2004 tl acura radio reset code - if number on glove box higher than preset numbers what do I do

What are you trying to reset, navigation, Radio? Both? In some previous models the codes are on the side of the glove box when you open it on a sticker. Mine was missing so I went online and requested a code with my vin number.

Radio theft protection page 372 owners manual
Your vehicle's audio system may disable itself if it is disconnected from electrical power for any reason. To make it work again, you must enter a specific five-digit code with the preset buttons. Because there are hundreds of number combinations possible from the five digits, making the system work without knowing the exact code is nearly impossible.

You should have received a radio code card that lists your audio system's code and serial numbers. {glove box find}
It is best to store this card in a safe place at home. In addition, youshould write the audio system's serial number in this owner's manual.

If you lose the card, you must obtain the code number from your dealer.
To do this, you will need the audio system's serial number.

If your vehicle's battery is disconnected or goes dead, or the radio
fuse is removed, the audio system will disable itself. If this happens,
you will see ''ENTER CODE'' in the frequency display (on the screen on models with navigation system) the next time you turn on the system.
Use the preset buttons to enter the five-digit code. The code is on the radio code card included in your owner's manual kit.
When it is entered correctly, the radio will start playing.

If you make a mistake entering the code, do not start over; complete the
five-digit sequence, then enter the correct code. You have 10 tries toenter the correct code.
If you are unsuccessful in 10 attempts, you
must then leave the system on for 1 hour before trying again.

The system will retain your AM and FM presets even if power is disconnected. {only on newer cars'

Probably need to see Acura dealer with serial number of radio unit and/or vehicle. If you search hidden corners of glove compartment, owners manual or console you may find the card with the number on it.

Look for the code on the outer left side of the glove box, top number is the code, the bottom number is the serial. Just saved you some time and money. Now if you could explain how to get the radio to prompt code entry instead of error. Tried removing fuse under the hood and disconnecting the battery terminal to prompt code entry, to no avail.

check the side of the glove box. my TL has it on the outside side panel as you look from the driver side. my honda prelude had the code there as well. hope this helps

it's the top number on the sticker on the inside of the glove box.

just had this happen to me, you need to find the radio serial number, if you bought from a dealer then they should have put the number on the glove box plastic frame inside the glove box. If it is not there nor in your manual then you will have to take it in and get your radio taken out to see the serial number on the back of the actual radio. Once you find the serial number you can call any Acura dealer and give them the radio serial number and they will give you the 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????

Your navigation code and radio codes writed on stikers on glovebox. Just open your glovebox and look on left side of gloivebox, not inside but outside. Open glovebox and look on left side. On my 2005 Acura RL NAV and Radio codes is different but it both on glove box. Sometime you even need to remove your glovebox cover to see those codes.
