I own a '94 integra and I didnt get the manual or theft code with the car. I took apart the console and got the serial number and some 5 digit number that was after the letters NL (same # of digits as the theft code) off of the cd player. The dealer who sold me the car said that b4 he sold it, he called the acura dealer with the numbers off the cd player and they told him the theft code. I tried this and they said they couldnt do it over the phone. I plan on taking it in but it's a loong *** drive so i was wondering if the code was hidden in the numbers i pulled off the player or if i can call acura directly or something. Basically, all i did was save $85 they were gonna charge me unless they pull some **** again and say they have to take it apart anyway.
Anyway, this experience has completely pissed me off and any help would be appreciated.

That sucks man they should of gave you the code. Why don't you try calling and say that you work for a caraudio shop and need the code for a factory radio.

 

hey dude just got to the dealer and problem fix..............
my boy in his legend ran into almost the same problem.
he went to the dealer and voila..........problem fix.

 

yeah, that's what i ended up doing. the first guy i talked to was giving me b.s. about needing to set an appointment later in the week. when i told one of my friends about needing an appointment, he got pissed, called dealer, and we got the code later that day. hmmm... first guy i talked to musta thought he was the all might Acura God!

 

call american honda and tell them the problem, they will ask for serial number on player and ur done. don't even have to leave the house.

 

I was able to get the Stereo code over the phone from the local acura dealer. all they needed was the VIN and the Stereo Serial Number. Really, if you think about it, that's a big security risk. They should make you go to the dealer to get it. Sorta defeats the purpose of the code if ya know what i mean.
