The radio display in your Civic Sedan is flashing “code,” and you can’t access normal Honda Civic radio functions — but this doesn’t mean your radio is broken. You just need to enter your Honda Civic radio code. Like other tech systems in your Honda cabin, the radio automatically resets after a dead battery or theft attempt. This works as an anti-theft measure because the radio would stop functioning once disconnected from the car battery. Join the Wolfchase Honda team for step-by-step instructions on how to enter the Honda Civic radio code to get your radio playing again ASAP!

What if you can’t find the sticker at all or the only number on it is 8 digits? The 8-digit number is most likely your radio’s serial number.

Have your VIN number, proof of ownership, and 8-digit radio serial number on hand before you:
With your radio code in hand, unlocking your Honda Civic radio functions is the easy part. While the exact process may vary slightly between models and model years, most Honda radios will work the same way. Simply use the radio preset buttons to key in the radio code digits. Just be sure not to rush and make an error — multiple attempts may trigger another lockout! But even if that’s your predicament, certified Honda technicians can get you out of it in just a few minutes.
