Retrieving radio codes through serial number...
In the process of elimination of trying to figure out the wiring for the trailer, I checked and removed several fuses. Including the radio fuse, not realizing what would happen.
And of course no radio code sticker, card, engraving or otherwise to be found in the glove box. I came across this valuable piece of info and thought I would share... This is the process of getting the serial number of your radio in a 2007 Honda Fit GD3, that then can be told to the nearest honda dealer for your radio code. Here’s how: Method 1 (all applicable models except ’03–07 Accords with the navigation system) 1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). 2. Turn on the audio unit, and make sure you see COdE in the display. If you don’t see this message, pull the backup fuse for 1 minute, and then go back to step 1. 3. Turn off the audio unit. 4. 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, U2200). The second screen displays an L and the last four digits of the serial number (for example, L0055). Ignore the U and L, and write down all eight digits. Method 2 (’03–07 Accords with the navigation system) 1. Turn the ignition switch to ACC (I). 2. Turn on the audio unit, and make sure you see COdE in the upper display. If you don’t see this message, pull the backup fuse for 1 minute, and then go back to step 1. 3. Turn off the audio unit. 4. Press and hold the top halves of the SEEK/SKIP and CH/DISC bars, and then press and release the PWR/VOL knob. This display toggles between two screens. The first screen displays a U and the first four digits of the serial number (for example, U2200). The second screen displays an L and the last four digits of the serial number (for example, L0055). Ignore the U and L, and write down all eight digits. 5. Call Honda Dealer for Radio Code. 6. Use the TUNE knob to enter the first four digits of the anti-theft code into the audio unit. (Ignore the last digit; it’s not used.) When you turn the TUNE knob, COdE disappears, and a single digit is displayed. Turn the knob left or right to select each of the anti-theft code digits. When you press the TUNE knob, the system beeps and accepts each digit as it spells out CODE on the display. |

Or sign up for Honda Owners Link online, and it will store the radio code there for you.

call me crazy, but the radio code is listed inside the glovebox...

The first thing I did when I got my Fit was to take a "high tech marking device" (Sharpie Fine Point), and write the radios unlock code under the hood. To retrive the code I simply open the hood and look at it.

Don't think it's in my glovebox. Wouldnt be very secure if it was. I have the card in my Fit file in my office. along with the cars from the other 3 hondas at the house.

Mine was not in the glove box and I did not receive the card, that is why I posted the info. |

IF you have the radio's serial number.

They give me the code :cool: at this point, though, I've got my code memorized (I disconnect the battery and reset the ECU every time I add a mod) |

Actually you don't even need the serial number off the head unit.

Dunno, it was right on the left side of the glove box, right under another number, very easy to find. Would be surprised if other Hondas don't have it there.
