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).
