Normally just browse AZ, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

Like the title states, my 06 w/ Nav won't accept the radios CORRECT anti theft code.

This is the first time this has happened to me.

Situation: Had the battery disconnected for about an hour and half while I swapped to a DC5 steering wheel. Got everything back together and the system will accept the Navi code every time but not the radio code.
Yes its the correct code for my serial number, I've used it dozens of times.

I'm hoping someone else has come across this issue with a easy fix, can't stand driving without music anymore.

After some research, I've already tried the following with no luck:

1. Disconnected battery and retried at least 10 times now
2. Disconnected the radio antenna, behind the top cubby
3. Enter the code in an underground parking garage
4. Confirmed serial number and correct anti-theft codes with dealer
5. Check #5 amp fuse on the driver kick panel fuse box

A few things I have't had time to try yet(and would rather avoid honestly)

1. Finding/disconnecting the XM antenna
2. Swapping back to the TSX wheel/sub harness


Things to note: I'm not running the TSX steering wheel sub harness because the 06-08 steering harness can't be removed from cruise and radio controls without cutting it, so for those running the EuroR wheel did you guys have any issues?

It seems its common for Acuras to not accept the radio codes but in almost all situations it was interference from the radio that unplugging resolved.

 

Sorry guys I accidentally created this thead in the 2nd gen forum. Can a mod please move or delete this thread for me.
