You can find your 2008 Honda Fit’s radio code by looking in your glove compartment. Try to find a sticker with five digits on it—it might be in your owner’s manual as well. If you can’t find it, you also can use your VIN and stereo serial number to look it up.

Have you recently replaced your Honda’s battery? Or has it been disconnected at the repair shop? If your Honda is asking for a radio code before you can turn on your radio and listen to some music, you might be getting really frustrated.

Why your 2008 Honda Fit needs a radio code

It seems a little much for a radio to have a code, doesn’t it? You just want to listen to some rock music, so why is this happening? While it might seem excessive, car radios are actually one of the most frequently stolen vehicle components.

A radio code deters theft because it won’t work without a five-digit number.

Typically, this is caused by your car’s battery being disconnected or replaced. While it’s great that there’s a safety measure, it can be a pain if you don’t know where to find your radio code.

How to find your 2008 Honda Fit radio code

Thankfully, finding your 2008 Honda Fit’s radio code is a breeze. You may not even need the code—a simple fix is holding down the radio power button for two seconds to reset your radio.

If it continues to ask for a code, look in your glove box and owner’s manual for a five-digit code labeled “Anti-Theft Radio Code.” Keep in mind that your radio code is five digits—anything longer or shorter won’t work.

How to look up a 2008 Honda Fit radio code

If you can’t find the code, you can also use your

vehicle identification number (VIN)

and the radio serial number to locate it.

For your VIN, look to your insurance or registration documents or even on the door next to the driver’s seat or dashboard.

You might need a little help finding your serial number. It can be found by pressing and holding down the radio buttons 1 and 6 at the same time. Keep holding them and use your car key and insert it into your ignition. Turn it to the ON position—this will only turn on its electrical components. Wait a couple of seconds, and a 10-digit serial number should flash on your radio dashboard.

Once you have your VIN and your serial number, you can find your 2008 Honda Fit’s radio code by:
