Ok guys, I really need some help on this one. Any input is greatly appreciated!

There is a listing on Ebay for a used 02-03 OEM 6DISC CD PLAYER. The only thing that is stopping me from purchasing it is that the seller does not have the radio unlock code.

Does it matter? I've never tried putting another stock stereo on, would it require the unlock code still? So basically it is useless for me to buy it unless i can get the codes for it, correct?

I know I can't call Acura and ask them for the codes because I need the vehicle's VIN from which the stereo was uninstalled from...

 

I never heard that you need the VIN from which it was uninstalled from. Just say yours broke and you bought one from eBay. I see no issue as long as you own a TL and show up there with the radio and owners card and car showing you own it. But I'd call ahead of time and make sure your local dealer is cool with it..

And worse case you can pay $28 for the radio code here http://www.radio-code.com/Acura-Pay-Page-radio-code.htm

 

You do need the code in order for the radio to work.

I bought a used DVD navigation box for my TL and my local Acura dealer gave me the security code for free. They did require me to bring in the unit's serial number along with my registration.

You might just want to call your local dealer to see what their policy is.

 

I just bought a '02 TLS and I'm putting a Kenwood HU in there, so my 6-cd player will be available if you are interested from getting it from someone here.
Let me know..
