You have to remove the radio and get the serial number off the back of the Headunit and call the dealer and they can give you the security code.

SOMETIMES, the code is written somewhere in your manual or inside your glove compartment, but most of the time you will have to do the above. I found it out the hard way to.

After that I replaced the head unit all together.

Default How do I remove the head unit?

I have the same problem and am awaiting call back from my dealer. I'd love to just remove the head unit, but if it's anything beyond popping it out fairly easily, I am afraid to touch it. How do I remove the head unit to check the SN?

Thanks!

The trim pops off with a little effort. It is only held on with clips that kinda clamp on. Not too hard but you MUST be gentle. After all it is a Acura.
