Trying to get your 2010 Honda CR-V radio code? Start by checking for your Honda-issued card if you still have it. If you can’t find that, you can look it up using your CR-V’s VIN and radio serial number.
Few car owners walk around knowing their vehicle’s radio code by heart—and with all the other numbers you need to keep track of as an adult, that’s pretty understandable. If this is the first time your CR-V’s battery has died or been replaced on your watch, you might not have even known what a radio code is until now.
If you don’t know your 2010 Honda CR-V’s radio code, you don’t have to succumb to your cabin’s silence. Jerry
, the expert app that helps you save on car insurance
, is here with everything you need to know about Honda radio code retrieval. And before we go, we'll even fill you in on how to save on Honda CR-V car insurance costs
(or insurance for any other vehicle)! Why your 2010 Honda CR-V needs a radio code
Why does it matter what your 2010 Honda CR-V radio code is? If you become a victim of car theft, your radio code will matter a lot—car radios are one of the most stolen objects from vehicles.
When your Honda
detects that the radio has been disconnected from its power source, it will require you to enter your five-digit radio code to be able to use your car’s sound system and other features like navigation again. This vehicle anti-theft device
can be pretty inconvenient for you if your 2010 Honda CR-V’s battery died or was recently replaced. Your radio will lock, and you won't be able to unlock it if you don’t know what the code is. Before you go hunting for that radio code, though, try pressing and holding the radio’s power button first to reset it. That might be all you need to do in some cases!
When you’re prompted for that radio code, here’s how you can find out what it is.
How to find your 2010 Honda CR-V radio code
Luckily, once you know where to look, getting the radio code for a 2010 Honda CR-V is pretty easy.
If you bought your 2010 Honda CR-V new, you probably received a card from the Honda dealership that listed both your radio code and the radio serial number.
Or, it’s possible that you might have a sticker on your owner’s manual or somewhere in your glove compartment that lists your 2010 Honda CR-V radio code. If you can’t find that, look for the radio’s serial number—it will come in handy for the next steps you can take.
How to look up a 2010 Honda CR-V radio code
So, what if you don’t find any of that? Can you look up a Honda’s radio code somehow?
The answer is yes! Here are the two numbers you’ll need to round up to figure out your 2010 Honda CR-V code:
Your Honda vehicle identification number (VIN)
: You should be able to find this at the base of your CR-V’s windshield on the driver’s side, on your vehicle registration documents, or on your car insurance card. The radio’s serial number: If you can’t find it on your Honda-issued card or in your owner’s manual, there’s a way you can get the radio to display it. On the radio, press and hold buttons 1 and 6 at the same time. This should display your 10-digit radio serial number.
Once you have these two numbers, you can unlock your radio code! Here’s how:
Enter the VIN number, radio serial number, and other necessary information
Check your email for your confirmation and the radio code
