Radio Theft Protection - Acura 2012 RL Owner's Manual

Radio Theft Protection

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 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
280
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. owners
We 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 https://radionavicode.acura.

audio system's serial number. If you
do not have the serial number with
you, ask your dealer or go to
radionavicode.acura.com/
information on how to retrieve it.
Canadian owners
If you lose the Anti-theft
Identification Card, you must obtain
the code from your dealer. 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 how to retrieve it.
Models with navigation system
You need to enter a separate code
for the navigation system to
reactivate. The Anti-theft Card also
lists the navigation system's security
code and serial number. Follow the
same procedure to retrieve the serial
number and obtain the code, and
read the navigation system manual
for details.
