Help.. Radio Code not Working

Alright, so i got my original radio replaced two days ago. I bought a working radio from a salvage yard. The radio turns on and asks for a code. I called Acura, and they gave me two codes. I put them in and tried while I was on the phone with the representative and they didn't work. He said something about trying them where there is no radio reception like in an underground garage or tunnel. He said some people have tried that and it worked, but I'm not buyin it. Anybody have any ideas?

2003 Acura TL
Radio S/N: AL05253
Codes given to me: 34231 and 62623

It's true. It does work for some people. Go to an underground garage or some place with no signal. Unplug the radio antenna and put in the code.

For future reference. You can either unplug the antenna (which sounds like a lot of work), or find an underground garage where the radio waves can't reach the radio. Either way you are accomplishing the same goal. Next, just put in the code and the radio will be working again. Just did it two day's ago. In my case the parking under Great Indoors worked great.
