Audio Systems: CAR audio, honda accord 1996, aftermarket radio


Question
HEY
I recently changed my car's (HONDA ACCORD 1996)battery, but after that my tape player (car stereo)showed the message "CODE" and it is not working. I guess i have to type some kind of code in but i dont know what, i checked the manual everything but there is nothing. HOPE YOU CAN HELP! (even the radio doesnt work)

Answer


You will need the unlock code :(
If the radio is a factory unit, you might find the code in the owners manual (otherwise, try the dealer).
If it was an aftermarket radio, you will need the manufacturers unlock code.

These days, you can new find radios with tape (or CD + CD-RW/MP3 capability) for well under $90.00. Therefore, you might just want to replace the one you have if you cannot locate the code.

Good luck and thanks for the question.

Sincerely,
