Help! My radio stopped working !

So I'm driving the other day and out of nowhere my radio stops working! I pulled it out to make sure all the connections where good, and, even though I know its still getting power because when I push the eject button the CD ejector makes noise, I checked the fuses, and they are all good. Any ideas ? Please help I miss my music...

BTW its an 07 base with the stock radio and speakers

hmm you do realise, that unplugging the power "locks it down", security feature for anti-theft. When you bought the car, you were givin a 5 digit radio code. look in ur manual or some documents for this code. the digits are 1 thru 6. This feature not only locks down teh "radio" aspect, but the CDand AUX as well. thats what it sounds like to me... if your car lost power, like the battery died or something, than thats y, definatly if you unplugged it from the car itself heh. BTW, i drive a sport 08, but i would assume that the 07 is the same.. i could be wrong -shrugs-

i think the OP only unplugged his radio AFTER it stopped working.

bring it to the dealer...the radio is a warrenty item. as long as your under 36k.

if your not under warrenty.....

recheck your fuse. sometimes it doesnt look bad , but it is. try adn replace it anyway

make sure you have your radio code as Rubba mentioned, disconnect your negative terminal from the battery for a few seconds and it might fix it.

Ill try the negative disconnection thing tomorrow. I know is not the radio code because when the radio needs the code to operate it says ENTER CODE on the screen. My screens not even lighting up. Thanks for the help.

Could it still be a fuse even though the CD ejector is working ?

Thanks everyone. I found the documents from when I first got the Fit!! i even got the widow japanese labels and stuff. there was the card.

Thanks 713_fit. I knew that ia had read something like that in the past.

In a strange subject, the battery just charged ...... @#$%^!!!! I think it's a wake up call.... time to see where to find that Odyssey lightweight battery!!!! in Puerto Rico
