New owner, New problem

I all, I just purchased a used 2010 fit sport and have absolutely loved the car. The cheep skate in me loves the fuel mileage.

I did buy the car with the radio needing to have the radio code entered though. So I went to the local Honda Dealer and they looked up the code for me. Unfortunately, the code wouldn't work. We got the serial number by pressing 1 and 6 while also hitting the power button. Is there any other way that I can get my radio going? Thanks for the help in advance.

Does the radio have any errors on the face plate like CODE ERROR???

You might want to clear the radio memory by pulling the radio fuse or the pos batt cable for 60 sec then try the code you were given again.

If the code was entered incorrectly more than 10 times, it locks you out. To clear this you have to leave the radio powered up for an hour or longer.

It could be the radio is bad if the code was entered correctly.

Use the preset buttons to enter the
code. On vehicles with navigation
system, touch the Done icon to set
the code. The code is on the radio
code card included in your owner's
manual kit. When it is entered
correctly, the radio will start playing.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
sequence, then enter the correct
code. You have 10 tries to enter the
correct code. If you are unsuccessful
in 10 attempts, you must then leave
the system on for 1 hour before
trying again.

I ended up getting things figured out. I called American Honda and got the code from them. The one from the dealer wasn't even close. Ha ha.
