Radio code help for you

so some of you may already know this but if I can help one person thats cool. SO,I did some car work this weekend and couldnt find my radio code card. I know a bunch of you have delt with this. I called up my local acura parts dept and the girl had me shut my radio off, with the car on, hold down preset #1 and #6 at the same time and 2 codes pop up on your screen. I gave her the codes and she gave me my radio code right from her acura website in seconds, over the phone. AND - in case mine didnt work, se gave me the acura generic radio code as well, there are a few she said but narrowed it down by the codes i gave her.
It worked , i have music again!
Hope this helps someone.

the radio trick only works on certain years, there are other methods too, like by vin- an online search will reveal them
Once you have the codes- store them on your acura.com account
Smart owners write them somewhere, like the edge of the glovebox door

Another help is sometimes it wont take a code unless no antenna signal present- that means unplug the antenna or go to an underground parking lot and try it there
