To find a 2011 Honda Odyssey radio code, look in the glove box or owner’s manual for an anti-theft radio code. If you can’t find one, you can use the VIN and the radio serial number to get access to the code—and get your radio working again.

Anytime your van’s battery gets disconnected, the radio will ask you for a code before it will start again. It’s an anti-theft device but it’s also annoying if you just want to listen to some music!

If you don’t know your Odyssey’s radio code—or maybe you’ve never heard of a radio code before—don’t worry.

How to find your 2011 Honda Odyssey radio code

You don’t have to memorize any complicated routines to locate your 2011 Honda Odyssey radio code. In fact, it might work to simply press and hold down the power button for several seconds. The radio may automatically reset and you’ll be good to go!

How to look up a 2011 Honda Odyssey radio code

No sticker? No owner’s manual? No stress! We’ve got another solution for you.

You can look up your radio code using your

Honda's vehicle identification number (VIN)

and radio serial number.

To find the 17-digit VIN, check at the base of the windshield on the driver’s side. It should also be printed on your registration and your insurance card.

To find your radio serial code on newer Honda models, you can try pressing buttons 1 and 6 on your radio. Then, turn the key to the ‘ON’ position in the ignition. An assistant might be helpful! Once your van is turned on, a 10-digit serial number will appear on the screen. Write this down!

In older Honda models, you have to remove the radio to find the serial code on the back of the system. Luckily, this doesn’t apply to people who need a 2011 Honda Odyssey radio code!

Once you’ve got both the VIN and the radio serial code, you can finally look up the actual number you’re looking for: the 2011 Honda Odyssey radio code. There are a few ways to do it:
