If you’ve replaced your 2001 Honda Accord’s battery recently, you might need to find and enter a radio code before being able to use the stereo and sound system. You should be able to find this code printed on a sticker in your glovebox, via online lookup, or by visiting your local Honda service center.
Though you may have never given it any thought before today, your 2001 Honda Accord’s sound system is protected by a simple security measure known as a radio code, which helps deter would-be thieves looking to steal your stereo. You will, however, need to know this code if you replace your Accord’s battery—but first, you’ll need to know where to find it.
That’s where licensed car insurance
comparison app and broker Jerry
comes in—we’ll walk you through a couple of ways to find your 2001 Honda Accord radio code and show you how to lower your Honda insurance costs
in the process! Why your 2001 Honda Accord needs a radio code
If this is your first time seeing your 2001 Honda Accord’s radio flash a “code” message, you might be a bit confused—after all, you never had to enter a code before, right? Why should this time be any different?
Simply put, your radio asks for a code as a security measure whenever the battery has died or been replaced in an attempt to deter would-be stereo thieves—a handy feature to have if you don’t have sound system insurance
. But if you don’t know the code or have it on hand, it can be a bit of an annoyance, as you won’t be able to use the radio or listen to music until the code is entered.
How to find your 2001 Honda Accord radio code
Fortunately, locating your Honda radio code isn’t very difficult. In fact, there are several methods for finding the code—and you might even be able to restart the radio without it!
Before you go searching for the code, try pressing and holding the radio’s power button for a few seconds. Under certain circumstances, that’s all you’ll need to do to reset the radio—no code necessary!
If the power button doesn’t work, however, you will be required to input the code to get your radio working again. The easiest way to find your radio code is to look in your owner’s manual or check the glove box for a small white sticker with the code printed on it—in most cases, it will be labeled as the “Anti-Theft Radio Code” and usually has the radio’s serial number printed alongside it.
Your 2001 Honda Accord’s radio code will only ever consist of five numbers—anything shorter or longer is the wrong code.
How to look up your 2001 Honda Accord radio code
In the event that you’ve misplaced your owner’s manual and there’s no sticker in the glove box, don’t worry—you’ll still be able to find your radio code, just with a few extra steps.
Before you can do so, however, you’ll need two other numbers: your radio’s serial number and your Honda vehicle identification number (VIN)
. Check below for tips on how to find them. Radio serial number: Your 2001 Honda Accord’s radio serial number is, unfortunately, located on the base of the radio itself, meaning the radio unit will have to be removed before you can read it—we recommend visiting your local Honda dealer for this service.
VIN: Your Accord’s VIN—a unique 17-digit alphanumeric sequence—can be found on your vehicle registration paperwork, your insurance card, and on a small plaque mounted at the base of your windshield on the driver’s side dash.
Once you have both numbers, you’ll be able to look up your radio code either by calling Honda at 1-800-999-1009 or via Honda’s OEM website
—aside from the serial number and VIN, you will need to have your phone number, email address, and zip code ready. How to upgrade your car insurance coverage
