Hello!
I have recently changed my Honda 1999 CRV battery. The radio needs a code and I don't have this code. I called the dealer to ask for this code and they tell me that they need to take out the radio to look for it and it will be $70.00! UNBELIEVEBLE!
Does anybody knows were I can find this info other than waist that amount of money?
Somebody please, HELP!
Thanks!

The dealer should be able to look up the code from the car's VIN, unless the radio was changed at some point, and then it will have to be looked up off the serial number of the radio. You should have received a "code card" with the code on it when you bought the car -- about the size of a credit card with a five digit code on it. If you know how, you can pull out the radio yourself and the dealer should be able to give you the code for free.

This is an easy DIY. The code you need to input is designed as an anti-theft system. If someone steals your radio it is worthless without a code. You will have to pull out the radio to get the serial number off it and call the number on the radio. They will then have to verify that you own the vehicle and it is not stolen. The other solution is to take the serial number to a Honda dealer and they should be able to look it up for you. If they charge you for looking it up then that is a rip off.
I have a 2003 CRV so these instruction may not work. Under the radio are a couple of vents on either side of the flasher buttons. Beneath the ledge under those vents you will find two screws. Undo those screws and this will allow out to take the moulding off that holds the radio in place. This will also expose a couple of screws that hold the radio in its carriage. Remove those screws and pull out the radio slightly. You should find an information sticker that has the serial number and a 1-800 number to call. Hope this helps.
