Why do I need a 2007 Honda CR-V radio code?

The first time you try your radio or aux cord after having battery maintenance done on your 2007 Honda CR-V may confuse you—why does it keep flashing the word “code,” and what is a radio code anyway?

Thankfully, the answer is pretty simple—your car’s radio resets and locks every time the battery dies or is replaced. While it may surprise you, radios are one of the most commonly stolen car parts. Since a thief couldn’t use your radio without a code, it’s an anti-theft safety feature.

Although this is a great way to protect your car, it’s definitely frustrating if you have no idea where to find your radio code.
