Hey everyone! I just bought a fantastic 2004 Acura TL with the 6 speed manual and navigation yesterday. The owner was great, and my mechanic confirmed the car's condition was perfect.

When I was gonna take the car for a drive out today, the radio system wouldn't work. The navigation started up fine, and I can input addresses and receive directions, but when I press AUDIO, CD, FM/AM, Sirius XM, and even the volume and tune knobs, nothing happens. No sound from the radio/audio system is coming as well (but navigation is still able to read directions out loud for me). The car still drives great, but I'm not sure what's going on.

I really hope nothing is seriously wrong with the car. What could it be? Any advice?

 

Needs a new radio unit likely. Or check the fuses

 

It was working completely fine yesterday... Is it just coincidence that the radio quit working today?

 

check fuse 5 & 7 if they're fine then try inserting them while the car is started that might fix your issue.

 

Just checked them, and they're fine.

Does the engine need to be on for the method you recommended?

 

So that didn't work... I also tried the technique of holding 1 and 6 and pressing power on the radio, which should work on Hondas.

I'm gonna see my mechanic tomorrow and see what he says. Hopefully it's just a little minor issue with wiring that he can fix. It'd suck to have to get a new radio

 

Fuse 32 wasn't working lol... The radio is fine now. Thanks for the fuse box suggestions everyone, it just wasn't 5 and 7 that were causing the issue!
