In my case the solution was a fuse on the passenger side inside fuse box. It is not listed as a fuse for the radio but it is none the less. If your cigarette lighter isn't working either its the fuse. On my 2004 it was fuse # 9 a 15A fuse.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Fixed my problem. I appreciate you posting this. By the way, mine is a 2008 and it worked.
Same thing happened to my Pilot 2004 a week ago. The power shut down on my Radio Clock and Navi. I checked my fuse #9 but it was not busted. Any other recommendations? Thanks.
I did the fuse #9 / 20A in the underhood fuse box. I will check the #9, Passenger's side.
I opened up the Pax side fuse and removed #9/15A. Replaced it and the navi radio clock is now working. Thanks for the info.
2003 #9 -15a. thanks to this site... so happy is working , i was so scared i tought i had to replace all the electrical...
Thanks..this was the exact solution for the same problem in my '05 Honda Pilot
Just fixed our radio on our 2008 pilot that has been broken for years, thanks to this website, Honda said they would need to take apart the dash to fix our radio and it would cost several hundred dollars, so yes the #9 fuse is down by where the passenger feet are, you need to unclip the small cover and it does not say radio, but like merlinstorm said above our cigarette lighter wasn't working either. It worked and thank you so much!!
Thanks, that work for me.

Same thin happened with my '07 Pilot yesterday. Radio stopped working, changed the 20 amp under the hood, still not working. Took advice from this web site and changed the 15 amp position # 9 on the passenger side fuse box and now radio works!!!!! Wife and kids were charging their phones yesterday in the car which must have caused this fuse to blow. Honda dealership told me it would be an $800 job..... not....Thanks Again!!!!
Thanks for the tip, i had same problem and it was the fuse number 9 on passenger side, switched it with another temp. to start the radio, root cause is charging a phone i,e, (cigeratte lighter).
Hondas have a security device that goes to the radio power, look in your owner manual and it should tell you something like how to reset the radio anti heft or something. it is an anti theft for the radio!
Yeah my 07 Honda Pilot did the same thing I just talked to a friend of mine and they said that you need to press number one and number six and it will give you a series of numbers that you can call up Honda dealership and then at that point that give you a code which you need to type in to unlock the radio the anti-theft system you can actually YouTube it

Radio just stopped working as if someone cut the wires. It is not the theft system as I have had to enter the code several times from battery trouble a few months back. I checked the fuse and it is fine. There was a CD in the machine when it stopped working and it did eject when I pushed the ejuect button but it will not accept a CD now. I tried entering the security code even thought no lights come on just in case the display was bad but no go.
I have the same problem. We had our car worked on a few weeks ago and last week I was listening to the radio and it just shut off. I can eject Cd's and DVD's but cannot turn the radio on. There is nothing in the display and the clock is not working. All lights are on and the anti-theft light is blinking. What do I do?
Did you resolve the problem I have the exact same problem.
It does but only IF the unit tries to turn on. There is a code you have to enter to reset the security feature. The security feature is simply when the power is cut to the radio like would happen if it were removed, you then have to enter the owners code to verify that you didn't steal it. The radio prompts you to enter the code. Mine does not do that. It will not even try to power up.
The same thing just happened to my Pilot 2004, NAVI RADIO CLOCK shut while I was driving. I thought this could only happen when you change the battery. The solution which is stated here is check fuse #9. It is not busted so that is not my case. This must be something else.
I have the same issue. Light flashes on anti-theft although, there is no "code" displaying to enter the code. All fuses checked, even purchased the same stereo on e-bay....installed it and same problem! Mine also would eject a disc the first time but yet, no more. Calling Honda before I take it in. I'll letcha know ;).
Jan 2017 - I had the same exact problem with my 2003 Pilot. I checked the radio fuse it was fine. I checked fuse #9 (passenger side floor compartment) for the cigarette lighter and it was blown. When I replaced it the radio worked again - good post folks - would not have thought of that on my own.
I also have this problem, I went to an auto parts store local to me and they suggested that I try to factory reset my radio because it has an anti-theft system sometimes it will lock you out so if you press numbers 1 and number 6 on the station dial and try to hit the power on button it will turn a code that you can invent intern go to your local dealer and get a another code which will unlock the hope that work
You can get a radio code here: https://radiocodevault.com/honda
I have the same issue except all the fuses are fine, even replaced #9 despite it not being blown, no cigarette lighter power either.
