Hi,
I have the original radio displaying a 'c' which i am assuming is for Code. Various posts online say look for a sticker in the glove box, but i havent found any. Anyone found their code somewhere else? There was no documentation when i bought the car.
Cheers
Gordon

If it's a UK car, a Honda dealer should be able to look it up for you?
Depending on your relationship with the parts dept (are you on first name terms with them i.e. spent far too much cash there
) you might or might not get charged for it though...

Finally got the original phillips unit out. Gave the chassis number and radio serial number to my local honda dealer but they say they dont have the code. The unit is branded Honda but whatever. Ill bin it, unless anyone wants it you can have it,

It sounds like your radio was swapped out at some point - Most 3G Preludes in the UK came with a Panasonic head unit. Perhaps explains why they couldn't trace the code.

The Philips is really rare - I've only ever seen it in the UK brochures!
I've got number 2 on the 1990 list!!! (Panasonic CQ-SH676A). I think some of these ended up in the early UK 4Gs too?

Ah, my dad bought one of those Phillips radios when he worked for a subsidiary (and they ran a Phillips staff shop).
It was actually a really good headunit.
Phillips themselves may well be able to help with the code - they have excellent aftersales support tbh.
