Yet another "can't get radio code" thread - interesting problem
I have a 2010 Honda Civic that I bought Pre-Owned (from a dealer). Unfortunately I didn't get the radio code when I bought it and there's no sticker anywhere that I can see.
- I copied down my VIN
- I got the stereo SN (held 1 & 6, pressed power, got an 8-digit SN, no U or L, all #s, no letters)
- Went to https://radio-navicode.honda.com/ and entered all of the info
- The site gave me a FOUR digit code that contains a 7 (presets end at 6)
Called Honda and they ended up giving me the same number. Clearly this number will not work.
Does *anyone* have any advice or suggestions before I rip out the stereo to get the SN off the unit itself?
Thanks all!

A four digit code of digits 0-9 would be for a navigation system unlock. Is yours a navigation system?
Retry dealer again for an audio system code if that's all you have?

Yeah it's just the standard radio/CD stereo, no nav system, don't even have the USB port. Nothing fancy.
