How to Find your Honda Radio Code

A Honda head unit asks for its code after any loss of power — a flat battery, a jump start or an alternator change is enough.

The serial is on the label on the casing, so the unit has to come forward out of the dash; most are held by screws behind the trim panels rather than by release keys.

On the label look for the 14-character string starting HO. Ignore the Honda part number — that names the model, not your unit.

We have no code from a Honda owner confirming the rule yet, so this one is free: a share unlocks it, and your answer about whether it worked is what moves Honda into the confirmed column.

In the US or Canada? Honda units sold there carry a different serial from the HO label above, and Honda gives their codes free on its own site from your VIN and the radio serial: radio-navicode.honda.com. Many cars also have the code on a card or sticker in the glovebox.

How to Enter your Honda Radio Code

  1. The display shows ENTER CODE (or CODE). Press the preset with the number of each digit, once — the code has five digits, each 1–6.
  2. There is no confirm button: the radio starts after the fifth digit. If you make a mistake, finish all five digits and start again.
  3. After ten wrong tries, leave the radio on for an hour.
