Take it to ur local Acura dealership,i had to do the same

 

I need a code as well in my 01.

 

All of you need to take out your radio's and look for the serial numbers on the bottom of the radio. Thats the only way that Acura/Honda can find your code for you. If you dont want to take out your radio, youre SOL unless your car is 2001 and up.

 

The route of least resistance is securing help from a dealer IN PERSON and with the radio and/or vehicle. The purpose of these codes was theft protection. Any Honda or Acura dealer will be reluctant to give you the codes without some kind of proof that you are the legal owner of the equipment.

Thus, you will need to show either the serial number and/or VIN which they will use to research the correct codes.

Good luck!

 

Sometimes the codes are on a sticker inside the glove box stuck to one of the sides. In my '03 TL, they were on a sticker behind the trim next to the radio. The dealer verified these were the correct codes, free of charge. I gave them the VIN and proof that I owned the car and they looked them up in their computer system.
