How do you reset Honda radio codes?
What steps should I take to reset my Honda radio? I have a 2005 Honda Pilot, and my radio stopped working after I put in a new battery. Now, I need to get it back in working shape.

To help prevent radio theft,
Honda
implemented a radio-reset function that causes your radio to lock if it’s removed from a power source. While it has definitely helped reduce theft
, it’s also a common nuisance for Honda owners. Follow these steps to reset a Honda Pilot radio:- Turn your ignition to the ON position without starting your engine.
- Press the volume control knob to turn the radio on
- Wait for 10 seconds, then turn your radio off.
- Press and hold the power button until you see Enter PIN Code on your display.
- Enter your Honda radio code using the radio preset buttons. You can usually find your code in the owner’s manual, on a sticker in your glove box, or on the Honda website.
- Turn your ignition off, then on and test your radio.
Hopefully, these steps can help you fix your Honda radio. But if you’re still having trouble, bring your car to a mechanic or Honda dealer so they identify the bigger problem. And if you’re worried about the cost of professional repairs, offset the price by saving on car insurance with
