Hi
where can I get the code to unlock the factory stereo? After replacing the battery the head unit is asking for a security code which I don't have. 2000 Civic ex
Thanks

 

contact the person or dealer you bought the car from

 

I bought the car from car sense they don't have the code. At the local Honda dealer the rep laughed me off with " you should've bought the car here"

 

I heard how to re-set it, but I forgot how, just letting you know there is a way

 

The owners manual should show something like that. I dont know why Honda did that. Who the hell would steal a stock cd player from a honda? THe dealer SHOULD be able to reset the factory ecu for you.

 

The manual says to contact the dealer, both of the local dealerships were ******** to work with. Right now I'm applying the cost of looking up the codes towards a new head unit. This is partially my fault when I bought the car I should've made them give me the codes.

 

Try a new dealer.

If you can pull the stereo yourself, do it and get the seriel number off of it. Then go to the dealer and tell them you need the code for your stereo, you already have the seriel #. They will prob want proof of ownership of the car.
