Why your 2013 Honda Odyssey needs a radio code

Digging around for a radio code may seem like another to-do on your already growing list, but it’s an important part of keeping your car safe. Honda has recognized that radios are one of the most common parts stolen from vehicles, so they added radio codes for safety. If your radio won’t turn on without a specific code, thieves are less likely to target your vehicle.  
Since your 2013 Honda Odyssey will need a radio code any time your battery dies or is otherwise disconnected, without a code, your radio is essentially worthless. And while additional safety features are always appreciated, having to actually find the radio code can feel like a challenge. 

How to find your 2013 Honda Odyssey radio code

The good news is finding your 2013 Honda Odyssey shouldn’t take longer than a few minutes. Even better, you may not have to search for it at all! 
Before taking the steps to find your radio code, you can try the easy fix of restarting your radio. To start, press and hold the power button on your radio for a few seconds. Once the radio resets, it should work without needing a code. 
Should resetting the radio not work, the next step is finding the radio code. Your search for your 2013 Honda Odyssey radio code should begin with your glove box and owner’s manual. You’re searching for a sticker that has a five-digit numerical code on it and is labeled “Anti-Theft Radio Code.” The radio code won’t be longer than five digits or have letters, so if it does, it’s not the right code.

How to look up a 2013 Honda Odyssey radio code

If you’re stressed because your owner’s manual is long gone or a sticker is nowhere to be found, don’t worry! There is still a way to find your radio code using your
Honda’s vehicle identification number (VIN)
and the radio serial number
To start, you’ll need your VIN. There are several places to find it, starting with your driver’s side door jamb sticker or stamped on the dash and visible from the windshield. Another option is your vehicle’s registration or insurance card. 
After locating your VIN, your Odyssey’s radio serial number is next. Since you have a 2013 Honda Odyssey, you’ll need to complete two actions simultaneously. Depending on how dexterous you are, you may need an assistant. 
To begin, press and hold one and six of the radio preset buttons. As you’re doing this, put the key in the ignition and turn it to the ON position. From there, you should see the radio serial number appear as a 10-digit alpha-numeric code
Finally, once you have your VIN and radio serial number, you can access your 2013 Honda Odyssey's radio code in several ways:
  • Use Honda’s
    lookup tool
  • Visit your local Honda dealership 
  • Call 1-800-999-1009 and speak with Honda’s customer service
