I was missing the owners manual, valet key, and the coin holder. I can't believe I didn't look for the owners manual when I bought it. Didn't realize it until I brought it home and my mom yelled at both me and my dad lol. I guess we were too excited.

The owner was however nice enough to fill her up (gas was over $4) for the drive home. He even emailed me the radio/navi codes a month later and asked how she was doing.

I think "she" is referring to the car. What do you need the radio/navi codes to do anyway? Just picked mine up without those...

Got our TL new, so it wasn't (and isn't) missing anything.
It actually came with mud flaps as an extra, and a small gift basket arrived later.

As an anti-theft measure, the radio and Navi shut down when the battery is disconnected for work on the engine or electrical systems; the radio & navi sometimes shut down when the battery runs down too.
Separate codes are needed for the radio & navi to reactivate them after reconnecting the power.

The codes are on a plastic business-size card with the paperwork, placed in the owner's manual case or in the spare tire compartment with the cargo nets. If not, techs may have put the codes on a sticker in the glove compartment or on the engine compartment fusebox cover.

IIRC, you'll otherwise need to contact an Acura dealership w/car VIN and radio serial numbers to get the codes.

Welcome to AZ.

Call this number to get the codes 1-800-382-2238. You will have to give them the VIN and stuff but they have the codes. As mentioned above they might be on a card or sticker in the glove box.

By "jacking", you mean that you asked one of the workers at Acura right?.....Right?

lmao...

Its really a long story. I had my car at the stealership for about a week while they did some work on it and one of the sales guys thought it was theirs and took the dvd out of my trunk to put in one of the TL's he sold. They ended up having to buy me an updated one so it was a win for me but i went in about two weeks later and he was no longer working there.

I was missing some fasteners that hold the frame behind the glove box in place. The previous owner must have broken them when changing the cabin air filter. Everything else was there, even the demo DVD-A disc.
