Should i invest in one? Or will it just sit in the toolbox
I'm a DIY home wrencher now. Mainly small group of friends and family.
I recently did a battery install for a friend with a honda fit. Tiny battery but simple job. Everything went well minus radio code.
Went thru the whole glove box, owners manual. Looking for stickers in the trunk (i think GM and VW used to put a sticker in the spare tire area). No dice.
Called the local honda dealership they wanted 1 hour of labor (roughly $200 after taxes) to get this done because they weren't a customer.
I tired the common 0000, 1234, and whatever random ideas google came up with. Ended up buying the code off ebay for like $5.
Are Hondas only ones still doing this?? I'm thinking with newer cars and the tech, maybe i should try to keep the battery memory. Most of these memory saves on amazon have the CIG lighter to OBD port. I dont have jump pack with a cig lighter now.
I swap and code batteries on VW with my OBD11 all the time. Thats completely diffrent.
