you'll probably have to take the radio out and get the serial # from the back, then take it to honda and they'll give u the right code

actually the vin # only works if the radio is the one that came with the car. easiest way to do it is get the serial off of the back of the radio(takes like 30 sec to take it out no shit)and take it to the nearest dealership. you will have to have ID title and possibly registration handy. they will look up your radio and give you the code. the reason i say this is bc my car was stolen about a year and a half ago and when i stole it back the radio, spare, manual, and a few other things were missing. but the chick left a whole crap load of her clothes in the car(she was at work when we went to steal it back) bras panties shirts skirts pants etc. i threw all that stuff out on the way back but i kept the panties.....lol jk. anyway i had to get a new radio. i left my lights on+battery went dead+radio quit working=i had to get a new code.

he's not kidding... WOLVES...

Nice to have you on board. Get the serial number from you radio and you will get the code from Acura. Or replace that head unit with something nice. Stock HU sucks. No MP3 and no iPod jack. As for mods, you can read all about it on here. There is a lot of stuff people do to their cars. Some of it is and some is . You will have to be your own judge on what is what. Good luck, drive safe and happy modding.

MY radio code was underneath the cup holder... check there or in your glove box before going thru the hassle of the dealer... It's a six digit number.

Late poster here, welcome to the board OKC, Edmond here. Do you go to school at UCO for nursing? Just curious. I can tell you some killer places in town to get parts and work done when you need it. And again, welcome.

Oh, I forgot a radio thing... I've posted pics of my JVC, KD SX980. It has a remote, mp3, and a line in jack for plugging in iPods, laptops, walkman cassette players, pretty much anything that has a headphone jack. very usefull though it was inovative when I bought it almost three years ago... I would imagine there are some newer versions of it. Very nice sound, mates well with the BOSE.

You're probably talking about primrose. i.e. Pink!

What model is your CL 2.2, 2.3, or 3.0?

My suggestion for a headunit would be a pioneer.
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn...6_4039,00.html
I have the DEH-P7700MP...I love it.



Anyways, wish you the best in school.

yea, I've had only one head unit since I first got my license. It's a Pioneer something or other (havn't thought about it in a while). I got it in 2001 when I first got my Camaro and took it with me through every car I've owned and plan on installing it on my acura as well. However it doesn't have an input for my iPod, but I know there is a converter that converts the mic jack type input to RCA to plug in the back.
