Sup Honda-tech,

Well i have this problem on my 00 teg, my radio is locked because my car battery was unplugged. I bought the car used and do not have the anti-theft code, or know what dealer he bought the car from. Its been two years, and lost his contacts. I have tried looking around the glove compartment, center consol etc, but there is not codes. I called Acura and they told me to bring the car in and they will give me the code, for $150.00.... So if you work at Acura and dont mind helping me out, i can give you the serial and VIN through a PM.

Thanks!

 

just call an acura dealership in another city. i used to call cerrano in california. last time i called some dealer in denver. just get on the blower and call service departments until you find one that will give it to you over the phone. you need to get the number off your radio though. sometimes you can read it by laying in the passenger seat floor. sometimes you have to pull the unit.

the sticker might be under your ash tray, in the glove box or in the owner's manual.

edit: the important thing is to write your code down after you get it.

 

This is true! Some people that work at Acura/Honda are nice and some are bitches (it should be free)!

Just call around.

 

Thanks guy, a buddy knows some dude that works at Honda, he said he'll give me the code if i can provide the serial. If he cant, ill call around for sure, never though of it lol

 

if you give me the serial# i can get it for you.

 

just call your local dealership

 

the dealership will give it to u for free, but it has to be a acura dealership, I worked at a honda dealership and we always had to contact acura of brookfield

 

r710 - Do you work at a Acura dealer? I will PM you the serial once i get it. I cant get the two screws out from underneath the radio, i need an extended socket wrench..

98 - Really? Cause some guy on another forum said he could get it. He works at a Honda dealer..

 

MMM idk about that one...i called my honda dealershipp and they gave it to me in about 30 seconds.

 

I have the same problem for my 2000 TL. I changed the battery and now the radio does not work. I found what I think is the ser #. It is B91071162. Can you please help.

 

Some owners write it in their owners manual. Look in the index under 'R' as in radio. It might be written in the index. Or on the instruction page for entering the radio code.
It will be 5 numbers and no letters.

good luck.

 

Go to a Best Buy, I used to work for Circuit City I can unlock Delco radio, in a GM, so im sure they have it on file oh how to unlock your radio, its a code only for your radio so someone else with your radio wont have the same code as you. This is how you unlock a Delco radio might be the same never know.

DELCO THEFTLOCK RADIO UNLOCK CODE:
1. Press and hold presets 2 and 3 for about 5 to 10 seconds until you
get 3 digits on your display. This is the first 3 of 6 digits you will
need, so write 'em down.
2. After doing step one and writing down the code, immediately press
the
AM/FM button to get the last 3 of the 6 numbers you'll need, and write
'em down. (if you wait too long between steps 1 and 2 and the LOC code
displays again, just start over).
3. Call this number, it's a prerecorded message, so don't worry about
having to talk to anyone...1-800-537-5140. The voice will ask if
you're calling for Chevy, Pontiac, Cadillac, etc...
When you here him tell you
to press "2" for Pontiac, press 206010 and hit the # key. He'll ask
you
for the 6 digit code that you've written down. Enter that and press
the
* key. He will then give you a code, and the option to get additional
4 digit codes, but one should be sufficient.
4. Follow the normal procedure in your owners manual for unlocking the
radio with your new code...press the hour set button on your radio
until
you get the first two numbers of the code, then press the minute set
button until you've entered the last two numbers. Immediately press
the
AM/FM button once the correct code is entered and the code SEC or
"secured" will be displayed on the display screen. Now, just turn the
radio on, and your ready to roll.
