How to Find Your 2002 Honda CRV Radio Code

If your 2002 Honda CRV radio displays “Enter Code,” you’ll need the unique anti-theft radio code to unlock it. This situation usually arises after a battery disconnection. This guide provides a step-by-step process to retrieve your 2002 Crv Radio Code and get your music playing again.

Locating Your Honda CRV Radio Serial Number

Your radio code is linked to your CRV’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the radio’s serial number. First, find your VIN on the driver’s side door jamb, windshield base, or vehicle registration. It’s a 17-character sequence.

Next, you’ll need the radio’s serial number. There are two ways to find it:

1. Retrieving Serial Number from the Radio Display

1. Turn on the car and the radio. The display should show “Enter Code.”
2. Turn the radio off.
3. Simultaneously press preset buttons 1 and 6, then press the power button.

The serial number (e.g., S/N 12345678) will appear on the display.

2. Finding the Serial Number on the Radio Sticker

If the first method fails, the serial number is also on a sticker on the radio unit’s side. You’ll need to carefully remove the radio from the dash using tools like a flathead screwdriver. The 8-digit serial number is on this label.

It’s a good idea to photograph the serial number for future reference.

Generating Your 2002 Honda CRV Radio Code

With your VIN and radio serial number, you can generate your radio code:

1. Visit a reputable online radio code service for Honda vehicles.
2. Input your VIN, the 8-digit serial number, and the car model (2002 Honda CRV).
3. The service will generate your 5-digit radio code.

Entering the Radio Code in Your 2002 CRV

1. Turn on the car and the radio. “Enter Code” should be displayed.

2. Use the preset buttons (1-6) to enter the 5-digit code. Each button corresponds to a digit. For example, to enter 12113:

   %20(1).avif)
   .avif)
   .avif)
   .avif)
   .avif)

3. After entering the correct code, the radio will beep and become operational. If you enter the wrong code too many times (usually 10), the radio will lock out. Disconnecting the battery for a few minutes can reset this.
