I have a 98 Acura 3.2TL and my unlock code for my radio suddenly does not work. The message that is on my display is "C0deE.E". Nothing happens when I key in my unlock code. Could anyone help? My singing is starting to annoy everyone. LOL! Thanks bunches to anyone that can help.

 

That happened to me a while back... I had to disconnect the battery cable and touch the posi and neg leads together for about 10 minutes and then reconnect them to get my radio to accept the code.

 

Just happened to me. Check the white sticker inside the glove box. it should give you the code to type in or call the dealer.

hope it helps

 

Did connecting the posi and neg leads work? I'm having the same issue and was told to touch them together. It didn't work, but maybe I should have connected them longer.

 

I had the exact same problem and managed to fix it:

There is a glitch in a LOT of these Bose systems where they will not accept your legit unlock cod unless you are in radio silence. Trust me, I tried entering my code 16 times to no avail, until I read on some other forums to try to disconnect the antenna, and if that doesn't work, go to an underground parking garage and try the code. I was pretty skeptical and have never heard of anything like it before, but I called Acura on the phone and they even suggested that I try it.

I couldn't find an underground parking garage anywhere in my city, but I did find a tunnel with low traffic. I drove to the middle of the tunnel (about equidistant from both exits), punched in the same code that I tried 15 times before, and IT WORKED! It beeped and the whole system lit up and came to life.

I have a 2002 TL Type-S. I also disconnected the antenna (pop off the little plastic cover at the top of the interior of the rear windshield, disconnect the leads), but this still wasn't enough until I went in the tunnel. Try it and let me know how it works.
