anyone know what the problem can be here? i just got my car out of the shop but the stereo doesnt work. i replaced a fuse under the dash which looked a little burnt out. thinking that the fuse was the problem i started up the car to see if the radio would turn on... and still nothing. i checked the fuses under the hood and everything was fine. made sure my battery was properly tightened cause i had read some posts here about it might being a battery issue. i also read a post where someone's stereo didnt run on either but had a red light flashing... the background lights up but i can not power up the radio. the anti-theft light doesnt even flash nor will my light flash if i press load... the other guy's did. anyone know what the problem might be? ive removed the console from the dash and its clear to work with so if anyone has any advice please help me out. im also planning on putting in a sound system, thats why ive removed the console... thanks in advance....

Did you try inputting the radio code?

When I first got the car yes, and it worked... But after it had been in shop no, it just stopped working; however, they did tell me that I needed the code for the radio, so maybe they tried putting in the code I'm guessing...

Just unplug the battery for 10-15 minutes and try re-entering the radio codes...should work

if not, then you need to go back to the shop and stir up some ruckus.....

I already tried that. And nothing... Anyone know if the stereo locks itself after a certain amount tries or something along those lines? Or will the best option be to go to acura?

i think your shop fucked up your shit.

Yes it locks up after 4-5 tries....that's why you have to disconnect the battery for 10-15 and try again. I know this might sound crazy but...you sure your putting in the correct code? Call Acura (have your VIN handy) and they'll give you your code. If it's the same and still doesn't work...



Any firearm should get the point across to the shop

Are you seeing "COdE" on the display?

If not, pull fuse #7 for one minute and then turn the radio back on.

i literally CAN NOT turn on my radio... i cant see code or anything on the display even though the background lights up... i know my code is correct because when i first got my car i was able to put it in and it worked... but now i cant even turn it on... i'll try pulling the fuse and unplugging the battery again though. thanks for the advice guys. if theres anymore things people on this forum can think of please let me know, anything will help.

aimmaster

wow thanks man! it worked... pulled out the fuse and for some reason now it works! really appreciate the help!

Good deal! Glad you're back in business. You can go to myacura.com and register and then you can store your radio code online if you want.

aimmaster

my radio stopped working today, I managed to get theCD out after turning the car off for while and I put a CD cleaner in and its working properly for now. I hope that was it.

Registering your code in www.myacura.com ensures you'll never loose it. I'd keep it there for safe keeping.
