You probably need a code to enter into the radio presets as it is a security radio.

Without the code it will not function.

Changed battery interior light stays on radio not working?

By changing the battery, you erased your car's computer presets. Your car probably has an anti-theft radio, that locks when power is lost to it, and requires a factory security code to unlock it. The code might be in a section of the owner's manual, but if you cannot find it, you have to go to a new car dealership and have them reset the radio.

You have to use the radio preset to insert the 5 digit code that came with the car on a small tag. Look in the owners manual and everywhere inside the glove box for this code. If you cannot find it go to http://owners. honda. com/hondalink (Remove spaces) and register you Honda. After registering you can get the code by clicking Retrieve Radio/Nac Code on the left in the menu.


Would a custom stereo system cause the battery to go dead when your grand am is not in use 93 grand am se 2door V6 33l If so would it be bad wiring bad alternator bad battery?

Car Radios take very little energy to run, so it'll take many hours of non-use to kill the battery. It is probably the wiring of the radio that is wrong. The radio should fully go off when car goes off. There needs to be a positive a negative and a wire hooked up under the fuse box to allow radio to come on when car comes on and go off when car goes off. You should be able to figure this out by the color of the wires on your wire hareness (wire adapter for radio to stock connector.) or just bring your car and radio to a car audio shop and they can do it for you. If so, it would only be a dead battery, and a jump start would get you going again.

Stereo has no sound after installing new battery in Honda element?

Honda radios have a security feature which prevents their use if they are stolen. This security feature is activated if the radio is disconnected from the battery (I.E. battery in car replaced). There should be a security code in your owners manual. Enter the correct code, and the radio will work. If you don't have the original owners manual, (or you can't find the information), you will have to go to a Honda dealer. They will have to verify ownership of the car/radio and can then look up the code.
