Pls Help Activate Radio After Battery Replacement

Please help...my car is 06 6spd NAVI. After replacing the battery, the factory radio/navi unit prompted to enter the code, but did not specify which one. It seems that the radio has a separate Key Code from Navi......I have entered Navi code and the navi started working, however radio is dead. I had restarted the car but the code prompt never came back on again. What do I do?

look in the book that came with your car there should be a buisness sized card with the radio code on it.

if not you can goto the link below for the code.

my original question was misunderstood. The radio/navi unit did not prompt me to enter the code for the radio, not that I do not have the code.

I was prompted to enter the code, and the screen did not contain info which code needs to be entered. I'd entered NAVI code but how do I enter the radio code from here..when I turn the ignition on, there is no longer a prompt to enter a code....

you enter the radio code by using the 1-6 keys on the radio itself. if you go to turn on the radio, it'll say CODE on the display

wilsrx, I turn on the ignition, push the radio button, and there is nothing on display, really. The top display (the clock one) says CO.

Thanks for the info.

I tried that, but it seems I entered it wrongly, now I don't know how to recover from it. Whenever I hit the power button, it complaints about CODE ERROR! do you know how to come out from that situation?

Thanks again,

It's either:

1. In your owners manual on a business card, etc.
2. On the glovbox (inside, outside parts when you open it)

IF NONE OF THESE...

Call Acura


It's not prompting you b/c it's not supposed to for the radio code. I'm sure someone will chime in here shortly but I think the radio code is 5 digits and the Nav. code is 4. Could be the other way around though. You'll get it...

if its saying "CO" is because u need to push 2 more # keys from the 1-6 as mentioned above from the memory kets...Do not push more then that, its only so u can continue to spell CODE. Seems to be stuck at only 2 charaters "CO". Once u have the full word CODE...Make your further attempt to entering the code on the business card as mentioned above also. Good Luck... *I just did this myself this morning after picking up my car from the shop last night *

correction... its on a decal sticker card with other ID # and CODES. It was the very first one listed as SERIAL ANTI-THEFT CODE#... But then again, mine has no NAVI. But hope this guides you and others in the right direction to DIY

you gotta hold the 1 and 6 on the radio (not navi) at the same time and tap the on/off radio. it will give you a serial number which you can either call acura or the stealership and they will give you the code for free.
