Radio Theft Protection - Honda 2008 Ridgeline Owner's Manual

Radio Theft Protection

Your vehicle's audio system will
disable itself if it is disconnected
from electrical power for any reason.
To make it work again, you must
enter a specific code with the preset
bars. Because there are hundreds of
number combinations possible from
the five digits, making the system
work without knowing the exact
code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a radio
code card that lists your audio
system's code and serial numbers. It
is best to store this card in a safe
place at home. In addition, you
should write the audio system's
serial number in this owner's manual.
If you lose the card, you must obtain
the code number from your dealer.
To do this, you will need the audio
system's serial number.

If your vehicle's battery is
disconnected or goes dead, or the
radio fuse is removed, the audio
system will disable itself. If this
happens, you will see ''CODE'' in the
frequency display the next time you
turn on the system. Use the preset
bars to enter the code. The code is
located on the radio code card
included in your owner's manual kit.
When it is entered correctly, the
radio will start playing.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
sequence, then enter the correct
code. You have ten tries to enter the
correct code. If you are unsuccessful
in ten attempts, you must then leave
the system on for 1 hour before
trying again.
