Entering Security Code

2009 Honda CR-V EX, 2.4 RE3SECTION Entering Security Code

Any time the navigation system loses power, you need to enter the 4-digit anti-theft code on the navigation system display. This 4-digit code is located on a small code card that was given to the customer. Enter the 4-digit code, then select Done.

If the navigation system anti-theft code is missing, use the interactive Network (iN) to look it up. You need the serial number for the audio-navigation unit to do this. You can view the serial number by entering the diagnostic mode. Navi ECU diagnostic screen. This gives you the serial number without removing the audio-navigation unit.

The iN may display more than one code for a given serial number. This is because serial numbers are not unique. You may have to try more than one 4-digit code. If no code is shown, or if the code(s) given do not work in the audio-navigation unit, contact the Automobile Warranty department. If the code 0000 works, replace the audio-navigation unit (see AUDIO-NAVIGATION UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - ('07-09 MODELS)Β ).

When replacing the audio-navigation unit, make sure you give the customer the new anti-theft security code.
