Radio code 2002 Accord EX/SE
I am new to your site, but does anyone know how to reset a unknown radio
code? I bought the car used and it is from a mid-west state (I am in Washington state) anyhow, wife left an inside light on and ran the battery down. I have no idea what the radio code was (no info. in the car) and short of removing the radio, for the S/N, I would like to reset a code. I don't want to pay a dealer to do this if I can help it ! Thanks in advance for any help. Bruce in Seattle |

There is no magic reset. If there was, it wouldn't be much of an anti-theft device, would it? |

Thanks Curly, It looks like all I need to do is take the car to the
dealer and let them look up the Vin # to see what the original factory code was and punch that in. Thanks again, Bruce |

Good luck. The dealership where I bought my 99 accord did not have any
record of my radio's code when I needed it. If you have the serial number of the radio then they should definitely be able to get the code for you. Look in/on the glovebox and ashtray for a label that often indicates the factory radio serial number, then have the dealer run it for the code.

Thanks so much for the info. I did not need to use the info because I
took the car to a dealer. A very nice young man in the service area said, "let me see if I can find it for you". Sure enough, he came back in from the car, went to the computer and just like that up came the number. He then went to the car, "did his magic" and the radio came to life! (No charge, even theo there is a sign that said they charge $65 if you don't have your code at time of service) He said, "Have a nice day" and we went on our way. Thanks for the help. I'm sure I could have used the site you sent had this not worked. Thanks to all, Bruce |

Did you get the code and put it in a safe place for next time?
