Unlocking Navigation and Radio After Battery Disconnect
Jan 13, 2019
Many cars have anti-theft locks on their radio and navigation system. You have to know the codes in order to reset these devices. Do you know where to find them? Watch the video to find out. They are easier than you think!
Welcome back guys, it's the Tightwad.
My wife's Honda Pilot was being worked on and they disconnected the battery cables,
which engaged some anti-theft systems.
The first one we're going to look at today is her radio.
You'll notice that it says enter code.
It's asking for a secret passcode to unlock the radio because if it gets stolen out of
the vehicle, someone can't use it unless they have the codes to get it unlocked.
To get your code, you need to come around to the passenger side of the car and open
your glove box.
There are two white stickers.
In the bottom one, you'll see that there is a five-digit code on the top line.
This is the code that you need to reset your radio and disable the anti-theft lock.
So 43622 is the code on mine.
So now on my system, I'll enter 43622 and you'll see that the code lock goes away and
it enables the radio.
The second anti-theft component that activates when the battery is disconnected is with your
GPS navigation system.
And you can see right now it's asking me to enter a code using the dial on the nav system.
The top sticker applies to the navigation system, so it's 1500.
So on this one, we'll enter 1500 and it unlocks your navigation system.
If you found this video helpful in deactivating your anti-theft systems in your vehicle, give
it a thumbs up.
