- Mon Nov 23, 2009 5:06 am #157935 Turn the key into the ON position. Don't start the engine though (although I'm not sure if it matters).
Turn the radio on.
Enter the code.
Set your radio stations.
You're done.

If its an OEM Radio, you should have a card with the code written on it, Or a Sticker in the glove box. Thats how my '01 Integra is.

If you don't have that card or sticker this is how you get the code:

You will need the Radio's Serial Number, Here how you get it:
1) Turn Ignition to On
2) Turn on the Radio, It will read "Code" if it doesn't pull the back up fuse(7.5amp) out for 30-60seconds then put it back in
3)Turn Radio Off
4)Press and Hold Preset Buttons 1 and 6 while turning the radio back on.The display will toggle between two screens, the first showing a U and the first digits of the serial number, (U4567 for example) the Second Screen will show an L and the last 4 digits of the serial number, Ignore the letters and write down the serial number.

Now you call up a Honda/Acura dealer and you give them the code and who the car is registered to make sure you didn't steal the car/Radio. Then they will give you your code.

Now return to your car and follow steps 1 and 2 again and put in the code with the preset buttons, The Radio will beep upon success.

Good Luck.

Edit:
I got beat to the punch.

i read somewhere after 5 tries it shuts down so i reset th battery just in case and tried it again
