Radio Theft Protection - Acura 2014 TL 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
390
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 an Acura Owners
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 Acura Owners
(myacura.com). If you lose the Anti-
theft Identification Card before
registering the code at Acura
Owners, you must obtain the code
from your dealer or
https://radio-
navicode.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://radio-navicode.acura.com/
for 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.
