radio code while radio works.
I have a 2002 honda civic lx coupe. Just purchased, about a month ago. I don't know if there's already a thread like this, sorry if there is. But I need to change my battery soon, I was wondering if there was any way to get the code by pressing a button on my radio to get the code. The radio is fully functional. I've looked in the glove, wasnt there.
1. can I press some buttons for the code to be view, like #1, #2, #3, or w/e.
2. Where else would that code be?
Alright, any help would be appreciated thanks.

Not sure how to see if it will give you a code while it works, but you can try this after you change the battery and don't know the code.

How can the radio be fully functional if it's asking for a code? LOL.
There could be a radio code card with the owners manual stuff, there could be a sticker placed....damn near anywhere inside or outside the car....I've found them stuck inside and outside the glovebox, on the far outside of the glovebox so you have to run around the car like a Chinese fire drill to read it, found them in door jambs, on the battery hold down, on a trunklid hinge, under the speaker shelf....... And unless you are already familiar with what the sticker looks like you might never know what it is. The sticker could only show the serial number, or only a 5 digit code, or both.
The sticker will be about 1 1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide

7th gens had the stickers so you may luck out.
When I did my 05 I had a set or batteries at somewhere around 12volts and jumpered them across before disconnecting the battery. (too lazy to set clock and enter presets)

Alright Thanks guys, just worried I won't have the code after I change the battery, I'll use that link if anything. Last i went in to the dealership for my uncles car they gave me the code in like 5 minuets no problem.
I was planning on changing the component speakers putting sk653 6.5 300w in front with the adapter and pc65.2 6.5 500w in the back. Just for now until I get some money probably for those 13 inch JL that are thin. Would this setup be good enough? Does anyone have these or do you recommended something else?
