Hey yall,
I have a problem,
I bought a dvd navigation for my 99 tl.
When i put it in, it asks for a pin number.
I tried the pin that the person gave me, but it doesnt work
p/n: 39540-SZ3-A920-M1
REF NO. BN410A0
the serial number is : B20618317B
the pin i was given is :6095

however it keeps saying incorrect pin.
please help guys, i wanna get this working and dont wanna pay extra money to find the pin from the dealer.
thanks in advance.

 

In case the code is wrong, your local Acura dealer should be able to give you the correct code. They might ask for the VIN number of your TL also.

i called acura, and they gave me the same pin as above.
what am i doing wrong.
i took out the hard drive unit, put in the dvd one
plugged it up
turned the car on
and entered the pin.
it keeps saying incorrect pin
any suggestions.
thanks

 

the pin number is set by the user, and has to be reset somehow. the code you received is the navi anti theft code. u either have to try and contact the original owner of the car, or call a dealer and see what can be done.

 

That's very interesting! Thanks. I was confusing the PIN with the security code.

I just bought a DVD navi unit for my 99 TL and I'll have to ask the original owner for the PIN.

I imagine that there's some sort of reset somewhere. Perhaps it's within the diagostic menu.

can you suggest some common pin numbers besides 0000, i can try a few of them to see if they work

 

I wouldn't even try to guess a combo beyond something like "1234". There are just too many possible combos.

Here's a thread with information on resetting the navigation system along with the PIN:

Good Luck!

10,000 to be exact.

 

I called Acura and they said look on the (left) side of the glove box when opened. There was a couple of stickers with numbers! Use the 4 digit one. It works for me, AND it does not ask for it again unless the batttery is detached or dies.

 

Welcome to the forums.

Your advice is welcomed and accurate but I hope he found it already since it's been almost 2 1/2 years since he posted, but this might help someone who has just encountered the problem.

 

9,999

 

You're forgetting 0000 is a valid code, so 10,000 possible is correct.

 

damnit!

 

^ Haha!

 

What??? So much for security to stop theft ..wtf I think I'll scrape my sticker off just to piss em off if they know about that lol

 

ok guys, I hate to bring back something so old, but I have the same exact problem. the security code given to me by the previous owner AND the dealer still wont unlock the unit.

 

another user i have been helping has this issure.. i even got in touch with the manufactuer and THEIR code was wrong.. i think some of these things are just defective or something... or freak out when its connected to a new car/screen unit
