check in your glove box...the code is there. its not hard to take out the radio and call the acura dealer to get the code. all you do is read them the seriel number. i got an integra cd player from my friend and put it in my accord and i called the acura dealer and they gave me the code and thats it....free! they also told me that the code is inside the glove box but that wasnt the radio for my car so it wouldnt have worked.
