Forgotton Stereo Code

Guys,

I forgot my stereo code and was wondering how much dealerships charge to look it up?

I haven't taken out the stereo out to look at the serial no but a buddy old me that turning on the stereo while holding down #1 and #6 gives you a 8 digit code that the dealership can use to look up the security code.... is that right?

Thanks.

if u hold down 1 and 6 you will get two codes. write them down, write down your vin number then call acura. they should give the code to you. if not say that u work in a shop and changed the battery and didnt know that the radio has a security code.

well since it's here might as well.

the 1-6 hold only works with newer radios. i forget the years but if it doesnt show up, remove the passenger side fake wood trim that runs alongside your radio. when it's removed, look at the radio from the passenger side where the wood trim would normally cover up, there should be a sticker containing your serial number.

you can then call the dealership and if you're lucky they'll give it to you over the phone. i've done that twice, took 2 mins and costed me nothing.

if they think that you stole the radio then you're gonna have to bring your car in.

and as a final note, use the search function. at the top of the page. it gives you results without cluttering up the website, making future searches slow and way too damn numerous to be of help to anyone

i fixed my navi with paul mooney on a sunday when my acura was closed.. so i called the acura help line.. fought with them for 2 hours because the owner of the car info wasnt updated on their end and they REFUSED to give me the security code.

i got an apology letter in the mail and a complaint form to fill out on the rep that talked to me on the phone. but im not much for getting people fired. he was just a douchebag.

i called my dealer on monday and a RECEPTIONIST was able to give me the code in the matter of 2 min. she didnt even work in service!
