Why your 2003 Honda Pilot needs a radio code

On, off, presets, and volume up—your radio is a pretty straightforward piece of equipment! Unfortunately, car radios are one of the most stolen vehicle components. Radio codes help deter thieves and make it harder to use a stolen radio.

Anytime your SUV’s battery is disconnected, you must enter this unique code to activate your radio.

If you don’t know where to look, it can be confusing to find this code. Luckily, Honda makes it easy to get your Honda pilot radio code in just a few short steps.

How to find your 2003 Honda Pilot radio code

The first thing you should try is pressing and holding down the radio’s power button for several seconds. In some Hondas, this is enough to reset the radio.

If you’re unsuccessful, your next step is to check the glove box and owner’s manual for a sticker that says “Anti-Theft Radio Code.” The 2003 Honda Pilot radio code is five digits. You may also see the radio’s serial number on the sticker.

How to look up a 2003 Honda Pilot radio code

No luck finding the sticker? Don’t worry, there’s still hope. You can unlock the Honda radio code by

VIN (vehicle identification number)

if you also have the radio serial number.

First, you can locate the VIN in a Honda Pilot by looking at the base of the windshield on the driver’s side. It is 17-characters long with numbers and letters. You can also find it on your insurance card and vehicle registration paperwork.

Next, you can locate the radio serial code with some tricksy handwork. First, press and hold down the 1 and 6 preset buttons simultaneously. Then, while holding them down, turn the key in the ignition to the ‘ON’ position. A 10-digit serial number will appear on the radio screen in a few seconds. Make sure to write it down!

With the VIN and the radio serial code, your Honda radio code retrieval is almost complete. Try one of these three options:
