About

The 2010 EX-L model includes a navigation system, 6-CD changer, DVD/CD player, and Special Mystery Media Player under the driver's seat. It also has a moon roof, fold-flat 3rd-row seats, and a usefully-large storage compartment in the floor in between the first and second rows.

PIN

The environment system (audio player, navigation, heating/cooling) has a number of protective PINs for accessing certain functions:

  • radio: locked whenever battery power is lost; 5 digits
  • touchscreen: locked whenever battery power is lost; 4 digits
  • navigation': same 4-digit code is required to unlock certain functions

These PINs are set at the factory, and are included on the Anti-Theft Identification Card which should have been included with the purchase, but this is apparently sometimes completely wrong.

Fortunately, Honda now provides a web-based lookup tool. It needs the following information:

  • VIN
  • Serial number for radio: with ignition on and radio off, hold down the "1" and "6" keys simultaneously and then turn the radio on. The serial number will immediately appear on the radio's segmented LCD display.
  • Touchscreen interface: the serial number is on the underside of the navigation DVD-R reader, which is located under the driver's seat. To view the serial number without removing the reader, use the self-facing camera on a smartphone -- it is fairly easy to get a blurry-but-readable photo of the serial number, with a little bit of careful maneuvering.
