so the other day i blow the fuse for my stock radio ......so then i replaced the fuse....but now its askin me for a stupid code.....i called up acura and those idiots are charging me $90 just for putting in the code!! anyone else have this problem and htink they can help me out

 

You should have a code card in with your manual. Or you can take your radio out and get teh serial # off it and bring proof of your car and give that to teh dealer, they will be able to bring up the code if you dont have the code card

 

yeah, all you need is the sn# and your vin#. If you give that to the dealer, they will give you the code for free.

If can contact the dealership that intitally sold the car, they should have the sn# on file. At least mine did.

hope this helps.

 

Yea, retrieve your SN#. Hold down 1 & 6 on your radio will pressing the power button. This will give you your SN#. Take that to the dealer and they can get your radio code. Had to do this to mine about 2 weeks ago.

 

I've found that on alot of the newer Honda's that the radio code is under the fuse panel in the engine bay. This is not true for all Honda's I've worked on, but if we can't find the code on the car.... we can usually call our local dealership and get it for free. We've had people get pissed of at us because it's our fault that they didn't know their code.

 

The code might be sticked some where in your glove box.

 

$90 is retarded...when u got ur car it should have came with the code card. when i got my car back from the dealer (for some recall) the radio was out (needed the code) when i showed the dealer they tried to use the code on my card and it didnt work(wrong card for my car), so they removed the wood trim from the right side(passenger side) of the radio and got some type of code from there, ran it in their computer and got my radio code.
so are the gunna charge u $90 to take off the wood trim??

 

thanks alot guys....but outta frustration i luckily checked the fused box in my hood ....and it had a like a 5 or 6 digit number on it...i was like what the hell try it out...and i put it in and it worked! thank god
