Hi:

First Post (I did search so be kind, please :))

I am thinking about installing the IPOD adapter in my 2009 Sedan V6 EXL with nav. (too many Nuvi's get stolen here :naughty:). I have been reading up on the procedure(s) and I see that one of them says to be sure that you have your Radio anti-theft code handy before you start work.

Well, I just picked up my car yesterday and I admit that I haven't yet read all 6000 ( or so ) pages of literature that came with the car, but, where should I look for this code? Is it in the pile of stuff that I get from the dealer? Is there some "backdoor" key squence to get it up on the screen?

I don't want to have to schedule a service appointment to have some guy spend 10 secs punching in a number.

OBTW this is my second Honda Accord (I had a 1976 Accord many years ago 3- door hatchback) And this one is even better than that little guy! The V-6 has a lot of stones! the hands free is really cool to use in traffic dialing up and down the heat talking on phone etc. It does seem a little wierd that they don't offer a standard I-Pod interface (yes the dealer pitched $350.00 installed unit... I can do it in 2 hours from what I see on this forum)

Thanks in advance, and IMHO this forum is going to save me a lot of hassles!


The members have a lot of good Ideas, I have been lurking and I hope to contribute in future.

2009 Accord V6 EXL w Nav Polished Metal Metallic with Grey Leather.... sweeet! :D

They should have gave you a card with the code on it. If you didn't get one, lost it, etc... then just go to https://radio-navicode.honda.com/ to retrieve it.

I asked the service tech at Honda when I got my oil changed and he was able to look it up by VIN and provide the code.

Look in the glove box. Theer should be a sticker with the code....

Just picked up mine on Friday. Card in pocket on flap of letherette owners manual binder has radio code card in it...check there.

Thanks Guys! All very good sugesstions and I did find my code. It was on a "card" in a small plastic bag that had some how slipped down between the console and the passenger seat. I was looking to see where I might route some wiring for another project when I found the card.

Jeeeesch! Newbie nerves! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!:D

And, Really, thanks a lot!
