Default Anti-theft radio code is a scam by Honda! Way around?

They come from the factory on a small adhesive tag or label. Mine is
about 2 inches long and 3/4" high. It was stuck on the inside of the truck
lid. Sometimes they are affixed to the drivers door jam, or the inside of
the glove box. Look for a white tag, with a 5 digit number having no number
larger than 6.(the radio only has digits up to 6) Mine has another number
underneath the 5 digit one, something like "M97A289316". The dealer that
sets up the car normally sticks this tag on it somewhere. That said, my
dealer only wanted $35.00 to pull the radio and check, but we found the tag
first. I've been told that you can get it from Honda with the VIN number,
but as I said I never got that far.

Good Luck,

Al G
