Hey quick question not sure if anyone knows an easy solution. Yesterday had to unplug my battery unexpectedly. Since I still have the stock stereo this tripped the security and I need the code to turn it back in. If I just drive over to Acura will they punch it in for me real quick or is this gonna be a big deal. Or if anyone here has a code . Let me know what ya think
Thanks Alot

 

Its a little more involved. They have to remove the radio to get the serial number then punch it in. They charged my like $70 for labor, but I had the body shop that worked on my car pay for it since they unhooked the battery. If you removed the radio yourself, and brought it to the dealer they shouldn't charge you.

Also, check to see its not written in your manual or somewhere in the glove compartment by the previous owner.

 

yeah check in or owners manual...there should be a little card or look up your stereo in the index and see if you cant find the numbers you are looking for.

 

Yeah mine was on a little business-card sized card. Maybe you can find it w/ your manual.

 

If you have a 97 your gonna need your VIN and call acura owners link. if you have a 98+ you can find the code in several places. The most common by far i believe is on the outside left side of your glove box. There should bit a stick on there with the serial number, and a 5 digit code. Take a look and see if its there

 

Thanks a lot for all the help 97cl22 do u know the number to acura owners link, i have a 97 also

 

look under ur hood...the fuse box...the code is written on the cover...at least mine is

 

it could be there. They place the stickers in a few locations randomly. The glove box, the fuse box under the hood, in the trunk near the amp. Give em a look and you'll find it. Unless you have a 97.

 

Yeah i have a '97

 

I checked out that Acura owners link website, didn't see a number how do i contact them for help on the radio issue?

 

Just find an acura customer service number. The dealership the car was originally sold at might have it too. If not you can call a dealership to get the number for customer service. You'll need your VIN number so have that handy.

 

i have a 97 3.0 and it was on a card in the owners manual and also written on the page dealing with the cd player.
