Acura Vigor GS radio

Hi,
Talking from Portugal.
I bought a 1992 Acura vigor gs, probably one of fews here because it was imported from Canada in 2000.
I started to clean it and prepare to start to change oils and resolve problems.
I've read some posts here about the radio and today I tryed to put the radio on.
It brings the radio with the light anti-theft always on. It's a original radio with 8 speakers and I have the radio code.
I take it off, I saw all wires joints and put it again on the car.
Taked out the fuse, in the fuse box on the engine compartment and near the foot and the light always stays on and don't let the radio starts.

Even without battery cables, without fuses for a long time, when I turn on, always shows the light anti-theft on and can't put the radio's code.
I saw that previous owner put a ignition cut dispositif. Can this be the cause?

Regards

Bumping this to the top to get some knowledgeable replies.

Welcome to AZ! If you were in the U.S., you could take the Vigor to an Acura dealer and they would reset the radio for you in such a way that you could enter the radio code. Given there is no Acura dealer anywhere in Europe, you could take it to a Honda dealer in Portugal and request the same.

For those in the US with this issue, https://radio-navicode.acura.com

I would try an Integra forum too, thinking those radios would similar but I could be wrong, good luck!

The Vigor GS radio was unique. It had a digital signal processor, you could change the sound staging and echo effects. It had four midrange, two 'twiddlers' mounted on the roof by the rear view mirror and two tweeters. The 1st gen Acura TL had a similar setup but no echo effects.

Strange that it still has constant power..
