TL: Radio locked/Code not working

Radio locked/Code not working
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.

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.
