I wish i had read this earlier. After pulling the radio for the s/n, thats when i noticed the s/n under the passenger side trim. Anyways i found out why the rear ac/heat vent wasn't working, some idiot didn't reconnect it.

Can anyone give me the radio code for my 1999 tl radio s/n: B80713842. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Secondly, i think somethings wrong with the tranny. When i shift into reverse, there is noticable a loud "clack" noise. Besides that it runs fine. Should i be concerned?

 

I just fixed the same problem today. You will have to contact an Acura Dealer, The one of 8 that i called which was the only one willing to help, was Acura of Rochester NY, (585) 385-5544. Okay, Get the dealer on the phone, turn your car on, Hold down the 1 and 6 preset radio buttons, a series of numbers will appear, the first w/ a U in front of them and the second set w/ an L in front of them. If you give the dealer those numbers they will Give your the code. Other dealers will try to tell you to remove the radio, or charge you $100 or more to do this. GOOD LUCK!

 

My Acura 3.2TL battery went out and the radio has a security code. I took your advice and pulled off the trim. I found the Serial # B81024983. Let me know if you can help. Very much appreciated!

 

I dont have my radio code for my 2003 acura tl the serial number is B81551RD0380 if anyone can help me i appreciate it thank you!!

When I enter this into the radio code website it say does not match the VIN.
So how can we get this radio working?

QUOTE=hondatech;1679352]Sorry no "overide code" that I know. Do this, open the center console cubby hole cover and pull up the pass. side trim strip, It should be like the woodgrain strip or like a fake carbon fiber grey( there are two on each side of the center console). Gently pry up on the side closest to the cover of the storage area of the center console with the cover open of course. Once you get the edge to pop up a little, gently pull the whole piece up carefully. It should come off the dash at the bottom of the climate control unit or navi unit if you have it. This move will expose the side of the radio on the pass. side. There should be a little white sticker with black letters and numbers indicating the radio's serial number. Copy them down and post them on this thread. I will PM you the code. This trick avoids the radio being pulled out but only works on the newer TL's and CL's.[/QUOTE]
