Acura Radio Code

Has your radio stopped working and started flashing “code” after a recent battery disconnect? Don’t worry—you’re not alone, and the solution is simpler than you might think. Here’s how you can find your radio code and get back to enjoying your driving experience.

Why Does My Radio Require a Code?

Most modern vehicles, including those from Acura, are equipped with audio units that feature theft protection. If your vehicle’s audio system gets disconnected from its power source, such as during a battery replacement or disconnect, it will lock itself and require a unique security code to be reactivated.

This feature is designed to deter theft and provide added security for your audio system, but it can also be a bit inconvenient if you’re not familiar with how to retrieve the code.

Locate Your Radio Code

The good news is that every Acura vehicle comes with an anti-theft ID card that includes your unique radio code as well as the audio unit’s serial number. This card is usually placed in your glove compartment at the time of delivery, so that’s the first place to check.

Can’t find the card? No worries—we’ve got you covered.

How to Retrieve Your Radio Code Online

If the anti-theft ID card isn’t available, you can still retrieve your radio code online. Acura provides a simple and intuitive system to help you access this information. All you’ll need is your vehicle’s VIN and the serial number of your audio system.
