How To Reset Your Honda Radio When You Get Code Message

The website changed over time and weirdly brought to a page with a security warning.
Because of this, I have received warnings from YouTube and I don't want to put my channel at risk.
Go on Google and look for ''honda nav code''
The first website should be a ''my garage Honda'' something.
From there you will be able to do the same process.
Some people mention that they now charge for this.
You may also give a call to your local honda dealer, if they are nice, they should help you with that.

I accept donations :)
Many thanks in advance!
It helps me a lot to make other videos.

You probably get this problem if you change your battery or empty it.
This is the procedure to repair the problem.
This may be not work if your car was sold out of USA.

I was so damn irritated when I changed my starter and find that my radio quit… like WHY HONDA?!? But thank god for this CLEAR SPEAKING human being that can actually make a helpful, clear video… 5 mins later and my radio and CD player is back.. thank god that website is still up and running also..

[blueharley]

clear and concise information. Thank you, that fixed my radio after I changed my battery. Now I have a label in my glovebox with the code.

Thanks! I left the lights of my car ON while I was at work. My battery died and a coworker helped me. Then I noticed that my radio was not working. I bought this car from somebody else and I don't remember having any code. I have 3 years with my CRV and this is my first time requesting a CODE. Thank's for share this video!

This was extremely helpful.
My car's battery was dead yesterday and I had to reset my stereo. I had to do the same with my previous car, a Pontiac, but it was really easy to do. The Honda Accord gave me a hard time. 😕
Thanks so much for sharing such a detailed video. 👍🏽

You are a Rock Star!! This was by far the best information delivered in a straightforward manner. Thank you for the help!!
I have done this many times in the past but had lost the code over the years. Kept finding information that I KNEW was more involved than in needed to be.

Always go back to this video and has worked 3 times on a 2011 Honda Accord in under 2-3 min. Thank you sir.

[Brandon_Neil]

Thanks a million. Other videos are several minutes and confusing, yours was perfect!

[sarafrancis]

This worked in seconds. After a year of staying with no radio. Thank you!

[zodlydude]

This worked perfectly! My child home from college for the break says THANK YOU!!! Good to know for the other Hondas we have too.

[palois]

Excellent . Spent almost a month without music. Problem solved in a matter of minutes. Thanks alot! I'm all smiles now.

[charliejohnson]

Thank you! I was getting very frustrated by conflicting information I was finding until I listened to this. The Honda website address had been changed but finding that was easy once I knew the CORRECT process. Thanks again for posting!

[carolmalpass]

Saved me a trip to the dealer. Thank you for the clear instruction.

[skylark]

Hey, this is Jeff, from the future, thanks for the info! Clear and concise!

[kevinhoch]

Worked perfect and didn't have to pay anything! Thank you so much!

[alexischacchia]

THANK YOU! more people should thank you for this! Worked like a charm in less than 5 minutes after getting my mom's car battery replaced for her.

[sandramartins]

Thank you, thank u so much! My cousin messed up my radio, months passed he couldn't fix. Now it is back on 😍😍🙏
Best of all, I did it myself

[scottfields]

Thanks, this helped a lot. My daughters car was in for service at the local Firestone and when I moved her car, code appeared on the screen. I stumbled on to this video and it worked great. 2009 Honda Accord and the radio is back on. Thanks

There's also a much simpler way to do it. It works for most Honda radios.
1. Turn on your car.
2. Press and hold the "Tune select" button for at least 5 seconds.
That's it, no need to enter the code. Radio would be back to normal.
I did it on my 2014 Honda Pilot and it works fine.

Background info:
When the "Tune select" button was pressed and held for about 5 seconds or longer, the radio sent a token/signal (we called it a handshake in techie world) to a receiving chip that checks if the radio was in the same vehicle or not. If the radio was in the same vehicle (not stolen and not installed in a different vehicle), the chip allowed the radio to function normally. The token was pre-programmed at the factory to the receiving chip with the code generated by the radio. Of course, if the radio was on a different vehicle it wouldn't work because the chip on the other vehicle had a different token programmed to the chip. It would get a mismatch, therefore it wouldn't allow the radio to continue operating normally.

Thank you SO MUCH!!! I was so bummed out that my radio was locked. I wish I would’ve found this video three days ago.
