was it a warranty swap? or you bought a radio and lost the code,,or this is a new set to you,,not running yet

ck diy and net search--there is a way for certain years to be forced to give up RADIO code by pushing the 1 and 6 buttons (iirc) and something with the key

otherwise you have to remove the radio to get the secret serial number off it
take that to the acura parts dept or service manager and they can look it up
Proof of purchase on the unit and your id can help if they dont know you

I got a warranty nav dvd some years ago and acura forgot to write the new code down!
wasnt that fun removing dvd unit several times. calls to corp,,many different code attempts,,sure glad the SM had been treated to ice cream and donuts--no charge for all the hassle to get me a nav code
and it was their responsibilty to have written it on the warranty invoice and noted in customer file

NOTE on acura.com owner account you can safely store the radio nav codes!!
such is life

tip: many years find the code wont take until you go to a covered parking structure--under a building,, and/or disconnect radio antenna,, from driver side panel for acces
then it goes in fine

The radio will never give you the radio code. The 1 & 6 method only gets you the serial number. And not that it really matters, but there's two possible radio codes for each serial number.

Just hit 1 & 6 and then turn on the radio. It'll give you two 4-digit numbers; the upper & lower portion which make up the serial number. If you call ACS, they'll instruct you on what you should do.

each year varies on its abilty to give up the code

often acs/800 will tell you take it to the dealer so they can remove the radio at a charge of 1.5 hours~ and get the serial num off it

did you look in the diy section yet?

contact seller and ask for code!
