Radio Theft Protection - Acura 2010 RL Owner's Manual

Radio Theft Protection

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. 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 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 discon-
nected or goes dead, or the radio
fuse is removed, the audio system
will disable itself. If this happens,
you will see '' '' in the upper
display the next time you turn on the
system. Use the preset buttons to
enter the 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 10 tries to
enter the correct code.
If the code card is lost, your dealer
can access your code with your
radio's serial number. To access the
serial number, turn the radio on. It
must display '' '', then turn
the radio off. Push and hold the
preset 1 and preset 6 buttons, then

push the power/volume knob. The
serial number will appear in two sets
of four digits.
The system will retain your AM and
FM presets even if power is
disconnected.
