How to Enter Acura Radio Code

We all know how radio works, right? Not always. Let’s say you get in your Acura and the display on your radio says CODE. No, the radio stations in Manhasset haven’t vanished. You’re getting a message designed to protect your 2020 Acura TLX. This is one of many service indicators that come standard in Acura vehicles to take the guesswork out of problems. Here’s help on Acura radio code retrieval that’ll get you back on the road to Garden City in no time.

What is an Acura Radio Code?

Your Acura radio code is the key to a state of the art anti-theft device. If the radio is stolen out of your Acura, it won’t be usable. That’s because when an Acura radio is disconnected from the car’s electrical system it requires a special code to reactivate it. However, if something happens and your radio loses its connection to the electrical system – if the battery dies in Glen Cove, for instance – the radio will ask for the code to be entered. A unique code is assigned to each Acura and placed on the anti-theft identification card in your owner’s manual. The number should be kept in a secure place to protect your Acura.

How to Get Acura Radio Code

When you need to enter your Acura radio code, here’s what to do:

• On the anti-theft identification card in your owner’s manual, you’ll see numbers listed in the lower right corner. The longer, bottom number is your Acura radio code.
• If you don’t have your manual, the radio code might be noted in your maintenance records, or on a sticker in the glove box, door jamb, or trunk.
• If the Acura radio code isn’t in any of these places, visit the Acura Radio Code retrieval website. You’ll need to enter your car’s VIN number and the radio’s serial number, along with identity verification. The code will then be emailed to you.
• When you have your code, use your radio’s station preset numbers to enter the code and unlock your audio system.
