How to get your NAV+RADIO codes for FREE! '09 TECH
Disclaimer: I have not tried this on any other year/trim TSX! Only on my 2009 Tech!
(Before doing any of the following, check your glove box inside the case where all your owners manual's are. There should be a security card that has your codes. Mine had the card, but the codes were incorrect since the manuals belonged to another TSX and the dealer gave them to me because mine were missing. )
Here's what I did to get the NAV + RADIO unlock code for my 2009 Acura TSX w/ Tech Package:
RADIO:
While the radio is OFF, Press & Hold 1 and 6 then press the POWER button (while still holding 1 and 6); The serial number should show up on the radio screen (usually 6 numerical digits). Take that serial number + your VIN number + your phone number & zip code and plug them all in at this website to reveal your RADIO unlock code:
https://radio-navicode.acura.com/
NAVIGATION:
On the bottom of your HDD (located in your trunk) your navigation's serial # should be visible. It is a variation of number & letters. Take that serial # and follow the same steps as you did with the radio to reveal your Navigation's unlock code.
NOTE: For the Nav, the website gave me an error and I had to call Acura Customer Care and provide them the same information to get the code. (Only took about 1-2 minutes.)
Hope this helps!!

It's mainly for when your battery dies or is disconnected. When either of the two occurs, your radio + navi will automatically lock and prompt for a code that you need to enter to be able to use them again.

I just used the web page to retrieve my NAV code and it worked great. I got the SN from the NAV unit in the trunk. I had the radio code and the web page confirmed it.
