Look in the owner's packet of stuff. It should be in there.

Call the dealer who used to service that Odyssey (of unknown vintage)
and they will look up the code in the computer. They often keep it on
file in case the techs have to remove the battery.

They will want your VIN. Order a manual while you have them on the phone
too. Get their fax number, since you may have to fax your registration
to them. You should also fax it to the national office of Honda for the
sake of getting notified of recalls / whatever.

Some dealers put the security code sticker in
the glove box. Seems like a bad idea for
security (thieves can get it) but convenient
for the service department if they have to
disconnect the battery.

Yes, I know this. I checked many sites, and lots of people said that you can find your security code in the glove box\fuse box. I checked all over the car, I mean, EVERYWERE. Its not there. Maybe the previous owners took it out?
Anyways, its not there. I need to remove the radio to check the number up there. Does anyone know how to do this? Or know any sites that will give me step by step instructions on how to remove the radio? FREE? Because i'v been looking for a while, but not having any luck. I did tho, find a few sites that would give instructions for a small fee. Thanks again.

That would be a far smarter thing to do but the
security code for my radio was on a sticker
stuck to the inside of my glove box.

I am absolutely positive since I had to enter
it after the battery was disconnected when
working on the car.

Why isn't there some sort of regulation that a used car cant be sold with
out a OWNERS MANUAL??
At least for safety reasons.... It should be mounted in such a way, for easy
access.
I bought a chair the other day..the cushion had a label on it "Do not remove
under penalty of the law".

Probably because it is easy to determine if there is an owner's manual when
buying the car, and safe operation of the car is the driver's
responsibility. Caveat emptor applies if the subject is obvious.

An interesting comparison! Of course, there the subject is hidden (the sort
of material the cushion is stuffed with) but the amount of importance seems
out of whack. Unfortunately, horse hair was a common stuffing when the
requirement was set and some people are deathly allergic to horse hair (my
son would have suffered a serious asthma attack if in the same room when he
was young).

that "penalty of law" label applies to the retailer, not the consumer.
