11. I think the Honda is the same as my Dodge van (you need a code to deal with the anti-theft system).

Here is the AI summary of what they recommend to unlock the anti-theft system:

"After replacing the 2010 Honda battery, the radio will likely lock, requiring a
5-digit anti-theft code entered via radio preset buttons. Locate this code on a sticker in the glove box, in the owner's manual, or online at radio-navicode.honda.com using your VIN and radio serial number.

How to Retrieve the 2010 Honda Radio Code:

Check Documents: Look for a small white card in the glove box, owner's manual, or with service records.
Online Tool: Visit https://radio-navicode.honda.com with your VIN and the serial number of your radio.
Dealer: Call a Honda dealer, provide your VIN, and they can look up the code. "
