does the radio ask for a security code? or is it dead? did you check the fuses?

 

I can still see the clock but when i push the fm/am or CD button; it wouldnt go on. As for the fuse, I have no idea how to do that so Im scared to mess the car up. Do you have any clue what I should do bro?

 

you need to get the security code from the dealership.. i dont know how much they charge for that tho.... but i know for a fact that is whats wrong with it cuz hppened to me when i first got my first civic

 

just another reason to go aftermarket radio

 

You need to get your serial code off the cd player adn your VIN and go to the dealer. To get the serial you need to take out the cd player and it will be on the side. The dealer will charge you $68 to remove the radio and get the serial if you dont. Otherwise if you have both numbers they should look it up for free.

 

thanks alot guys.. I found out how o do it now..I had to disconnect my battery and put in the code. Thanks for all the help guys..
