Why your 2009 Honda Fit needs a radio code

If you’re seeing your Honda Fit’s radio displaying the “code” message for the first time, you’re probably a little confused. What code is it asking for? Why does it need a code at all?

The code is a security measure to prevent theft. It is required whenever the radio has been disconnected from its power source—ideally deterring would-be thieves from removing the stereo system.

However, this also means the code is often required when the battery dies or is removed. If you don’t know your radio code, this may feel more like a hassle than a help. Fortunately, finding your radio code is usually pretty simple.

How to find your 2009 Honda Fit radio code

There are a few ways to access your 2009 Honda Fit radio code, but before you start digging through your glove compartment, reset your radio.

To reset your radio, simply press and hold the power button for a few seconds. Sometimes this is enough to get your radio working again—no code necessary.

If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to search for your radio code. The code is usually listed as the “Anti-Theft Radio Code” and should be a five-digit numerical code. Begin by looking for a sticker in your glove compartment or owner's manual.

How to look up a 2009 Honda Fit radio code

If the sticker is nowhere to be found or it's in rough shape, you can also search for your radio code

online

or by contacting Honda.

To access your code through Honda, you will need your

vehicle identification number

(VIN) and your radio serial number. Your VIN can be found in your ownership documents, insurance paperwork, on your dash at the base of your windshield, or on the driver’s side door jamb.

To get your radio serial number, here’s what you can do:

Turn your ignition to the ON position

Turn off the radio

Hold down buttons 1 and 6 simultaneously

Turn on the radio while holding down buttons 1 and 6, and keep holding for a few seconds

You should see a 10-digit code displayed on the screen–that is your radio serial number

Once you have your VIN and serial number, you can search for your radio code on Honda’s

online search tool

or by calling Honda at 1-800-999-1009.

If all this fails, you can take your Honda Fit to your local dealership to help you sort out your radio issues. They should be able to access all the information needed to retrieve your radio code, but this might require removing your stereo to access the serial number.
