find your manual. its really easy to do yourself. find any screws and unscrew them. the only one that should be the hardest to find would be under then glove box. open it and you should see it around the top left corner. then remove the panels and find screws that hold radio in. unplug wires. voila. correct me if im wrong.

 

I'm a girl trying to do this I think I may need a little better instructions please ................lol lol , were are the other screws ?? is there a DIY website that I can see ?? maybe with pictures and instructions ?? Thank You again .

 

I would suggest first that you rip apart your glove box and search for the code that honda should have included in the origional manual. I believe its some sort of card, or small paper that comes along with new hondas showing the specific radio code for your car. You can probably take the entire car to a dealer and have them take it out, but that might cost some money, not really sure.

I had the same issue with our CR-V, but luckily it was newer and you could get the serial number directly from pushing a few buttons on the radio. It's a pain to get those things out, maybe find some helpful guy to rip it out for you.

Good luck, wish I could just come over and do it for you, but I might break it like i did my car.

 

Oh haha my fault. Well It's realllyyy cold outside 30 below here in jersey and I'll go take pictures and make a diy if you need one. For the mean time I'll search one up for you.

 

Gin0o0o , that would be great if you can do that , Thank you , I'll wait and check in from time to time to see if you posted again , ................................... yeah it is cold outside , I'm in RI and its the same weather here , ................................ I would've taken it to a Honda dealer but they want to charge me money to do so , so I guess I'm on my own taking the radio out , hopefully I will be able to do it .
