No VIN required - just the radio serial number!
Experiencing CODE ERROR E? This error appears when incorrect codes are entered 10 times, causing the radio to lock.
Important
The CODE ERROR E appears when the correct code is not entered in the first 10 attempts. Honda radios are programmed to accept only 10 input attempts before locking you out.
How to Reset ERROR E:
- Disconnect the battery from your vehicle for about 10-15 minutes
- Reconnect the battery
- The display will return to "CODE"
- You now have 10 new attempts to enter the correct code
Alternative: Leave the radio OFF for 1 hour to auto-reset
If you're unsure of your code, use our service to retrieve it using just the serial number. Get the correct code on your first try!

How to Get Honda Radio Code?
If your radio code is lost, you have a few options.
Dealer Option (Time-Consuming, VIN Required, With Paperwork)
The slower way to retrieve it is by contacting a dealer, car manufacturer, or authorized service center.
They typically require your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), proof of ownership and vehicle documents, and sometimes even a registration certificate.
The process is often delayed.
Some charge a fee (which can be expensive), while others offer it for free - but it can take hours or days.
Response times and fees depend on the brand and location.
Useful for verification, but not the most time-efficient route.

How to Find the Serial Number (S/N) on Your Honda
By Extracting the Radio Unit (Commonly Used Method)
The majority of factory radios, the serial number is printed on a label attached to the side of the unit.
To access it, you'll need to remove the head unit using basic tools.
- You'll find a label with numbers and barcodes
- The serial is usually 8-14 characters long
- Avoid confusing it with the part number - only serial can be used for code generation
This method applies to most older and mid-generation models.
Serial Number on Screen (U#### L####)
How to Display Serial (Buttons 1+6)
On the Display (No Removal Needed)
Some digital radios allow you to access the S/N via a button combination.
- Try holding buttons 2 & 6 while turning on the radio
- It's usually shown before the "CODE" prompt appears
- The combination of buttons for every radio is unique.
This works on some units from the 2000s onward.
The Difference Between the Serial Number and Part Number
The Serial Number (S/N):
- This is the unique identifier assigned to your specific radio.
- It's required to generate the unlock code.
- Usually found on a label marked "S/N" or "Serial".
The Part Number:
- This refers to the internal hardware specification of the unit.
- It's used by manufacturers for repairs, but irrelevant for unlocking your stereo.
- Often longer and more generic.
How to Enter the Radio Code
Once you have the code, entering it is usually simple.
Most radios display "CODE" or "ENTER CODE" on the screen when locked.
Use the radio preset buttons or numbered keys to enter the code.
Some models unlock after entering the last number - such as pressing "OK," "Enter," or "5" to confirm or holding "Seek", "Tune" or the preset key.
Be careful not to enter the wrong code multiple times.
Certain units will enter SAFE or WAIT mode after too many errors.
If your radio is locked, we can help reset it. Our guides cover the steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Security Code and Why It's Needed?
A radio, an anti-theft or a security code is a short numeric password used to unlock your factory car stereo.

Exception: 2013-2014 Honda Odyssey and Pilot models do NOT require a radio code. All other Honda and Acura models do require the anti-theft code after power loss. Your 4-digit or 5-digit code is permanently linked to your radio's unique serial number.
Where to Find Your Code (If You Already Have It)?
Start by checking the owner's manual. The code is sometimes found on a label or written directly on a section.
You can also check the glovebox or trunk, where dealers or previous owners may have placed a sticker with the code. Some also search for it behind trim pieces or inside the fuse box.
If you have the original radio code card, that's the simplest place to find the code - it usually includes both the serial number and unlock key.
