i just bought a stock radio for the rsx and i need the radio code ..how will i be able to get this ? dealer?... the person i bought it from i deleted his pms .. stupid me i forgot to ask him ...
if u purchased the car new....you can retrieve it from the dealer you bought the car at.....ID, and registrations required
if you purchased the car used at an Acura dealer they may have it on file
If you purchased the car used at a non acura dealer, they prob wont have it on file but might
Finally, whether you purchased it wherever, you can pull out the radio, retrive the serial code off the back, and bring it to a dealer, and after verifying it is indeed your car, they will get the code for you
On a very rare occasion the code will be written on the back of the radio, this is not done at dealers....so dont plan on it
Its only easy, if u actually own the car and radio, dealers are supposed to require registration/title/proof of ownership
I don't know if this works, but it works for most Honda's..
Hold 1 + 6 while your key is turned to the ON position.. it'll beep and the serial number should show up ont he screen.. Works for 02+ Accords, 01+ Civics, and CRV's.. never tried on the RSX..
But if your radio isn't installed on the car yet.. you can give the dealer the serial number and they can get you the code..
i have no code anywhere, under glove box or hood no book nothing, so i had to change battery, and it says CODE, so i powered car off, and held 1 and 6 and then turned ignotion key to ON and then pushed powere on the deck while holding 1 and , and it popped a U1555L4196 code? is that the serial that would usually be at the back of the deck?
check the side of glove box when you open it up..there's a sticker with the number on the side of mine.... (open glove box and it should be on the left outside wall of the glove box) give it a try
just checked it, its not there, did cabin filter, checked under wheel fuse box area, under hood nothing, who ever had this car before me was a ........ would'a been nice if some one who was at acura to give me it right now haha U1555 L4196 haha!
Well found out today mine was locked called Honda dealer and they found it right away with the radio SN which can be found by pressing 1 and 6 while radio is off and it will display the U XXXX and L xxxx well at least that's what mine said..
