Why your 2011 Honda Fit needs a radio code
It may be hard to believe, but the radio is actually one of the most frequently stolen items out of vehicles. As a way to combat these robberies, the radio code was added to act as a deterrent to prevent thieves from taking them—a radio that can’t be turned on holds very little value, after all.
Although the radio code was designed for the driver’s protection, it can ultimately be a hassle if you're locked out of your radio following something such as a car battery replacement.
How to find your 2011 Honda Fit radio code
Finding your radio is relatively simple once you know where you should be looking. Most of the time, though, all you’ll need to do is press and hold the radio’s power button for two seconds, allowing the radio to reset without a code.
If this reboot does not work, you’ll need to dig a little deeper. Take a look inside your glove box for an “Anti-Theft Radio Code Number” sticker. This sticker will likely have the radio serial number on it as well, but the five-digit number is the radio code. If for some reason you can’t find the sticker, don’t worry—the radio code should also be listed in your owner’s manual.

But what if you can’t find the glove box sticker or your owner’s manual? In this case, you would need to use your
Honda's vehicle identification number (VIN)
and radio serial number to retrieve the radio code. Both of these numbers are long, so be sure to have a pen handy.Your 17-digit VIN can usually be found at the base of the driver’s side of the windshield, on your insurance card, and on your vehicle registration.
To find the radio’s serial number, you will have to press and hold the radio’s one and six preset buttons and turn your key to the “on” position. This will turn on the electrical components of the car, and not the engine itself. When done correctly, a 10-digit serial number will appear on the radio display.
Once you have both these numbers written down, you will finally be able to obtain the most important number of them all: the 2011 Honda Fit radio code. Here are a few ways to access it:
- Use Honda’scode retrieval tool
- Call 1-800-999-1009
- Bring your Fit to a Honda dealer or service center
