At the bottom left hand corner of my main radio display (non-nav), there is a 4 character code. I can't quite remember what it is right now...70DE or something like that (just a guess). Does everyone have this code? are they all the same? and what do they mean?

 

I know the code you are talking about. I just assumed it was a Honda part code or reference number to the radio.

Good trivia question!!

 

well... i'm guessing here, but the radio has a lock if it loses power and then you need to enter in the code... but if the code is right there to see... then that's probably not the code. unless you are suppose to remove the sticker (if it's a sticker?).

 

Its DEFINITELY not the code for the radio. This code we are talking about couldn't be typed into the radio.

 

Its not a sticker. Its printed right onto the glass. And its definately not the code to unlock the radio.

When I get out to my car again I will make note of the exatc code and post it here and we'll see if all our codes are the same

 

Make sure to look at the Easter Egg thread for a post I just made.

 

...yeah, but what's the use of a re-activitation code if its printed on the radio? The thief grabs the unit and is ready to install.

My guess is that its just a part code. The nav system has one as well. (some similar 707D type of number)

Ya..that seems ridiculous doesnt it. And according to moda_way the real re-activation code is in the golve box! Does anyone else find this totally....stupid??

(I agree the code is probably a part number, just curious though ... maybe we will see some variation in numbers between older and newer build dates).

 

yes, the TSX loaner i had yesterday had the anti-theft radiio activation code card in the glovebox. actually i left my card in my glove too....

oh well, who's gonna jack that huge 6cd changer system? be a pain to fit into a diff car

 

I haven't seen the code in question, but I'll take a SWAG anyway and say it's a software/firmware version number.

 

No No, i dont hink you understand. I think he said it was actually permanently printed somewhere inside the glove box! Its not something you can remove.

 

Check the post again. moda_way said he removed his. Sounds like a sticker or something. I haven't looked for it yet.

 

You're right, thanks. I've gotta look for it later.

 

hmm, thats not too smart...i'm gonna go looking for it now

 

Checked my car last night. Yup, there it is - a 4 character code in the lower left hand corner of my non-navi display window. Not actually in the display window, it's actually in the black surround area. White characters, and no, it's not a sticker.

 

I think that it's just a model # for the radio unit.

 

Ithink it's the part #. Maybe we should all post the # to see if there is anything to break?

 

Checked all areas of my glovebox today and couldn't find the radio code. Any specific area?

Yes, that number is there, but it doesn't match up with the security codes that the dealer gave me.

Guys (and girls),

I'm REALLY REALLY surprised that you couldn't figure this one out (with the exception of Alin). It's just a *model number* for the radio/nav unit.

And I thought *I* was an overanalytical person - talk about reading into things!

For those that had their radio code in their glovebox - I didn't have that at all, but I *did* have a sticker on the plastic card that has my radio and nav code - so I think that sticker was supposed to be peeled off and put on your card during the PDI.

 

Well, that was the jist of my first post in this thread.

You should have both one with your card and one on the car. I had both stickers and removed the one from the car. It should be there for the service guys.

Also, I think a few of us here mentioned it was a part/model number early on in the thread.

 

If you enter the code using morse code with your horn, it sounds like yankee-doodle.

 

Great thread revival.

 

 

I keep getting an ID10T error...What does that mean?

 

Your device failed due to use by an idiot.

 

You figured that out all by your widdle self??? Im so proud!

 

It's okay that you're an idiot joe. we still love you. :gheyhug:
