no navi?

not really sure, mine popped up on the navi screen when i had to reset mine.

try disconnecting the battery, hooking it back up, and see if it pops up

okay? cool story....ah you get the point.

try again...
by disconnecting your batt.

myblack04tl

I do not have the navi, but when I turn on the radio I believe it says "code" and I enter in my code with the numbered radio buttons. It then beeps and turns on the radio.

mrconnecticut

it has navi.. i disconnected the battery and the navi code came up and it works but its just the radio code that won't come up

after disconnecting the batt. did you try turning on the radio?

mrconnecticut

i push the power button and it doesn't turn on.. the radio fuse is fine and i get no power to the radio. is there a fuse behind the radio?

i got the picture from ebay/google.

search for acura tl radio.
this picture shows no fuse.

mrconnecticut

so possibly fried?

SharksBreath

idk man that sounds unlikely.

what happened? you just started your car today and the radio didn't work?

have you done anything to your car recently?

mrconnecticut

i just got it back from the shop after getting the axles changed. they had to jump it to get it started and i left and the radio wasn't working. bought a new battery and put in the navi code but still no power to the radio. it was working perfect before i brought it to the shop.. and also my ipod touch was stolen and the owner found it but came up with a story that didn't make sense. also when i got the car back all the cd's that were in the radio were taken out

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

okay......Heres a hard one for you to grasp...

go back to the shop. they fuxored your shit

mrconnecticut

thats what im going to do.

Is the red led blinking? The radio has it own code separate from the the navi system.

mrconnecticut

yes the anti theft red light is blinking. i have both codes and i put the one for the navi in and it works but nothing comes up for the radio

Egad man, you've had a host of problems...OK, did this happen before or after the turn signal problems? Have you done any other mods or electrical work to the car?

I assume the fuse you checked was fuse #5 in the under dash fuse box. Did you pull the fuse out and inspect it?

And what kind of back street shop did you take it to where they rip off your stuff? (Of course, there's a lesson to be learned from this experience).

Edit: Pull fuse #7 for one minute and then put it back in. Turn on the radio and see if the display reads "COdE".

mrconnecticut

this happened before the turn signal problem.. the turn signal problem happened an hour ago after i put the headlights in. i haven't done any mods or touched anything electrical.

yes it was #5 (RADIO) and it wasn't blown but i still replaced it anyway.

i took it to a licensed shop in town

nfnsquared

OK, then pull fuse #7 for one minute, replace it, and then turn the radio on. You should get the "COdE" message now. (You'll also probably have to re-enter your Navi code as well).

mrconnecticut

still nothing. no power to the radio

nfnsquared

OK, check fuse #32. Sorry, I missed that one.

mrconnecticut

it's back at the shop i had it in. he took responsibility for it so he's attempting to fix it.. i also took out valuables just encase someone wants to take something

nfnsquared

Wow, so he has a guilty mind over this? Wonder what he knows about it? Well, that's good news I suppose. You might want to mention fuse 32 to him, although now I wonder if it's something more serious than a fuse (i.e. employee abuse)...Good luck, keep us updated.

kin12345

Did you get it to work? My radio does not show any code as well. Please keep me updated.

AcUrAfIeNd32

use the radio buttons 1-6 i believe...what ever your code may be use the numbers from the presets of the radio

DaGrub

you can get the radio code by holding the number 1 and 6 preset for the radio stations, 2 sets of numbers will come up on the dashboard (not the navigation), those numbers represent the serial number of your radio, you can take this number to an acura dealership and they can get you the codes or you can track it down online with your vin number as well to contact the original dealership that sold the car as they would have the radio/navi codes, once you get the code turn the radio on like you would normally and the dashboard will say "code", then put in the radio code using the presets

cali_04_tl

u dont have to take the radio out to find the serial # jus open the glove box and its on the side of the box facing the driver side....turn ur car on and jus enter the code it should b 5 or 6 #s
