Radio Question

[SOMD_GSR_STi]

Ok so im a noob here (coming over from subaru) but its my first teg. The one I bought the radio doesn't work, but the fuse isnt blown. Ive heard things saying that I go to honda dealership or ask someone about some programming code that I push with the 1-6 numbers and it programs it and re activates the radio. I don't know I could be dreaming but I know some cars have had that before but my STi never did lol. Any help appreciated and if anyone can share the code if there is one, that would be great.

You have to get the serial number off the back, it's different for each unit

yeah unfortionally our cars are ONE of the few older cars that NEED that code
my sisters Intrigue also has the same BS on the radio
my 00 jimmy doesnt have it nor did my old 96 accord

So pretty much I need to take the whole radio out and get that code, then put it in? My friend was saying her Si, they all have the same universal code to put in and what not. Since I have to take it out, any write ups on how to take it out without destroying the car? lol

My wife's 94 ls is having the same issue, just take it to the dealer.

Call the dealer they'll give you it for a small fee. Seriously may just be easier to replace it with a nice aftermarket headunit though. The stock ones suck in my opinion. Welcome, I'm up in the Hunt Valley/Northern 83 corridor!

It's free for the code

Oh that's awesome, I thought they charged for it. I have my headunit/code but have upgraded it lol.

Nice, I was just on 83 last night. Where im buying my GSR from. Its up in Lebanon.

Well my friend is a tech at a Honda dealership (even though Acura is Honda) I should be able to get it through him right?

 

[hgocasca]

Maybe

Just throwing this out there in case it may be the same for you but sometimes the 5-digit code label is affixed to some other location inside the car. On my first Integra, the code was on the side of the ashtray (placed there by the Acura dealership). On my second Integra, it was on the side of the glove box. Check yours, it may be there.
