well, when i got my car back from the shop, my stock 98 cd player was flashing "code". and i thought i remembered the code and started punching in numbers.

i did it three time and now it wond let me enter the code anymore. it now displays "Err-3"

i consulted my 96 car manual and it said that if you fail the code 3 time, you should leave it on for one hour and try again. my car originally came with a cassette player.

well i did that and it is still displaying Err-3. im assuming that for 98+ theres a different method to let me enter the code again?

can anyone with a 98 car manual look it up and tell me? thanks in advance.

 

disconnect your battery for a few mins.

 

time for an aftermarket headunit.

i thought about that but its too much of a hassel. there must be an easier way.

im not really of a sound guy so im fine with the stock one. plus, it loooks good already.

 

uh happen to me too i jus unplugged the stereo for a few minutes and plugged it back in. And you need the code off the car that that particular stereo came in

 

You're putting in the wrong security code, I believe if you just turn the radio on and off it'd let you re-enter the code, or unplug the harness in the back...either way if you don't have hte code call acura.

 

i do have the right code. it was just that when i got the car back from the shop, i thought i remembered the code so i punched in the code while on my drive back home.

 

So did you get it working now?

yea got it working. but i was hoping to know another way that i can reenter the code without unpluging the system or the battery..

 

well unpluging the battery is easy as poping yoru hood going to the bat and unpluging the neg terminal for like 5 seconds, its not that hard. Aside from that i dont think theres any other way. also you can just go to acura to try and get code, although my acura asked for my actual headunit so they could check. goodluck.

 

The only way i know how to do it is to unplug the radio in the back.

 

Normally if you push the **** to turn off the unit and push it again to turn on, you should be able to re-enter the code. You don't have to re-enter the code unless you unplug your battery, or unplug the harness on the back of the head-unitt
