before the year 2000, just go to that unlocking service site and enter your VIN# and leave the serial number blank. The older models usually have extra steps you have to do in order to obtain the serial number. Usually you have to remove the radio first, and the serial number you’ll need is on the back label that says HONDA.
Cheers!
Hopefully this saves some people hours of research and hassle :P
