Honda radio code episode!

My Honda accord's battery died and it locked up my radio system in the car.The anti-theft thingy associated with this radio system gets locked up and needs a special code to make it work again.Little did I know that it was so sophisticated system.Since I had bought the car as a second hand car, I didnt have the original secret code/key and couldn't find it stuck anywhere in the glove compartment or the trunk.

After googling for this, I found out a way to get this done.

1. Turn off the audio unit.
2. Press and hold the 1 and 6 preset buttons, then turn on the audio unit. The display toggles between two screens. The first screen displays a U and the first four digits of the serial number (for example, U2100). The second screen displays an L and the last four digits of the serial number (for example, L8683). Ignore the U and L, and write down all eight digits.
3. Call Honda Dealer for Radio Code.
4. Use the preset buttons with numbers to enter the 5 digits of the anti-theft code into the audio unit. The system would spring back alive!

Awesome procedure!i am glad it worked without having to spend some 100$ through the dealer to take care of this.
