Battery died!... help..

woke up this morning at 6:20 am, got in my car, and found out the car didnt start...

After jump starting it I realized i need a new battery. Its an old battery anyway and it was time for a new one.

but here is my problem, and I was hoping for some help..

I ordered a new battery and gonna pick it up today, but the problem is that the minute i disconnect the + and - to replace the battery, the head unit will lock up and i would require the 6 digit code to unlock it.

I dont have that code ...

and i dont have the drivers manual either..dont have a clue where i put it. how can i get my hands on one? any help is appreciated it.

cheers..

The code should be on the side of the glove compartment

Call any Acura dealer and give them the serial # off of the radio. This is gotten by holding down the 1 & 6 preset buttons at the sametime on the radio. The dealer might also want your VIN # as well.

Another reason to register your TL at www.myacura.com and save the Navi and Radio codes there.
