For starters, I do not know much at all about working on my car. I have a 2004 TSX and my battery died on me a couple weeks ago. So naturally when it prompted for the anti-theft code I put it in however it kept reading it as incorrect. The code is 100% correct as I called into my dealership and they gave me the same code that I been trying to use.

I did some research on this forum and other places and it seemed to me as if it was the antenna that was causing the issue. So I took out the CD pocket and on the right side there was a black wire that was zip-tied to the side. I remember reading this somewhere so I was in belief this was the antenna and I disconnected it. Once I tried to put the code in again the code was still read as being incorrect

Did I disconnect the wrong wire? Am I supposed to do anything else? Or does anybody have any other suggestions?

I really do not want to bring it into the dealership again because they are going to charge me $150 off the bat just to diagnose what's wrong and then probably more charges for any other work that is does.

All help is appreciated, thank you in advanced.

Thanks for the help. Actually took it to the dealer today and they said somehow my code was wrong even if it was the same code I got from them.

 

Did you have RECALL work done on your HVAC/Radio? If so, that would of changed your code.
