You probably have to go to the dealer. Take the radio out, write down its serial number. When you go to the dealer be sure to have your registration, and they should give you the code.

I lost my code too a few weeks ago and got the code back from the dealership that sold me the car. It should be in their records already without the vin number being neccessary.

The only way to get the radio code is for you to give the serial # to your dealer. The VIN wont tell them the code. It really sucks cause we have to pull them back out if we replace it without writing down the code.

I sell Acuras. A lot of the time techs put the code around the car in different places. If would be a 2.5in. by .5in. white sticker with two numbers the serial # and radio code or just the serial #. Good places to look are on the side of the glove box, fuse panels, or tire well. By the way bitching doesn't help try asking politely. You get more bees with honey than vinager. 
good luck

Did you try all zeros or sevens, i had a volkswagon scirocco back in the day and that was a default in them. just guessing. Or go buy a real stereo and junk it.

no that's not right, someone on honda-acura.net just pulled the code out with VIN. the dealer should be able to do that. if they don't want to, just keep bitching about it until the do.

Unless someone at the selling dealership filed the radio code with the VIN in their DMS there is NO WAY to get the code from the VIN. I go through this everyday, I am parts manager at a Honda dealership. Bitch all you want, it won't happen.
