Hi there,

I just bought my son a used 1996 Acura Integra SE last nite and the radio needs a code in order to turn it on! do you need the serial or vin number?

Please let me know.

Thank you.

 

Usually the dealer is able to get the code for you if you show them the VIN with proof of ownership (insurance card)...there is a website that pulls the code but you would need to have so much info from the registered owner in their database that it makes it hard.

 

some times dealerships will make you pull out the radio and give them the serial number. Dont forget, write it down when you get it

 

If the car came with the owner's manual, check the back, sometimes people write their codes there. I also heard that sometimes there is a sticker in the glove box with the code on it...

 

usually the code is on the side of the glove box. thats where it was on mine. open the glove box and look on the outside left side and there should be a sticker that has your code on it.

 

yesss good place to look. I always write the code in the owners manual after i get it for the customers.

 

Hello I just bought my son a 1996 Acura Integra SE. The radio has a code on it which will not allow it to come on. I believe you have decode the radio and the VIN#JH4DC4464TS010536. The number on the radio is: AJ52512211. Can you help us out to decode the radio so it will come on.

Thank you.

 

Most of the time it is written in the glove box, owners manual, or on the stereo itself. Anytime the batt cables are removed it will need to be changed. If no one has written it anywhere I believe the dealer can get it for you. Call up the local acura dealer and give then the car vin and stereo vin

 

check in under the hood where the fuse are mine was there

 

The dealer can get you the code, in most cases you will need to go to the dealer, [service dept.] with proof of ownership, have the HU pulled so serial # can be seen, try the number before you leave the dealership, it only takes the service dept. a few sec. to get the code so there should be no charge. 94

 

Great! thank you! my son is on his way to the dealership right now and they did indicate over the phone there would be no charge.

Again, thank you!

 

Take a paint pen or some sort of easy to see hard to erase marker and write the number in the glove box on the plastic. That way ya always have it

 

might be too late now, but sometimes the code is on a sticker found on the underside of the ash tray.
