Honda uses the same fuse for the cigarette lighter and radio. The fuse panel is under the dashboard, to the left of the steering wheel. But if it blew a fuse, you want to find out why before you burn something up. DO NOT replace the fuse with anything other than the original load rating.
Good Luck

Some stereo head units have a fuse inline with the power wire, it could be a standard 20 amp bladed fuse that plugs right into the back of the radio, (my Denon deck has that) or an old-style cylindrical glass fuse. Check any other relays that might be associated with the lighter and radio group. As someone else pointed out, a test light or even a digital multimeter can determine if you have a bad fuse.

Sounds like a fuse the accessory radio and cigarette lighter are on the same fuse. Check fuses in vehicle before you pay someone else. Or take it to Pep Boys an installer will look at it for nothing and charge you for the fuse and $5 for installing it if you can't find it.

Good luck

I would check your fuses before going into a shop they should be located in either the glove box or the trunk

Fuses are the most obvious
