How do you reset the radio code on a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant?

Answer 1

First: Check the owner's manual. If you're lucky, sometimes the dealer or former owner will have written down the code number somewhere in the manual (inside the front cover or on the page that describes the radio operation are favorite places). Also check the interior of the glove compartment - sometimes the dealer will affix a sticker containing the serial number here, too. IF NOT: You will need to retrieve the radio serial number. On SOME radios you can do this by holding down both the number 1 and the number 6 buttons simultaneously as you turn on the radio. If you have one of those radios, the serial number will appear in the tuning window when you turn it on. IF NOT: You will need to loosen the radio and slide it far enough out of the dashboard in order to get the serial number off the plate that is affixed either on the back, or the bottom, of the radio case. When you have gotten the serial number - either call the Honda Customer Service 800 number, or stop by your local Honda dealer and give them the serial number and they should be able to give you the anti-theft security code for your radio. WRITE IT DOWN SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU WON"T FORGET IT! This will happen every time the battery is disconnected or goes dead.

Answer 2

You can either remove the Radio Fuse and let the car cool down and/or Battery for a while. You can get the Radio Code for free by calling America Honda 1-(800)-999-1009

You can also call dealer they have the codes in there computer they will walk you through it but they will most likely charge you a fee.

Answer 3

You must insert the 5 digit code in the radio. Use the radio preset buttons to do this. If you do not have the code then you will have to get the serial # off the radio. With that serial # any Honda dealer will be able to supply the code.

Answer 4

The exact method to reset a radio with a code will vary depending on the make and model of the car. Reset codes are typically needed when there is a power loss to the car or the radio requires maintenance.

Answer 5

leve your car streo on for at least 1 hour OR disconnect battery for 15-20 minutes. And try to reenter the code(4 digits)

Answer 6

If it's the theft prevention code that's locked in then only a dealer can unlock it.

Some cars have this code to prevent a thief from stealing them and reselling them on the markets.

Answer 7

Take out the radio and get the VIN and serial number off it. Call Honda and ask them to give you the stereo code providing them with this information.
