Radio Won't Accept Code

[92AccordEXR]

Hey everyone,
I got a stock factory tape deck and I recieved a code from the Honda Dealership. I tried entering the code multiple times and it didn't go through. Finally went back and the guy said he gave me the wrong code and looked up the code again and finally gave me the correct code. So I tried the new code and it didn't work. Went to another dealership to comfirm the code for the tape deck and they said it was correct. This code isn't going through at all. Wtf is going on?

Throw it away, Buy a nice HU

Don't you have to put it in twice? If no one responds after the weekend, I can check my files as I have a spare EX HU with the card and booklet showing the steps, if the code is in fact correct.

I punched it in 3 times and it didn't work.

Let me know

i thought i heard that if the wrong code is put in or tampered with its useless? Im probably wrong but thats what i heard?

Maybe do this. Take the car to the dealer. Grab one of the service guys --- not a tech but one of those dorks that takes your keys and starts the paperwork.

Tell the dork, "Hey I got this code from [insert name of the dork]". Show me how to enter the code, please. You dork."

If the code doesn't work...it's not the right code, period. Take it to the dealer and make them put it in, when they enter it and it doesn't work, they'll get you the right code. If you enter the code 5 times incorrectly, you must reset the radio by unplugging it or the battery.

Go to the dealer as mentioned...and dont forget to bring your insurance and crap that shows the car is yours.

They do that shit every now and then. I had the same exact problem not too long ago. I took it to Honda and had one of the dorks do it. I got it done for free.

this is true,
aight back to the retarded honda dealership.

did you get your problem fixed yet?

if the incorrect code is entered 3 times then it goes into anti-theft mode (like anyone is gonna steal a stock radio lol). you would then have to wait for an hour until it resets itself or unhook the positive battery cable.

Try reseting it. Like take out the battery or something. Or... the whole HU (pain in the @$$) but you should only have to do it once. Good luck!

too much hassle, I just bought an aftermarket HU.
