pull the radio out and get the serial number off the bottom, or the back, of the case.
Added: On SOME radios (but not all) it is possible to display the radio serial number on the digital dial by pressing buttons 1 & 6 simultaneously while turning the radio on.
Another suggestion - look through your owner's manual carefully - occasionally the dealer or a previouis owner will have written this information in in somewhere, usually the front cover, or on the page that describes how to operate the radio.
You will have to remove the radio to see the serial #. Located on the back, side, or top of the radio.
If you have 2002 or newer Honda turn the vehicle to the on position. Press the preset buttons 1 and 6 at the same time while turning on the radio. A 10 digit serial number will appear on the radio display. If you have a 2001 or older Honda the serial number is located on the body of the radio unit.
To find the serial number on an HD radio, look at the back or bottom of the radio. In most cases, the serial number is marked SN and is located on a small plate or tag at the bottom or back of the radio.
None of those numbers will help. You will need the Serial # off the radio to find the code. Any Honda dealer can tell you if you have that Serial #. Of course you will need to remove the radio to see it on the radio chassis.
The radio's serial number is necessary when you contact Honda (800 number or local dealer) and request the code number to that particular radio. I don't own a Pilot but I've heard that some Honda radios will display the radio's serial number when you hold down buttons 1 and 6 simultaneously and turn it on.
Try referring to your owner's manual! you also have the second option of contacting the customer service department at Honda Check the link below: Just press radio number #1 and 6 at the same time and the radio code will appear.
first you need the serial number of the radio which is located on the back of the radio. Honda will charge you about $60 to remove the radio and get the serial number. once Honda has the serial number they can look up the radio code on their computer system
Remove the radio from the dash. On the back side of the radio you should find a decal with the serial number on it.

You must remove the radio and read the serial # off the chassis. Or you can do it the easy way if you actually own the vehicle. Go to this new Honda website link I am posting.
Honda installed several different radios in CR-V's.First: look in your owner's manual. Just maybe, the selling dealer or a previous owner wrote it down in there somewhere. Second: you will need the radio's serial number. Some radios will display the serial number - when you turn it on if the display says "code" try pressing buttons 1 and 6 simultaneously, that might dispaly the radio serial number. If not, you will have to pull the radio case far enough out of the dashboard to see the plate containing the serial number either on the back or the underside of the radio. When you have the serial number, call or go to your local Honda Dealer and give them the serial number, they should be able to give you the code.

First check to see if the dealer (or prior owner) may have written it down somewhere in your owner's manual. If not, I'm told that on the newer model years, that when the word "CODE" is displayed in the tuner window, press buttons 1 and 6 simultaneously. The number that is displayed is the radio serial number. Either call Honda's customer service 800 number, or go to your local Honda dealer - give them the serial number and they should be able to supply you with the unlock code. If that doesn't work you will have to retrieve the radio serial number off the tag that is either on the back or the bottom of the radio case. You will have to slide the radio out of the dash to get to them.Look in the glove box and it should be located on the side on a white label. If not you can go to the Honda Owners Link and get it once you sign up.
My local Honda dealer wanted $116 to remove the radio and check the serial number. (1998 Accord) I went home and removed 2 screws at the bottom of the plastic trim and pulled it out and held it up. Then I could remove the 4 screws holding the radio in place. I then pulled out the radio enough to turn it upside down and read the serial number. Call the Honda phone number on the Honda owner's website or go to the dealer for the radio code to enter using the radio pushbuttons.
the radio in your van has a anti-theft code that is needed to restart the radio when it looses power, most times(durning pre-delivery inspection) there is a sticker installed in the glove box with the code and\or serial number on it. The sticker is about one inch long by a half inch wide. the code will be 5 digits and the serial number will be 8. If the sticker is not there you will need to go to a Honda dealership were they can hold a group of buttons on the radio and get it to display the serial number which they can then use to get the radio code from Honda's Dealer only web site.
