Unhappy Honda protects me from my own CD Player

It makes no sense if ya'll know wha tha anti theft protection does on your CD player. After trying to reset everything in my system by disconnectin tha battery to make it sense the mod I try to install into my IAT sensor...my CD Player asked for a code. After a few attempts, no success...so I had to goto the Honda Dealer physically to get the stupid code. I guess thats when this anti theft came into good use is when some focked up, no good for nothing, useless, shietbag, fock face, low life piece of dog shiet who tries to steal your CD Player. I know that I'm saying too much but hey, the military made me this way. Mean and shiet. Yes...and they made a lot of us too! HAHAHAHA! Especially in WAR!

Well what did you do with the little card that honda gave you with the code to the Radio on it? If it is such a problem, then just get a aftermarket one and then you wont have to worry about it.

And yes, what is this mod you did to the IAT sensor?

Cambo: It supposively fool the computer that its taking in more cold air than usual. But I fixed tha problem already by taking that chip out.

Streetglower: Honda never gave me a card with tha codes on it. But I still like the manufacture CD Player since it has anti theft on it. And the mod, it just caused the malfunction light to come on my dash board...thats all and I just got worried. I'm not gonna use that mod again...it was a waste of 10 bucks. LOL!

read your manual, it tells you how to turn the malfunction light off. That is just a way for the dealer to tell you to take your car in for maintenance, even though it might not need it.

You can head to the Honda Dealer and ask for it. I guess it doesn't depend which one u goto becuz they usually hav it in their system. Callin them on tha phone won't work because they need solid identificationn if u r who u r.
