Default Radio code

I did a search and could not find anything on what I wanted to know. I heard that you can see the serial number without removing the radio, has anyone done it? And what exactly am I looking for? Is it a sticker?, is it imprinted?, is it numbers and letters?, What does it start with? Thanks (sorry for all the q's)

5 digit code...all you need to do is go to the dealer with your registration and they'll be able to pull it up for you.

The code is not on the radio...the code is to prevent thieves from taking the radio, why print it on the back of it then?

Follow what newgsrdriver said and they will search on your VIN for the code...but only if the radio is from your car and you are the owner.

The code is 5 digits and only uses the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6.

When you buy the car you get a card that has the code printed on it.

Then just bring your registration and license to the parts department at your local Acura dealership and they can look it up for you. Unless the radio is not the one that came with your car they can get it for you from the VIN. Otherwise there are two scres in the back you need to undo...prepare to be in uncomfortable and akward positions in both foot wells to get them out.

Thanks I'll go to my local stealership on my day off see in what way they can help me, and in what way they'll try to get my money.

PS: I know what you mean by being in akward positions. I was just looking real quickly at the back of the radio to try and see if I could see the serial code and It took me like 3 min to try getting up!
