Activating the Car Radio with Code Entry

Model: Honda CR-V MK 1 - Years 1995-2001
Part: Car stereo

If the vehicle's battery is disconnected for an extended period or the car radio is disconnected from the power supply for maintenance, the display will show CODE upon the first ignition, and the radio will not function. You must correctly enter the activation code using the preset station buttons (if you enter the code incorrectly, simply switch off and on again to repeat the process; if you repeatedly enter it incorrectly, the radio may lock, and you will need to wait before you can attempt to enter the code again).

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
