Which radio is in your Honda Jazz?
The Jazz has had 3 sets of radios since 2002, from the Honda CD and cassette radios to the Honda Connect touchscreens. Find yours by year below, but go by the serial: radios get swapped, and the free check reads it for you.
How to find your Honda Jazz radio serial number
On the screen
- Check the handbook wallet for the anti-theft card first.
- Turn the ignition on and leave the radio off. Hold buttons 1 and 6, then press the power button. Two numbers appear, one starting U and one starting L: write both down. The letters are only labels for the top and bottom halves — the numbers together are the serial.
- Touchscreen (2013 on): go to Settings, then System, then Detailed information.
- Older sat nav cars (2003–2012): hold MAP/GUIDE, MENU and CANCEL together.
- Nothing on screen? Look inside the glovebox door: dealers were asked to stick a label there with the serial on it, written as a B and then eight numbers.
- Off a label, the numbers may sit behind three letters or a B, and sometimes there is one more letter after them. Type the lot — we take the serial out of it.
On the label
The serial is also printed on a label on the top or side of the radio. It comes out with a pair of radio removal keys. Which keys, and where they go: how to remove a car radio.
Photograph the label rather than copying it by hand — 0 and O, 1 and I are easy to mix up.
Tips for your Honda Jazz
- Ignition on, radio off, hold 1 and 6, then power on. If nothing happens, try 2 and 3.
- Note both numbers exactly — the U part and the L part together make the serial.
- If the radio has been changed, the number in the handbook won’t be the right one.
