Just received my car out of storage after two years courtesy of the military. I am unable to access the radio or the correct time on the clock. When pressing the radio on button I get "erre" and cannot even advance the clock buttons. My owners manual states that I chould be receiving a "code" as the error message if the battery is disconnected; not the case here! I am currently living in Germany and there is not a Honda Dealer near me. P.S. - even though I live in Germany with all these Porsche's and BMW's and Mercedes, I still love my Honda!

Hi liddell,

If you had tried to operate the rdio for more than 3 times, the radio will lock itself. You need to remove the backup fuse under hood or disconnect the battery for a few seconds to reset it ready for code input.

Hope you have the radio code, if not you would have to contact Honda to get it.
