How to Unlock the Radio in a Honda

Hey everyone — 4DIYers here! In this quick, hands-on guide I show how to get the radio serial number and enter the radio code for a 2nd generation Honda Pilot (2011). If your battery was disconnected or went dead and your radio asks for a code, this video walks you through the exact steps I used on this vehicle — and the method often works on other Honda models too. #HondaPilot #CarDIY #radiocode What you’ll learn • How to reveal the radio serial number using the radio controls. • Who to call and what info the dealer needs to give you the free radio code. • How to enter the code and what to do if you get an error message. Quick steps Turn the key to the ON position (radio enabled). Turn the radio off. Press and hold 1 and 6 simultaneously and turn the radio on — the serial number will display. Call your Honda dealer with the serial number — they’ll provide the radio code (this is typically free). Enter the code when prompted on the radio. If you enter it incorrectly the radio will show an error — follow on-screen directions. Notes If you have the original owner’s manual it may list the code — check there first. Dealers usually provide radio codes for free if you have the serial number. If multiple incorrect attempts are made the radio may lock — follow the manufacturer’s instructions or consult the dealer.
