I said get rid of your Radio and get an MP3 player, i got it installed for $240....

160 songs per cd... who needs a cd player?

I agree, junk that radio and get a new one, its not that much money and makes a world of difference. OEM decks suck...

I found my code under the fuse box in the engine bay. Have you checked to see if it's in there. Or check around the glove compartment.

My friend had it in the glove compartment. It might be because someone printed it, got it laminated and stuck it there, but it sure looks like factory.

Any ways, check to see if you see 5 digits. It should be 5 digits and you have to enter it twice.

For example; mine is 61615. I entered 6, 1, 6, 1, 5, 6, 1, 6, 1, 5 and then the clock showed up.

edit: there, that should be more accurate. I wrote it off of my head only. I double checked it.

that is 5 digits.

Just take your car and/or your radio to your local Acura dealership, show them your registration and license to prove the car is yours and they can look it up for you.

The factory does not put the radio code anywhere on the car...if people have it on their cars it is because it was a dealer installed thing and not every car, infact most will not have this.

every dealer in Tucson will charge me simply to have to find the radio code. I have tried places in Phoenix with the same result. I dont think I should have to pay to get a code since it is my radio, my car, and not my fault

I have a friend that is the assistant parts manager at my local Acura...if you feel comfortable to PM me your VIN I can see what he can do.

Are you sure though that they are not charging you to take the deck out of the car? I have always been able to get it from the VIN for free...as long as the radio was original to the car.

Problem solved
 
Sure enough, the dealer I bought my car from gave me the wrong ID card. Took the radio out, looked at the serial number on the back, called a dealer near my place now, they looked up the serial number and presto - it was associated with a different radio code. Put in that code, radio works fine now.

Thank you dealer in MN, for screwing up the easy task of handing out ID cards!
