It should be in your booklet that came with your users manual.

If not then call a acura dealer and im sure they can look it up.

The code for my radio in my Integra was on a sticker on the under side of the ashtray.

Not entirely true. You have to get the serial number off the actual head unit. When you have that, you can then go to your dealer and present proof of ownership to have them go onto the Honda/Acura iN and get the code. Many dealers will actually stick to the rules too, so to prevent someone from ripping off your head unit and getting the code.

Check the trunk hinge arm or whatever you call it. My 97 Integra had a sticker there.

You guys need to remember that when it comes to these little stickers with the codes, they're placed in random spots by the dealer. Not by the factory. The codes come on a card and then peel off. Where and if the dealers place them is random. Like I said before, just pull out the head unit, get the serial number off there, and go to the dealer with your insurance card (or any other proof of ownership) in hand. It takes 2 minutes to pull up the code.

Not necessarily. When I bought my Accord, the stickers come on a sheet and instruct you (instead of the dealership) to place them in an "inconspicuous location" and it suggests places to put them. Although there's already one sticker somewhere just in case you forget to place the stickers.

Although I guess some dealerships do this as part of PDI.

My old 1st gen TL had it on the inside of the fuse box.
