Guys,

I have a friend that needs some real big help. She is a newly graduated kindergarten teacher and a very good person!, and doesn't have much money as of yet.

She has a 2000 honda civic that I helped her change the alternator out a few days ago and now her radio is locked and asking for a code.

I searched on the internet and found that there should be a sticker on the glove box with the radio SN but there isn't. I also checked the trunk too since someone said they found the SN there.

I do have her owners manual.
Her VIN is 1HGEM299412102601

We have called 3 Honda dealerships and all of them want to charge between 45 and 65 dollars for the code.

Can anyone help her?

Thanks in advance. I really appreciate your help!

I had the same problem......I found that when I turned the car on but not the engine then press the 1 and 6 keys on the radio at the same time it gave me 10 digit code for example L8745 U4564 ..........write this number down as it is the serial number for the radio. take the 10 code and call your dealership or the 1800 acura number for your local area and they should be able to give you the code..........the dealer would be charging you to remove the stereo to give you the serial number but the 1and 6 key is free..... once you have the serial number the unlock code should be free!!
