If your vehicle’s battery is disconnected
or goes dead, the audio system
disables itself. If this happens, you will
see‘‘ENTER CODE’’in the frequency
display next time you turn on the
system. Use the preset buttons (Icons
on models with navigation system) to
enter the five-digit code. The code is on
the Anti-theft Identification Card
included in your owner’s manual kit.
When it is entered correctly, the radio
will start playing.
The Anti-theft Identification Card also
lists your audio serial number. It is best
to store the 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 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 one hour
before trying again.The system will retain your AM and
FM presets even if power is
disconnected.
NOTE:
If you have a My Acura account, it is
easy to retrieve the anti-theft code
online without having to access the
serial number.
U.S. ownersWe recommend that you register the
security code at My Acura (myacura.
com.) If you lose the Anti-theft
Identification Card before registering
the code at My Acura, you must obtain
the code from your dealer or

radionavicode.acura.com/
. To do this,
you will need the audio system’s serial
number. If you do not have the serial
number with you, ask your dealer or go
to
https://radionavicode.acura.com/
for
information on how to retrieve it.
