Mystery that needs solving
Alright so I have a doosie, first cold day of the winter season hit and as I'm leaving my exam I come back to a car that won't start. The battery died which was strange considering I hadn't left any lights on and whatnot...made me think of a couple instances where the car had a little difficulty starting...bought the car used I'm guessing its just time for a new battery...BUT HERE IS THE KICKER...since I jumped the battery the car has been starting without hesitation but now my radio will not work! I can't throw my i-tape adapter in, CD's are also being rejected and I cannot turn the radio on or even see the display. Anytime I try to do something a red dot beside the load sign flashes and thats about it. Also not sure how related this is but I have no navi it says consult dealer when I start the car however this never affected my music...I NEED MY DAMN MUSIC, not that I don't love the sound of revvin my precious...WHO CAN HELP A BRUTHA OUT? not happy bout it

Make it so
Search is wonderful.
Input your radio code and it will work, I promise. Check your battery terminal connections, the problem is there. Tighten then, clean them up, etc. Otherwise you will be doing this all the time and your radio presets will reset.
This isn't that big of a deal. Just breathe easy, my friend.

Register yourself and your car on Acura's owner site and you can get your radio and Navi codes there. http://owners.acura.com

update for those who may be paying attention... apparently dealerships clear records every 3 or 4 years which explains why the original dealership couldn't find a record of my TL. So I go to my dealership explain I have the serial number and whatnot and they provided me with the radio code for free! So my radio is up and running but there is a new problem..I have my stereo capabilities again but no display on the nav screen it says downloading disc/software or whatever when I first turn on the car, and ends up staying as a greenish screen that says check disc. My disc is somewhat scratched but it still was able to provide the touchscreen and display...not sure what changed.. I'm going back tuesday to try a different disc if the same thing happens then I'm guessing its an electrical problem..any thoughts?
