How to Reset ERROR E:
- Disconnect the battery from your vehicle for about 10-15 minutes
- Reconnect the battery
- The display will return to "CODE"
- You now have 10 new attempts to enter the correct code
Alternative: Leave the radio OFF for 1 hour to auto-reset

How to Get Acura Radio Code?
If your radio security code is missing, you have a few options.
Dealer Option (Slow, VIN Required, With Paperwork)
One way to get it is by contacting a dealer, car manufacturer, or authorized service center.
They typically ask for your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), proof of ownership and car documents, and sometimes even a registration certificate.
The process is frequently inconvenient.
Some charge a fee (which can be expensive), while others offer it for free - but it can take hours or days.
Response times and fees depend on the brand and location.
Useful for verification, but not the most time-efficient route.

How to Find the Serial Number (S/N) on Your Acura
By Removing the Radio (Most Common Method)
For most vehicles, the serial number is printed on a tag attached to the back of the unit.
To access it, you'll need to gently pull the radio from the dash using standard removal keys.
- The correct code is typically near a barcode
- The serial is usually 8-14 characters long and preceded by a brand-specific prefix like "T00AM," "TM," "M," "V," or "CL"
- Avoid confusing it with the part number - only serial can be used for code generation
If your display shows nothing, this is the fallback method.
Serial Number on Screen (U#### L####)
How to Display Serial (Buttons 1+6)
On the Screen (Without Unit Removal)
Some touchscreen-equipped radios allow you to get the S/N via a button combination.
- Try holding "INFO" + "MENU" while turning on the radio
- The serial number will flash briefly on screen
- The combo of buttons for every radio is different.
This works only in some cases.
The Difference Between the Serial Number (S/N) and Part Number (P/N)
The Serial Number (S/N):
- This is the unit-specific code assigned to your specific radio.
- It's the only input used by our lookup system.
- Usually found starting with a brand-specific prefix like "M," "V," or "CL".
The Part Number:
- This refers to the model type of the unit.
- It's used by manufacturers for inventory, but irrelevant for unlocking your stereo.
- May look similar but doesn't link to your specific code.
How to Enter the Security Code
Entering the code into your radio takes just a few steps.
The unit will request the unlock code on power-up.
Use the radio preset buttons or numbered keys to select the numbers.
Some models auto-confirm on final digit - such as pressing "OK," "Enter," or "5" to confirm or holding "Seek", "Tune" or the preset key.
Be careful not to enter the wrong code multiple times.
After 3-10 wrong attempts, some radios trigger a lockout timer or require a long wait.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Anti-Theft Code and Why You Need It?
A radio, an anti-theft or a security code is a PIN-style security code used to restore access to your original head unit.
Manufacturers use it to deter theft by requiring the code after power loss.
When Does Acura Radio Ask for a Code?
- You recently changed or disconnected the battery
- You changed your car stereo or moved it between vehicles
- A blown fuse caused the radio to reset
- The car was jump-started or lost power
- Radio was reset to factory settings
- Service work affected radio power
- Too many failed code entries triggered a lockout
- A previous owner didn't supply the radio code
- Long periods of disuse can trigger code prompts
Does Acura cars Require a Security PIN?
Yes, all Acura vehicles with factory-installed radios require a radio code after battery disconnection or radio replacement. This applies to all models including MDX, RDX, TLX, TL, TSX, ILX, RLX, NSX, and Integra.
The anti-theft feature is standard on all Acura models. Your 4-digit or 5-digit code is permanently linked to your radio's unique serial number. Acura radios use the same system as Honda.
Finding a Stored or Printed Radio Code
Start by inspecting the vehicle handbook. The code is occasionally found on a small card or written directly on a page.
You can also search the glovebox or trunk, where dealers or previous owners may have stored a sticker with the code. Some also search for it behind trim pieces or inside the fuse box.
If you have the original factory-issued code slip, that's the simplest place to find the code - it usually includes both the serial number and unlock key.
Can You Get Free Acura Radio Code?
There are a few options - but they aren't guaranteed.
- Look inside the glovebox or vehicle documents - some vehicles came with the code printed at delivery.
- Contact your dealership - some offer free code retrieval if you're the original owner and can provide VIN.
- Some online communities share generic code info, but you risk using incorrect or locked codes.
- If none of these work, our service is the fastest and most accurate option.
