Post your eight digit code from display (hold first and last preset button down while powering on I think, that's preset 1 & 6 for a standard Jazz/Fit) plus VIN# and be nice & helpful to others. Sometimes you might find the five digit security code in the glovebox if it's not in your handbook.

Hi everyone,
Sorry I think I’m making a mess of where I should post this as it’s quoting someone’s reply...sorry about this.
I was after advice,
My mums car is a 2009 CRV. It has a satnav radio screen in built.
It came up with a dvd disc read error.
Honda quoted £400 to repair it with no guarantee they could repair it and £700 for a new replacement.
I found the same unit going for £103 from a breakers yard but the code is needed. I called Honda as said the situation and they said it’s impossible to get the code without the vehicle it came from VIN. I called the breakers and they don’t have the VIN on record as not all their parts came from cars they had broken themselves and some come from insurers who own the rights to the vehicle or something along those lines.
My brother opened up the original unit to investigate what the strange noise coming from it was, he found that the motor screw they should drive the DVD laser lens had a broken where it would mate with a plastic piece to move it up and down.
We thought we should get the replacement unit anyway and try it.
It works, but asks for a code, sort of as expected.
We called a company who said they could decode it for the sum of £235 + VAT which seemed extortionate.
All I have is the serial and model numbers of the radio that came out of my mums car and the same info for the radio we bought from the breakers.
Is it possible to just get a code with that info ??
Last resort will be trying to replace the newer DVD drive with the faulty one in the original unit and hoping the code for the original unit wine he affected by switching the hardware.
Can anyone advise what’s best ?
Thanks for your help
Sorry for length first post
