Accord EX Coupe V6-3.0L (2001)
Radio Tuner: Description and Operation
Radio Theft Protection
On EX and EX-V6 models Your vehicle's audio system will disable itself if it is disconnected from electrical power for any reason. To make it work
again, you must enter a specific five-digit code using the preset bars or the TUNE knob. Because there are hundreds of number combinations possible
from the five-digit, making the system work without knowing the exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card that lists your audio system code number and serial number. It is best to store this card in a safe place at home. In
addition, you should write the audio system's serial number in this Owner's Manual. If you should happen to lose the card, you must obtain the code
number from your Honda dealer. To do this, you will need the system's serial number.
If your vehicle's battery is disconnected or goes dead, the audio system will disable itself. If this happens, you will see "CODE" in the frequency display
the next time you turn on the system. Use the preset buttons to enter the five-digit code. The code is located on the radio code card included in your
Owner's Manual kit. When it is entered correctly, the radio will start playing.
If you make a mistake entering the code, do not start over; complete the five-digit sequence, then enter the correct code. You have ten tries to enter the
correct code. If you are unsuccessful in ten attempts, you must then leave the system on for one hour before trying again.
You will have to store your favorite stations in the preset buttons after the system begins working. Your original settings were lost when power was
disconnected.
