SOURCE: radio pin code

Try this:"disconnect the battey cables and touch them together for ten seconds. reconnect them. turn key to accessory or on. make sure radio is off. press and hold radio presets one and six. continue holding and turn on radio. it will display the serial number in two parts. for example "u1234" and "l4321". drop the u and l and you have the serial number. call the dealer with the number and they can look up the five digit code. you may have to prove ownership of the car though."

SOURCE: 2006 TSX lost radio when battery died - how to recode?

Sorry the only way to get the code is thru the dealer

you must provide proof of ownership.

I had the same problem when I had my battery replaced. I guess the mechanic tried to enter the code.... and after 10 tries he failed of course, and the system locked itself and gave the ERROR message.
All you need to do is leave the system on for an hour (Yes, leave it on... meaning you most likely need to drive around for an hour... and sit in the car for an hour doing nothing....) Then the ERROR message will change back to CODE (you will hear a long beep)
Now you can enter your code. Remember do it slowly. Enter the key 1 by 1... Do not input quickly, otherwise it will not work
Hope this helps!

SOURCE: TSX reset radio code didn't work

Same problem with a 2002 3.2 TL; was jus advised that when OnStar switched from analog to digital it causes memory dump; dealer says it requires "hard reset" which costs ?$?; Acura 800 number says disconnecting antenna may/may remedy.

go see a dealer service departement with vehicle registration at hand they will provide it to you free of charge
