On the TL - 5 digit code for the radio; 4 for navi; numbers are typically on a sticker on the side of the glovebox (nearest radio) or rear truck arm (great security acura?). Need to unplug the antenna and then put in the code, reconnect the antenna and your back in business. search the net to learn how to access the back of the radio. typically needed after power is lost to the vehicle, new battery installed, etc.

SOURCE: 2004 Acura TL anti-thief radio code

You need to call the dealer, I had same problem. Now Honda
replaced my battery and I need the CODE for my NAVi!

Dealer where I bought doesn't have the code, nor does customer service.
Also no one has the SN....they say I have to pay to remove the Navi - Radio from the dash to fine the SN!......needless to say I'm NOT a happy camper!!!!..... All I need is the SN from the unit and then Acura will supply the Navi code.

Any suggestions anyone????

SOURCE: My car battery dies for @ two hours i jumped it and then the radio wont work and is flashing code. i read manuel and did what it instructed for entering code provided with car and it still wont work w

Try the code again. Turn car key on. Turn radio on. Enter the 6 digit code, using the numbers on the preset channel button. It might take more than one time, if you entered the code wrong the first time. I entered it wrong the first time, took a few tries to unlock with correct code. Did it again today with the right code, and it worked the first time I entered it.

You need to disconnect your radio antenna first. In the back seat where the top of the rear window meets the roof there is a little plastic cover. Slide the cover back and unplug the connector. Now enter the code and the radio will work. Go back and reconnect the plug.

Once i get my codes for my 2033 acural tl, how

Code is in numbers. Look at preset buttons on the radio. They are numbered 1-6. Turn on car key, enter code #'s on preset buttons. This must be done 5 or 6 times in a row, till the radio unlocks. This is for anit-theft purposes.

Same exact thing is happening

Check the fuse and relay to the power window, as for the radio if it does not take any more codes, just disconnect the battery for 1 min and the radio should reset it self for you to try to enter the right code. If you don't have the code to the radio go to www.radio-code.com and they should be able to help you get your radio working again. Good luck and keep em posted.
