take out the glove box to get a hold of the code for the stock radio???

 

i dont think you have to remove the glove box.. in my case, as well as some others, all we had to do was open the glove box and the radio code was located on the side..

 

glove box removal

1) Unscrew the screws under the glove box. close the glovebox and look under it and there are a set of screws under there

2) Open glove box and unscrew the screw that is attached to the brace thing behind the glove box and pop out the little plastic tab thing.

3) Remove glovebox

4) You'll understand when you look at it

 

Same here, there is a sticker on my glove box on the side. All I have to do it open it up and its right there. Did u look under your coin tray for a sticker? Maybe older TL's have them in different spots i guess.

 

i opened the coin tray and saw nothing. i just saw that big plug. as far as the glove box thingy goes, you guys said the sticker is on the side...which side? the side facing the passenger door or the driver side??

 

There's 2 other possible locations. I think one is inside the fusebox, and the other is on the back of the radio itself

 

young tl is right on the other two locations, did you look on the underside of the coin tray itself? thats where the sticker is for mine

 

man, i wish i read this thread sooner, i had to go the dealer to get my code. luckily they didn't charge me $5 for it this time cuz i went to a different acura dealer.

 

Yeah I think most Honda products have the radio code UNDER the coin tray.

 

I just took out the radio and called an Acura dealership and gave them the serial number.

 

some require proof of ownership, and it cannot be done over the phone.

 

I guess it helps when you know people.

 

They really ALL should considering it kinda defeats the purpose of having an anti-theft radio when the code is in the car and everyone knows where, or if they could just go get it from the dealer without proving they at least own a TL!!

 

Hehehe, who would want to steal our shitty stock head unit?

Even if they bypass all the security features, there's one they can NEVER stop! Our friend CD-PE0 !

I can see it now. These thugs steal it, and try to put it in their riced out Neon. They make sure everything works and none of the security features are active. Then they put a cd in, in says CD-PE2, so they try again, and it reads the first track, then starts skipping and finally stops and says CD-PE0, and then they go crazy!

 

HAHAHA...true enough....

 

i know about the fuse box...no sticker there. i already said there was no sticker under the tray. i looked at the glove box...no sticker. there was no sticker on the back of my radio but then again, why would they put the code on the back of the radio??

 

Putting the sticker somewhere is actually the DEALER that does it. The sticker comes in the manual and it's the dealer's or the owner's option to put it somewhere in the car. At least that's the way it is up here in Canada! Both my TL and my 'Teg had the stickers in the manual and I never saw them anywhere else in the car, and I've had BOTH cars ripped apart pretty well......

 

whats the serial and i can probly get the code from the local dealership here

 

my serial number is: 94A514924

THANKS!

 

I looked under the coin tray, in the glove compartment (all sides), in my car manual specifically looking for the number on a card that they included, but nope, nuthing was found.
