Sat nav code

Keith65 · Mar 22, 2021

Just replaced the battery on my 2014 civic 2.2d-tec. No issues changing battery and running fine. The problem is the built in sat nav, as with most cars needs a 4 digit code. On checking the card for sat nav, no 4 digit code just a serial no. I phoned my most local dealership to be told that because of the type of sat nav I have (series 4000) I would have to bring it in to have the code put in there. I would also have to bring my V5 and driving license as proof of ownership. I just can’t understand why the need for such security, it’s hardly a top notch sat nav. If anyone could enlighten me it would be appreciated.

I thought they were linked to the car via VIN and didn't need a code.

Just visited Honda dealership to be told it will have to be sent away to Belgium at a cost of £200 to be reset as these sat navs code are set by the owner and as I’ve had the car 3 years don’t have any details of original owner. Any ideas really don’t want to fork out £200

Try 0000 or spend that £200 on a decent Garmin/Tomtom with llifetime map updates.

Already have a Tom Tom with lifetime maps that I use far more than the out of date maps on car’s one. The main problem with the car’s one is it’s also the radio, cd aux and hands free phone. So a major loss without it.

I sense a full double DIN decent head unit coming here

So I had the car almost three years and couldn’t remember setting the code myself. So just gone out to my car and tried a code I use for a few minor things and low and behold it’s now working. Can’t remember ever entering the code myself but there you go. Getting old. Thanks all for you responses anyway.
