The radio code in your Canadian Honda vehicle helps to prevent unauthorized use of the radio. Unfortunately, when you lose the radio code, you have only two options: you can buy a new radio, or you can try to recover your old code (or have the code reset) by the dealership you purchased the vehicle from. However, because the code function is meant to be a theft deterrent, you'll need to know the proper way to get a radio code for your Canadian model Honda.
Gather your VIN number and write it down. Your VIN number is the unique identification number for your Canadian model Honda vehicle. The VIN number is located on the dash of your vehicle near the base of the windshield.
Collect the serial number for the radio in your Honda vehicle. The serial number may be located on the inside of the glovebox on the left side of the box. However, if your sticker is worn, faded, or missing, you may need to get the serial number from the bottom of the radio. You can remove it yourself to do this, or take it to a mechanic or someone who is mechanically inclined remove the radio for you.
Go to a Canadian dealership and give them all of your information. With this, you can request a new radio code or the retrieval of your old radio code. Alternatively, you can use the automated website provided by Honda to retrieve your code. Find a link in Resources.
