radio code
as some of u know, i got in a wreck about two weeks ago w/ my car. Well, i just got it back today (WHEW, $4700 worth of damage to my front end and they didnt total it!) and everything works better than ever. Only one thing...my radio says it needs a code. It tells me to enter it. It's a stock acura radio that came w. the car, cept i am the second owner of the car. I don't have the manual to the car, and i have NO clue where to find this stupid code (i know it's for anti-theft reasons, but c'mon!) any ideas? i would really like to hear music in my car again...

I heard that it's asking for the code because it was disconnected from the battery. I think thatz bull$#itt. Now i dont steal radios, but if thatz the reason y itz asking me for the code, then what happens when i hafta replace the battery? I hafta disconnect the car from the current battery, and connect it to the new one. Will it ask for the code again? im not payin $40 extra for a new battery just because the radio was disconnected.

i had the same problem and went to te dealership and they looked around the inside of the car for a sticker that has that code on it. do this open yourglove box and on the left side outside of the glove box your should find the code. hope that helps.
