The security code renders the unit useless to a thief. You should have no problem removing it.

Yes it is, the security feature on the radio is just for the radio itself. You may also be able to find a used factory CD stereo for the car fairly cheap on ebay.

This is the three ways to get a radio code. Only one is available to you unless you can get a local Acura dealer to cooperate.

Acura 2000 radio unlock code

You have to do this: If you have jumped or replaced the battery at anytime this will happen. You have to get the serial number off the radio by removing it or partially taking it out to see the numbers on it try not to remove any cords. With the stereo out (to make sure you get the right number off of it) call an Acura dealership with the number and they will give you the another number to enter into the stereo and directions on how to punch the numbers in. Make sure while you have the stereo out you write the serial number down and keep it in a safe place also the number that the Acura dealership gives you because if you sell the car or if it happens again its easily accessible. Good Luck!
