Why your Honda Insight needs a radio code

Before the days of deeply integrated touchscreen infotainment centers, car radio thefts were rampant. Even today, car radios are one of the most frequently stolen car components targeted by thieves, especially older head units that are significantly easier to remove in a hurry.

To help combat these thefts, some automakers started adding radio codes to their head units. Radio codes are a security feature that disables a car radio if the car battery stops feeding it power or if the radio is removed from the car. So to use that head unit again, you need its specific radio code.

While this helps curb car break-ins and radio thefts, it can also be a little annoying for car owners. If your battery dies or a mechanic fixes your car but forgets to use a battery saver, you’re stuck with no music during your daily commute. But don’t fret, it’s super easy to fix!

How to find your Honda Insight radio code

Most of you reading this don’t even need to find your Honda Insight radio code. Instead, simply turn on your car and then press and hold your radio’s power button for two or more seconds. This will reset your radio, and in most cases, that’ll get you up and running again.

If that doesn’t work, don’t worry! You’ll need your Honda Insight radio code. Look for a sticker posted inside your glove box that says “anti-theft radio code” and use the five-digit code. You might also find this in your car’s owner manual. Keep in mind that this code is numerical, there won’t be any letters or symbols.

How to look up a Honda Insight radio code

Perhaps you can’t find your Honda Insight radio code. Maybe the sticker has been damaged, or the lettering is faded. It’s all good—you can still get your radio code from Honda directly. You’ll just need to gather a little information first.

First, you’ll need to grab your

vehicle identification number (VIN)

. You’ll find this stamped on the car’s dashboard on the driver’s side and can see it from the outside of the vehicle. You can also find it on a sticker inside a door jamb, your insurance card, or a car loan statement.

Next, you’ll need your car radio’s serial number. To get this, turn the car on and the radio off. Now just press and hold preset buttons one and six on your radio simultaneously, then turn the radio on. The 10-digit code your screen is showing is your radio’s serial number.

If you’re driving an older Honda Insight from 2001 or earlier, you’ll need to remove the head unit from the car to find the serial number. Consider visiting a Honda dealership and having them help if this is the case.

From here, you can get your Honda Insight radio code in any of the following ways:
