How do I get a radio code for a Honda Civic?

I had my battery replaced because it was only pulling nine volts. But now when I turn on the radio, it asks for a code for it to start. How do I get a radio code for my 2017 Honda Civic Sport?

Some models of the
Honda Civic Sport
will automatically reset the radio, and thus the code, when you replace the battery. There are two ways to get a radio code for a Honda Civic:
  • Have your VIN (vehicle identification number) ready and call Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
  • Bring your Civic Sport to the Honda dealership.
However, you should be able to resolve the situation on a 2017 model by holding the radio power button for 10 seconds. By holding the radio button, you likely won’t have to get the radio code.
While replacing your battery is an important part of routine maintenance, consider adding roadside assistance or
towing and labor coverage
to your current car insurance policy. To get this coverage, either call your current insurance company, or if they don’t offer it, search and compare quotes with the downloadable

app.
