Your vehicle’s audio system will
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 in the
preset buttons. Because there are
hundreds of number combinations
possible from five digits, making the
system work without knowing the
exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card that
lists your audio system code number
and serial number. It is best to store
this card in a safe place at home. In
addition, you should write the audio
system’s serial number in this
Owner’s Manual.
If you should happen to lose the card,
you must obtain the code number
from an Acura dealer. To do this,
you will need the system’s serial
number.
If your vehicle’s battery is discon-
nected or goes dead, the audio
system will disable itself. If this
happens, you will see ‘‘CODE’’ in the
frequency display the next time you
turn on the system. Use the preset
buttons to enter the five-digit code.
The code is located 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 ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for 1
hour before trying again.
If the code card is lost, an Acura
dealer can access your code with
your radio’s serial number. To
access the serial number, turn the
radio on. It must display ‘‘CODE’’,
then turn the radio off. Push the
preset 1, preset 6, and power buttons
at the same time, then quickly
release. The serial number will
appear in two sets of four digits.
You will have to store your favorite
XM stations in the preset buttons
after the system begins working.
Your original setting were lost when
the power was disconnected.
