Why your 2001 Honda Civic needs a radio code

The radio may not seem like the most important part of your car, but it is one of the most frequently stolen parts. This is why there are radio codes: they act as a security measure that helps to stop theft.
If you just changed or disconnected the battery in your 2001 Honda Civic, it will ask you for a radio code. You won't be able to use your car's sound system until you enter the code, which serves as a strong deterrent to thieves.
They can be difficult to remember when you need them, but fortunately, locating the radio code for your Honda Civic is rather simple—just follow the steps below!

How to find your 2001 Honda Civic radio code

To begin, simply press and hold the power button for a few seconds—this should do the trick in most cases!
If that doesn't work, you'll have to dig a little deeper. The code is normally found in one of two places in a Honda Civic: on a sticker inside the glove box or in the owner's manual.
Keep an eye out for labeling such as "Anti-Theft Radio Code" or anything like that, and don't mix your radio's serial number with its code—in this case, you're searching for a 5-digit code. Anything longer is probably for something else.

How to look up a 2001 Honda Civic radio code

If you don't have your owner's handbook or the sticker inside your glove compartment, you'll have to manually search for the radio code.
You can get your radio code by entering
Honda vehicle identification number (VIN)
and serial number.
Your vehicle's 17-digit VIN number should be located on the registration, insurance card, Honda Financial Services Statement, or at the bottom of the driver's side windshield.
Your radio serial number can be found on your radio unit's body. To get to it, you must first remove the radio from the dash. If you're unclear about how to remove the radio properly, consult your owner's manual or take your vehicle to a professional. Improperly removing the radio might cause harm to the unit and the dash.
Once you have both digits, you can seek up the number you want, which is the radio code for your 2001 Honda Civic. There are several options:
  • Use Honda's
    online lookup tool
  • Call their help hotline, 1-800-999-1009
  • Take your vehicle to the Honda dealer nearest you
