Your 2002 Honda Accord radio code can be found on a sticker inside your glove box. If you can’t find it there, you’ll need to use your car’s VIN and the head unit’s serial number to find the code online.

Do you know what’s more annoying than a

dead car battery

? Replacing that battery only to find that your car’s stereo refuses to work until you punch in a code. Rick Astley might never give you up, but your car stereo sure did let you down by not letting you listen to that song that’s definitely stuck in your head now.

Have no fear!

Why your 2002 Honda Accord needs a radio code

Newer cars with modern infotainment centers aren’t seeing many car radio thefts these days, but older vehicles without these integrated screens are still targeted by criminals, making car stereos among the most commonly stolen components in cars.

Radio codes help curb these thefts. They’re a security feature that renders a car stereo useless without a code that corresponds precisely to your vehicle. When the radio is removed from the car, or the car battery gets disconnected or replaced, no one can use the radio in your vehicle or any other.

While this helps prevent break-ins and radio thefts, it's pretty annoying to drivers that have to deal with it. Thankfully, finding the radio code is pretty straightforward.

How to find your 2002 Honda Accord radio code

Before we start worrying about finding your 2002 Honda Accord's radio code, let's try the easier solution. First, press and hold your radio's power button for two or more seconds. This should reset your radio, and it'll work in most but not all instances.

If this didn’t work and your radio still demands a radio code, check inside your glove box for a white sticker that says Anti-Theft Radio Code. You might also find it in your car’s manual. This is a five-digit numerical code without letters.

How to look up a 2002 Honda Accord radio code

Let’s say a friend put a soda bottle in your glove box, and it exploded on a hot summer day, and the sticker was removed during the clean-up process. We’re not saying this happened back in 2009 to anyone who works here at Jerry … it’s just a hypothetical! What do you do then?

In this case, getting the radio code will take a couple more steps. You’ll need both your

Honda vehicle identification number (VIN)

and your car radio’s serial number.

You’ll find the VIN on the car’s dashboard, stamped so it can be seen from the outside looking in or in the door jamb. You can also find it on your insurance card.

To get the radio’s serial number, turn the car on and press preset buttons one and six simultaneously while turning on the radio. The series of numbers that appear is your radio's serial number. Write that down or snap a photo of it on your phone.

With the VIN and the radio’s serial number in hand, you can now find your 2002 Honda Accord’s radio code in one of three ways:
