Hi there,
I recently put a new battery into my 97 Honda Civic Hatchback, and can not remember how to reset the radio with the secret button. I had to do it once before, but I simply can not remember, and the Honda dealer near me doesn't know either.

Any help?

Thanks!

There is a code recorded someplace that must be entered on the radio. Could be in your manual or someother place. If not get the radio information and the dealer can help you get the code.
