Don't know if anyone has commented yet, but if you have the VIN and serial number (as accessed in this video), Honda's website has a search option for finding the code. Took me 30 seconds to get it, now I'm back to rockin' some thrash metal.
My code was in my glove box taped to the bottom front. I never would have thought of looking if I hadn't seen your comment. I was already on my last "error code" try, and would have been locked out if I entered another wrong code. Thanks!!

I bought my Honda Fit 2010 eighteen months ago and was told the radio and clock were broken but the cd player works. As it turned out my cd's were in the back of a 10x15 foot storage unit so all that time I listened to about four cd's over and over, they weren't even my favorites. Two weeks ago I cleared out that storage unit and piled the passenger side of the car with over a hundred cd's! I was so elated. Then two days ago I left the trunk partially open for 48 hours and the battery died. I was devastated when the cd player would not work! What, just when I was listening to my collection that had been in storage for over a year! NO NO NO!!! Then I found your video and OMG not only does the cd player now work but the clock and the radio works!!!!!!!!!!! I don't understand why or how the cd player was working and not the radio and clock? That's ok, it is all working now and I know what to do in the future! I am so grateful! Thank you very much!! 🥰
Thank you so much for making this video. I didn't think anything was really broken because the clock worked but the CD player and the radio did not after I replaced the battery. When I called Honda to see what was wrong, they said it was going to cost almost $400 for them to just look at it. I just fixed myself in 2 minutes thanks to you taking the time to put this video up.💜💙💚
Ah, great. I had relied on the sticker on the manual for years, but I lost it sometime in the past 2-3 years. The key I was missing was holding the buttons down at the same time as the power-on. Honda's recovery system didn't tell me that, nor did the dealer where I bought the car 12 years ago.
I put a new battery in my 2007 Honda Fit. The radio code system kept giving me an error message when I tried to enter the code. I finally realized, if nothing else works, reboot. I disconnected the battery for a few seconds, reconnected, and the system accepted my code.
I’ve tried all of this on my Automatic Transmission 2011 model. I ve got my numbers but the radio display does not light up at all. This happened when my battery cut out and had to be jumped started. Also, now I have to insert my key in the door lock as it doesn’t work when I try to unlock from a distance. Can you offer any advise before I go to a dealer who is not local. Thank you, Tubers are brilliant in helping.
Thanks for this. So simple but was thrown by the letters typing Error Code when I was inputting the code numbers. Oddly enough your code exactly the same as mine!!
I found my “audio code” on the first page of the maintenance log found with my owners manual in the glove box. When the dealership performs the predelivery check list, there is a blank space for the audio code.
Thanks so much, followed the steps and now radio works!!! Just a question, the display for my Honda Fit is always faded; some letters don't show properly. Do you know how to fix it? Thanks
I had the same problem. Then I tried pushing the Volume button in before entering the numbers and, suddenly, my radio was playing. (This may have been pure coincidence. I haven't a technical bone in my body. I'd tried several times the day before and might have exceeded the 10-try limit.)
Code only worked when I put the car in "run," not all the way on and ready to drive. The code is only five digits. If it is longer, it is probably the radio s/n. Call a dealership or a mechanic that works on Hondas and get the radio code.
I used the Honda website to retrieve my code by entering my VIN # and serial # -- but the code I got back has a "9" and a "7" in it. How do I enter a digit that isn't 1-6?
i have the code but it's not working. it says enter C when u turn it on and then as u type the code it spells out code (doesnt show #s) then says error. i'm guessing it should say enter code not c before u start
can you please assist me how to add higher fm frequency of our honda fit car model 2007.. it never reaches 90 in its frequency, thnx a lot for your response..
Hi there, I was wondering, does this car have Bluetooth and if so how do we pair it to an android phone? I can't seem to find anything online regarding this. Thanks!
Crap. This happened to me. Battery replaced by CAA... prompted to enter code. I have the card, safely kept for almost 11 years. The display tells me "error"! I tried 4 times. And it tells me how many erros I have made.
Still not working??? Found a solution my radio screen is totally messed up and doesnt display much 😑 soo normally it will display ERROR . What u have to do is diconnect the black cable on yohr battery for 3 minutes. This will reset the radio. Then type in your code and everything should work fine

Super helpful, thank you!
i don’t think the website finds the code for you anymore🥲
I wish every video I looked up about this type of thing were as clear and succinct as this video. Simply, thank you.
Thanks! Code is on the side of the glovebox closest to the radio if your car didn't come with the owners manual like mine that I bought from CarMax.
ur comment really helped me out thanks alot

Omg thank you so so much! My manual didn't have anything either, but this way I managed to fix it, it was driving me insane
Comment was helpful!

You're more helpful than the car dealers are.
It boggles my mind why this is required when you get a new battery installed. … Thanks for giving me the solution to my problem!!!

Thanks a lot man. I bought the car used so I didn’t have the code. You saved me the hassle of having to going to the dealership.
Me too🎉 I'm so glad I didn't have to go to the dealership 🎉
I didn't get a code when I bought my car two years ago. Thank youuuu for thisssss
Thanks, clear understandable instructions that work without lecturing about all the stuff that does not pertain to restting the radio.
You've made my life come. My head was already brooding
Bless you I'm 63 and was so lost.

It also has the code inside the glove compartment you have to open the glove box and on the left side is a sticker with the 5 digit code on it
No sticker on it.
Please help
Crazy how I went from your 2013 video, "2012 Honda Fit - Oil Life Light Reset - How to" to this 2020 video, and it only took me about two minutes!
Thank you for this video you just saved my sanity!
The very definition of succinct. Thank you.

Thank you for showing this, I couldn’t figure out what power button to push (facepalm) and kept pushing the volume button
My problem exactly!! Never knew where the power button was!!
Thank you for your help. When I get this code I’m putting it in my wallet and cell phone notes 🤦🏽♀️
Thank you for this video! It’s so helpful
That was it?
Well thanks a lot, That really helped

Excellent video! Worked for me
What can I do, I have no code and the digits on the screen are not clear. So I don't know ir is 4 or 9, and so on, what can I do?
I have no trouble resetting my 2012 Honda Fit. The problem is I need to do it every time. What is the way to make it last?
Hi man I did all that the dealer text me the code and still not work I need help with this please
How do you put in a number 8 when there are only 6 digits available?
i have the code but it's not working. it says enter C when u turn it on and then as u type the code it spells out code (doesnt show #s) then says error. i'm guessing it should say enter code not c before u start
No, We Thank You!!!

Thankyou my friend!
My radio is not working but how did you get that enter code screen?
Hi there, I was wondering, does this car have Bluetooth and if so how do we pair it to an android phone? I can't seem to find anything online regarding this. Thanks!
It does not have Bluetooth and probably wouldn't work with a phone
I wish the video I used to replace my battery had mentioned the code, lol.
Lucked out and still had the code card with the manual in the glove box. Cool tip to see the S/N # regardless.
If anytime in the future just start the car then disconnect the battery as long as the car is on your radio will not loose it’s memory
Thanks
Thanks mate
Thanks so much!! 🤗
When you see the Serialnumber, pressing 6... 5... 2... should also work - if you lost your card.
What a hero
Thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you ♡♡♡
Thank you!!
Thank you

Hurrah! Thanks!!!!
This is so dumb. Is there a way to disable for future battery death?
Didn’t work on mine although I had the code and mine is a 2012 Honda jazz
Website and Honda give me 5840B. There are no 8’s, B’s or O’s to enter. I only have 1-6. Honda can’t figure it out. Any advice?
