Radio security code

Radio security code
I recently purchased a '99 TL and just had a new tranny put in, I got my car today from the shop but evidently the radio doesn't want to come on. I checked the manual and it says I need to re-enter the security code. The problem is I don't have the code nor do I have my radio serial number!!! Question is, if I take it to an Acura dealership are they going to be able to reset it for me?

You might also be able to get the code from the Acura dealership that originally sold the car.
That's how I got the codes for the radio and navigation system on my 1999 TL a few weeks ago. The dealership phone rep just asked for the car's VIN number.
And there are a pile of threads on this topic in the forums.
Here's a good one that I found by searching for "radio" and "code".

There are a number of different ways to retrieve the codes in that thread.
Be aware that some dealerships will charge something like $90 to reset the code.
Good luck!
