HONDA 2012 Pilot - Manual (Page 402)

If your vehicle’s battery is
disconnected or goes dead, or the
radio fuse is removed, the audio
system will disabled itself. If this
happens, there are two methods to
make it work again. Turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position, press
the power/volume knob once. The
enter code screen will appear.
You should have received a card that
lists your audio system code number
and serial number. It is best to store
this card in a safe place at home. In
addition, you should write the audio
system’s serial number in this owner’s
manual. Vehicle Specific Method Press
and hold the power/volume knob for
a few seconds, the audio unit will
check the VIN information stored in
the vehicle. The audio system will
start activating if the VIN
information stored in the audio
system and the vehicle match.
Security Code Method The enter
code screen will appear. Use the
preset buttons to enter the five-digit
code. The code is on the radio code
card included in your owner’s
manual kit. When it is entered
correctly, the radio will start playing.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
five-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for
one hour before trying again.
If you cannot activate the audio
system, and lose the card, take the
vehicle to your dealer.
