Why your Honda Fit needs a radio code
Did you know that car radios are one of the most frequently stolen car components? It’s true, but in recent times, car radio theft hasn’t been quite as popular as it used to be.
This decline in car radio theft came thanks to radio codes, which were created to deter thieves from stealing your radio.
But how does a simple code deter car radio thieves? It’s actually pretty simple. If your car’s radio is disconnected from its power source, it requires the user to input a unique code. You can only use your car’s radio unit once your radio code is entered.
Car radio codes are a great theft-deterrent method, but they can be incredibly pesky if you’re trying to unlock your own radio after you’ve replaced your car’s battery, for example. It’s especially annoying if you’re not sure what a radio code is or where you should look for one.
How to find your Honda Fit radio code
Finding your Honda Fit’s radio code is usually an easy task. In a few cases, you may not even need your radio code to regain use of your radio!
Before you start searching for this code, try pressing and holding the radio’s power button for a few seconds. This quick trick occasionally allows you to bypass the radio code and regain use of your radio.
You’ll need to follow a couple more steps if this quick fix doesn’t work on your car. Have a look inside your glove compartment and keep your eyes peeled for a sticker on your owner’s manual or the glove box itself that says “Anti-Theft Radio Code.”
Once you find this sticker, it’s time to correctly identify the code. Typically, radio codes are five digits long and have no numbers.

How to look up a Honda Fit radio code
Can’t locate the sticker? No worries—you can use
your vehicle identification number (VIN)
and the radio serial number to look up your car’s radio code at the Honda Dealership or on Honda’s website. You’ll easily find your VIN on the driver’s side of your car behind the windshield. You can also look for it printed on your insurance card or in your registration documents too.
Discovering your radio’s serial number is a bit tougher. To figure out what it is, you must press and hold down all six preset buttons at the same time. At the same time, get a friend to insert your key in the ignition, switching it to the ON position. Once a few seconds have passed, your radio’s 10-digit serial number should flash on the radio screen.
Once you’ve written down these two important numbers, you can begin to search for your radio code. You have a couple of different options to pursue when looking for it:
