Audio System Theft ProtectionThe audio system is disabled when it is disconnected from the power source, such as

Find the audio system’s security code and serial
number label in your owner’s manual kit.
We recommend that you write down the serial
number, but not the security code, in this owner’s
manual.
Do not store the label in your vehicle. If you lose the
label, you must first retrieve the serial number, and
then obtain the code.
You can find out about your serial number and
security code from a dealer.
You can register the security code at Acura Owners
(owners.acura.com.), and find information on how to
retrieve the serial number and obtain the code at
