Everytime i help people out, i guess punished somehow.

Anyway, some guy wanted me to boost him, did so.. guy before me didnt tighten the battery connections and it came loose, so it reset all the ****.

called the people at acura, they want me to come in and 'decrypt' my radio for $92, yeah sure... okay.. eat my *** with a spoon.

Anyway, i have one of those thigs on my glovebox, looks like some type of code..i remember my last teg had a card and had 9 characters underneath the PIN CODE, so it somehow must be related


97A502649 - VIN #jh4dc23131s800370

Well there ya go, PM white rocket your VIN and have him call the dealer.

 

DAMn it, I need it too! I actually created a thread a little back, and everyone was really helpful. Unfortunately, I swtiched batteries recently, and did not save my IM's. 97A501571 is mine. IM me if you can!

 

I have to call my chinese jigga allan at sauga acura.. maybe he will help me out :D

Thing is, i called dealers where i know it wasnt bought originally, gotta give the toronto deals a shout if allan cant pull thru.

 

PM slo97coupe. He helped me out.

 

I called my local dealer and gave them the VIN. They told me who the original selling dealer was when the car was new. I called them, who were local as well, and just gave them the VIN. I just said I bought the car and they gave me the pin right away.

Perhaps you'll need to find out who the original selling dealer was.

 

replied to your pm

Cool. I'll have to remember to jot down the VIN the next time I steal a car radio, so I can just do that to find out the anti-theft code.

BTW, the reason the dealer is asking $92 from you is that, instead of looking up the selling dealer and calling them, their plan is to spend an hour to remove the head unit, write down its serial number, re-install the head unit, and use the serial number to find out the anti-theft code. Obviously it involves more time than calling the selling dealer, but it's a more definite way of finding the code; not all dealers keep good records of codes for cars they've sold.

 

If you've ever had service work done at the Acura dealership, the radio code should be listed on top part of your work order/receipt.

Really???

Can anyone else with a recent receipt check this out?

 

I do see the radio and nav codes on many of the repair orders, but not always.

Only thing up top are a BAR & EPA number set and have no correlation with the radio code or serial number.

This post is EXACTLY right

 

when I bought my R, the guy told me that the radio code was attached on top of the unit.... I've been thinking about swapping decks, but I'd like to be able to put mine back in. So.... I know there is no way in hell I could find the original dealer. Would anyone mind telling me what the code looks like, so I can check to see if it's there before I unhook the thing?

It looks like a 5-digit code (ex. 33462) using the digits 1-6. If it's not there, write down your radio's serial number (like the previous two in this thread did). With that serial number, it is pretty easy to get the code. Once you have the radio out and know the code, most guys just write it on the top of the unit with a sharpee for future reference.

 

^

perhaps that is what mine has. I'm gonna pull it out today, and check.

 

the dealer i work for does not keep record of codes.

if anyone else needs a code, feel free to pm me. i'm a honda tech, and i was an acura tech for a while too.

You need the serial number off the back of the cd/radio unit. The radio code is not related to the vin of the car. On some Honda/Acura vehicles (dependent on make and year), the redio code is on a decal that's inside the glovebox. Basically, you have to take the unit out, get the serial number, then call the dealership parts department and request the code. A good dealership parts department should give it to you for free. Others will try to charge you for it, or tell you to bring your car in and let the service department do it. They'll charge you at least an hour labor if the latter is the case.

 

i just put the serial number on the database and it will come up.
in.honda.com hehe

 

Man, I just brought my headunit in to my local dealer and they had no problem telling me what the code was, haha.

 

I need a code for 2002 Honda EX, serial number 11361237. Can you help me??
