First you need the code to enter. Check your owner's information for a business card with Anti-Theft Radio Identification Card at the top. There is a 5 digit code. Enter that using the number keys of your radio when you see "Code" on the digital screen of the stereo. If you don't have the code, you need to get it from a Honda dealership. You will need the system's serial number to get this.
If you have already tried to enter a code many times, and it doesn't work, do the following: 1. Disconnect the battery, 2. Connect the battery, 3. Put Radio ON 4. Enter the radio code of 4 digits, 5. That's all. If you don't have the radio code of your Honda Odyssey, have on hand its VIN, and ask your former salesperson or your former dealer.
I found it at this site: http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/trouble_shooting/radiocode.html
The easiest way? Remove the center console and then the stereo, on the back of the stereo is a serial number. Call your local dealer and usually (with a little smooth talking) if you have gone to the trouble of retrieving the serial number they give it to you. The price they charge is to do the same thing you just did, remove the console and stereo for the serial. As far as I have heard, the dealer is really the only place that can retrieve the code for you. Another option is to make sure your security system does not need resetting. Reset directions are in the security manual of the car.
To enter a zero press the button zero times (ie ignore it)
There is a piece of sticker in the glove compartment with some number. That's the one you need to enter on the radio button. one question, did you take out the battery cable? Because every time you do, you need to enter that password for the radio system and the anti-theft system to work... My brother got a 1999 Honda accord, hope this help you.
Try disconnecting from the battery the neutral cable for approx 11 minutes. Akhtar
Push the power button on the stereo then enter the code
Push the power button on the stereo then enter the code
In your owners manual, there should be a radio code & how to enter it.

in order to get the radio code you must first take out the stereo and get the serial number off the back of the radio then call a Honda dealership with the VIN and proof of ownership and they can get you the code. You then enter the code using the preset buttons. GOOD LUCK!!

You will need the five digit security code to input via the numbers on the stereo panel. When you turn on the radio you will be prompted to enter the numbers. If you don't have them contact a dealer and they can retrieve them for you.
I found the following answer here (http://www.hondaunited.com/stereo-code-for-2003-Honda-element-t265.htm) after I had my battery replaced and couldn't use my radio. I followed the steps, and I have music again! 1. First, you need make sure your stereo is off, then hold down the 1st & 6th preset buttons for the radio while turning the stereo back on. 2. A batch of 8 numbers (your stereo's serial code) will appear for about 20 seconds. Write them down. 3. Contact your local Honda dealer and let them know you need the 5-digit code to unlock your stereo and then give them the 8-digit serial code you got from the 2nd step. They will give you the 5-digit code that you can then enter into the stereo by again turning on the stereo and pushing the according preset buttons. 4. The stereo will give you 10 tries before it locks you out as a safety feature and then you will have to wait an hour or disconnect the battery and try again. Hopefully you can enter the code in fewer than 10 tries anyway. 5. Enjoy your stereo!
If I remember, turn the stereo on, enter the code using the 6 preset buttons. After the beep, turn the stereo off. Then turn the stereo on and it should be OK. I just pulled my radio to get into the dash.
If you've taken out your factory stereo and didn't replace it with a compatible unit, you may not be able to. From the factory deck, you press the info button a few times until you see "reset oil" and click enter. Simple as that really.
