just got a 98' cl 3.0.. my stereo is not working.. it displays 'code'
where can i get the code and will it cost me?


thanks

 

I think the only place would be the Acura dealership. And it'd probably cost you an arm and a leg for those fuckers to fix it. It'd probably be cheaper to just buy a new radio and never have to worry about it again.

 

Um... I'd like to keep the bose audio.... i so some site that wanted 40.00 for it.. any idea?

 

You can get a MUCH BETTER stereo than the Bose system... search the site for info about code location - its been covered many times

 

its free if u go the the dealership. u do need to remove the radio and get the serial number off of it tho. some will do it over the phone most will not. but it is free.

 

or look in the owners case to see if the card with the code number is in there.

 

ill tell it to you for 1000$ i just need you vin# and the number on the back of the stero

 

try tracking down what dealership it came from, i.e. the orig Acura dealer. I have heard of them sticking a label behind the ashtray, in the glove box or in your owners manual. Call a few local dealers and see what they say....

 

also look in the fuse box under the hood, sometimes it's in there.

 

if it is not under the fuse box cover or not in the manual... it could also be on the side of your glove box... just open it and take a look at both sides... it is a white sticker with 5 numbers on it... or could be in the trunk somewhere. those are the normal places...

if all fails pull out your head unit and then call up acura dealer and tell them the number on the back.

 

thanks for the info.. i'll look into it tonight after work.

 

That's where mine is

 

my cl is a mess.. i checked all over.. i didnt find it.. anyhow i call'd up the dealer where the car was bought in 1998, and they told me the car havent been there in 4 yrs so now they want 76.00 for the code cos they gotta search for it.



i might as well spent another 100 and buy an aftermarket shit

 

that's F'N just cause that shit hasn't been there in 4 years they wont give you a service that's free to you? LAzy bastards. It takes five secs to punch in the number off the bottom of the radio. I had to do that when my battery was disconnected for too long.......isn't there a 1800 # you can call that's in the manual?

 

they all charge unless you bring the radio in to them

 

actually they don't... if you have the bar code on the back they will look it up for free... make them. ask to speak with a manager.

 

just remove the radio rite the ser# down or take the radio in to them, and they will give u the code 4 FREE. they want the 75$ to remove the radio and do some "research". dealers allways tryn to fawk u over.
