audio HONDA INSIGHT 2013 2.G Owner's Guide

If your vehicle’s battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the audio
system disables itself. If this
happens, you will see ‘‘ENTER
CODE’’ in the frequency display next
time you turn on the system. Use the
preset bars (icons on models with
navigation system) to enter the five-
digit code. The code is on the Anti-
theft Identification Card included
in your owner’s manual kit. When it
is entered correctly, the radio will
start playing.
The Anti-thef t Identif ication Card
also lists your audio serial number. It
is best to store the card in a saf e
place at home. In addition, you
should write the audio system’s
serial number in this owner’s manual.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
f ive-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you areunsuccessful in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for
one hour bef ore trying again.
The system will retain your AM and
FM presets even if power is
disconnected.
We recommend that you register the
security code at Owner Link (owners.
honda.com). If you lose the Anti-
thef t Identif ication Card bef ore
registering the code at Owner Link,
you must obtain the code f rom your
dealer or
. To do this, you will need the
audio system’s serial number. If you
do not have the serial number with
you,askyourdealerorgoto for
inf ormation on how to retrieve it. If you lose the Anti-thef t
Identif ication Card, you must obtain
thecodefromyourdealer.Todothis,
you will need the audio system’s
serial number. If you do not have the
serial number with you, ask your
dealer how to retrieve it.

f or the navigation system to
reactivate. The Anti-theft Card also
lists the navigation system’s security
code and serial number. Follow the
same procedure to retrieve the serial
number and obtain the code, and
