Radio Code??

I have an Accord V6, 1999. Recently had the alternator replaced. Thus, with
no battery power the radio needs to be reset with a code. I am the second
owner of the car and do not know the code. I have checked the glovebox
handbook and called the local dealer with no success in finding the code.
The dealer said they can reset the radio but will have to remove the radio
to get to the back.
Anyone know what I should do to get the radio code or alternative way to
reset the radio?
I like having the radio on, it keeps me from singing to myself, help, even
my dog hates my singing!
I can be contacted at
Thanks in advance for any help.

Call the dealership where you bought it. My Accord is a '94 and they still
had it on record last time I needed it (about a year and a half ago). They
should be able to just give you the code over the phone, once you've
answered some "security" type questions, of course. Good luck.

The code you seek is FIVE numbers long, on a white sticker or plastic
'credit' card. The previous owner may have written the # in the manual
or fuse box. There are two or three fuseboxes on your Accord. Previous
servicing dealer has the number in their computer, usually.

Otherwise, remove the radio (yourself) and any dealer will give you the
code if you provide serial number, manufacturer, and proof of ownership.
You weren't able to sweet-talk the service department to look up the
code? Just walk into PARTS, and buy something, then tell the parts guy
your tale of woe. . . They'll help you. They want you to keep bringing
that Accord to them for service.

Would that be the free answer, or the $20 answer? ;-)

Doesn't mention the radio code, but it is a set of instructions for
replacing the factory radio with something else, so I guess one wouldn't
care about the code. I'd be inclined to put it on the shelf with the
radio.

I just traded in a car where I had added an aftermarket radio. I didn't
think about putting the stock unit back in until I was clearing out the
glove compartment and saw the owners manual for the new radio. I was
already at the dealer, picking up the new car.

Yes, how would be great.

The installation link does not work in eiter Netscape or IE. Do you
have another way to view it?
