hey guys,

i am a second owner of Acura Tl 2005,
i have no idea where is the previous owner
because i bought the car from an auction.
there is no manual so i don't know what
is the code to activate the radio..
can anyone tell me how can i get the code
or if i have to go to acura dealership with the
car to get the codes???

 

Check the side of the glovebox. There might be a decal in there with the code on it on the outside of the box itself that you can see from the driver side when you open the door up. Mine has one there anyway for the radio or nav....not sure which. In mine...I need two codes....one for nav and one for radio....one of them is there and the other is not. Dont remember which.

 

This is just a guess to help you out, but in my car I had the little card that had both numbers on it. But I noticed one day when I opened my glove box, their were two stickers on the side of it, 1 was the radio code 1 was the nav code. looked identical to the stickers on the card. Not sure if that was a mistake by the technicians and forgot to remove them or if all of them are their. Mine is also an 08 so who knows, but its worth a shot !! It's free

 

if u dont have the code the dealerships do.

 

lol, you beat me to it. When I started typing their were no responses

 

thanx guys,
that really helps- good to have u here

 

If the car is officially registered under you, you can go to the following site with your vin, name, phone number.

https://radio-navicode.acura.com/

 

And for the owner's and nav manuals, they are linked through the 3G Garage, to https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/...01_OMANUAL.asp

Welcome to AZ!

 

or call Acura directly at (800) 382-2238...

i had to last week and he walked me through the whole (5 minute) process while sitting in my car...

 

some years can get the code from the radio with a special button pushing order
Others will look inside the covers for fuesblocks- like under the hood for a 4 and 5 digit codes. Or hand written on side of glovebox door
Sometimes the dealer has them in the computer- dont count on it
Sometimes the radio must be removed to get serial number of it so dealer can look it up for you- plan on paying someone to remove the radio for you

Whats up with this car anyway- a damaged frame member and no radio codes?
guess the battery went dead from sitting for months ?

 

How would I register car under myself??

 

Go to an Acura Dealership, with registration, vehicle, insurance, drivers license

thats acura ownerlink registration- need your VIN

and call 1-800-382-2238x5 tell them you are the new owner and give the VIN number of the car. They can tell you of any open recalls or extended warranties on the car, plus you are the person they contact if any future recalls

 

well..i bought this car from an auction..
it' been in an accident but it doesn't look that bad
it was hit in the front from the driver side..
the car is in the body shop getting ready to be fix..
but when i wanted to turn the radio on it said that
i need to enter some pin #

anyway..is Acura a good car?
do u have any problems with it?

 

see thread titled tranny failure- thats our big problem
Is your car salvage title? or just accident and fixed, but clear title still?
The rest of the car is awesome with little needed beyond basic maitenance until 100k miles- then its $1000 for major service- water pump, timing belt, valve adjustment etc.
the radio security kicks in when battery dead- thinks its been stolen until security code entered
