Anti-Theft Feature

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 Honda Crosstour, 2014 Honda Crosstour, 2013 Honda Crosstour, 2012 Honda Crosstour, and 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The navigation system and audio unit have a coded theft protection circuit. Make sure you have the anti-theft security code before:

After service, reconnect power to the navigation unit, and turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Enter the 4-digit anti-theft security code.

If the code card is lost or unavailable, you can get the code from the iN using the navigation system serial number. The system serial number can easily be obtained without removing the navigation unit. To get the serial number and the code, do this:

The iN may display more than one code for a given serial number. This is because serial numbers are not unique. You may have to try more than one 4-digit code. If no code is shown, or if the code(s) given do not work in the navigation unit, contact the Automobile Warranty department.

Alternatively, you can find the serial number on the underside label which is located on the navigation unit in the cargo area.

When replacing the navigation unit, be sure to give the customer the new anti-theft security code.
