'97 CL Radio Code

Hey, folks.

Sorry for making yet another Acura radio thread, but I'm out of ideas...

For the record, I did search before I posted, but I've had no luck.

First off, I had my car serviced, the battery was removed and blah blah. Radio went dead, asking for code. I purchased my Acura pre-owned from a dealer, but they are unable to assist me, claiming they purchased the Acura from another dealer. And they supposedly do not have the dealer it was purchased from on file...

Went to a real Acura dealership, they of course were unable to help as well, besides an estimate on the cost of removing the unit and getting the serial.

So, what other options do I have? The little sticker is NOT in the glove box, ashtray, side compartment, trunk and also the "press 1 & 6 and turn on the radio" does not work for me. I haven't checked the engine-bay fuse box, but I don't know where that is anyway, and doubt it'd be there

Aside from removing the unit, or replacing it with a better system, do I have any other solutions?

Thanks in advance.

lol... I was thinking of this '91 Toyota Tercel I'm about to buy for my son.

I have a 99 Acura CL.

I can't seem to edit my first post, so... Code for 99 Acura.

I can now confirm that it's not in or around the fuse box.

Try opening the glovebox, look on the outside left of the box. Should be a code on there. I found mine there, but mine is a 97.

Not there, even took out the glove box, since I saw something white behind it, but that wasn't it.

the only way to get it, if you can't find it or are unwilling to pull the radio yourself, is to fork over the money to the stealership.

What you do is..is find the serial Number on the cd player, and then you can just call acura and give them that code and they will give you your code..Simple>>hahah I juss figured that out a couple days ago cuz i was having the same problem!!
