HOW TO OBTAIN ACURA OR HONDA RADIO OR NAVIGATION SERIAL NUMBER WITH OUT TAKING IT TO THE DEALER.

[@a_romero]

Thank you! You saved me $110 dollars. No joke. I was able to get the serial number and from there, I called the dealership and they gave me the 4 digit code for free. Thank you!!

[@uda4real]

I don't know how to thank you. You've just saved me a lot of headache. THANK YOU SO MUCH! It worked for my 2008 Acura MDX. I got the serial number after following your instructions. The Diagnostic screen popped up after a few seconds. I had to go through several different options to find the serial. I never comment on youtube videos, but I had to make an exception today. You are the best George

[@melniksmotors]

Ur welcome. I do these videos for people like you. I just dont like how big name dealerships take advantage of people. I am glad i was able to help you.

[@solomonking5097]

uda4real Your the man bro 😂😉🖒..

[@66seecha]

uda4real hey! Can I tell me what option you click on? I get it to the diagnostic screen n don't know which option will show me 😭 I tried most of em no luck

[@brigirl13bs]

Man, thank you so much. We had alternator trouble, and had to replace it with the battery, and when we turned the tlx back on, the radio and navigation required 2 different codes! The dealer wanted 200 bucks just to get the serial number that I just didn't have. Thank you!

[@smileyfourteen]

Just to let you know this video was extremely helpful. Been having a hard time trying to figure out how to get the code for my 2008 Rdx. Seen the video and literally 10 minutes later had my navigation back on track. Thanks for your help.

I have an 06 Acura TL and none of these worked for me. If you open the glove box there's a 4 didgit pin enter that, then your navigation will come on but no radio. There will be a 5 digit PIN where you found the 4 digit code, enter that and BAM let there be sound! Thanks for the help!

[@erickcarrillo3273]

Didn't work for my 05 TL either, I've done this before with my other Hondas and always went thru perfectly, but not with the TL, any advice? Thank you!

[@melniksmotors]

All i can say is disconnect battery for 5 min or so. Let the sytem reset.

[@EtwBiz]

you have to hold the Menu and down arrow (zoom) at the same time first.

[@melniksmotors]

No problem i am glad it helped you.

[@Horizonlight]

Thank you George! I followed your instructions and I was able to get the serial # to input it into Acura website to get my codes. Thx again!

[@hnnyrn9647]

What was that website?

[@harrisonhendricks25]

on my 2007 Acura tl my navigation is working but when I press power and buttons 1 and 6 nothing happens do you know why?

[@melniksmotors]

If its working why are you pressing number 1 6 and power button?

[@harrisonhendricks25]

+George Melnik my audio isn't working

[@melniksmotors]

Is it asking you to enter code? When you hit power button?

[@harrisonhendricks25]

+George Melnik no it's not the nav comes on automatically every time I start the car but I have never seen code pop up on the display screen at the top

[@carlyletom301]

DUHH

[@swimbait1]

I can get the serial number but where do you enter it? On the radio or the nav screen?

[@Lavend3r_tears]

we have the codes but there is a pin I am assuming the previous owner put in .. we bought it used so is there a way to override that and reset the pin..the pin is like a personal pin i think they put in

[@jacknjill3000]

For my radio code, I have 4 numbers and a letter b. The scroll only lets you put 1 thru 6, so how do you put the letter b? Now I’m locked out bc since it’s only 6 numbers, I tried each number for the last number. The navigation was easy and I got that working. I’m planning to unplug the battery for 5 mins. to see if it’ll unlock. But I still have the letter b to figure out. I also tried not putting in the b and that didn’t work either. This is a pain in the butt and you should be able to change whatever, if you have the key.

[@jrcastro8658]

How did you obtain the navigation code i did all and cant get it !

Thanks for offering this help, George, but I just got a used 2015 RDX. There is no MENU button to get the nav serial #, and pushing 1 and 6 and PWR doesn't do anything when I try to get the radio serial #. Do your tricks not apply to recent models?

Thankssssss. Very helpful

[@javim9621]

I did wat u did in the vedio but my code is more the 4 numbers it wont work wich 4 numbers is it

[@inmyopinionwisdom4986]

George, do you know how to obtain the SERIAL NUMBER for a 2000 TL 3.2 Vehicle? I tried to retrieve it the way you suggested in the video, but I couldn't get the info (serial number). Back in 2000 the electronic (display) panel was quite different than the models of today (March 2019). When I purchased my vehicle from the dealership (back in 2000) I was given only ONE code on a sticker (it turns out this 5 digit code is "only" for the RADIO). It works, but several years ago I learned that I was supposed to have received a 4 digit code & Serial Number for my vehicle's Navigation System. However, I didn't receive a "separate" 4 digit code or serial number at the time of purchase for the Navigation System. I've searched through ALL my ORIGINAL paperwork and there isn't any information pertaining to the NAVIGATION (4 digit code or Serial Number). It may be a possibility that the dealer forgot to "include" the pertinent info card with my paperwork that day. I recall him being in a rush to close the deal because it was a banner year for Acura Sales in '2000 I.e. people were waiting to get their hands on the Acura TL (at that particular dealership). Since my battery didn't need replacing for about 3 yrs.-4yrs. (The Navigation code/Serial code NEVER came up) and since the 5-digit code that I received was working...it NEVER entered my mind that I would require another code to get the ve Navigation to work! OH, THE RUB! I took my vehicle to an Acura dealer for its routine maintenance check-up (according to the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual), but to my dismay, I learned that I would need another CODE to get the NAVIGATION to turn back on. I also learned that each year I would have to pay to get an "update" for the Navigation DVD! And the Navigation DVD is expensive...I believe Acura quoted me a "discounted" price of $199.00 (something like that). OUCH!!! So, I started using my portable GPS in the car, along with my mobile phone. It was FREE to use these items and it helped me stay within my household budget (there isn't a fee to "update" every year with these with portable GPS and mobile phone apps). :-D GETTING BACK TO THE POINT: When the Acura Service Tech. asked me for the CODE (I told him I never received the 4 digit code...only a five digit code. So, then he asked for the SERIAL NUMBER, which would allow him to retrieve my code)...I politely gave him my VIN. Number. He immediately let me know that these numbers were NOT the SAME thing! I explained to him that I never received a "serial number or code" for the Navigation System...and that I only received "ONE" five digit code (I learned that the five digit code was for the RADIO only). WHAT? I was so confused! :-O Then he continued to quote me outrageous prices to retrieve the serial number for my navigation system. The price was so expensive that I left the dealership feeling like I had been HAD! I.e. Until you offered advice on how to get the serial number in your KZbin TUTORIAL! I have owned this newly purchased vehicle since 2000...it is 19 yrs. young...it has about 68,000 miles on it (that reflects how often I drive). My friends call me a SUNDAY driver! lol The mileage is sort of low for 19 years because most of the time I go places with m husband in his vehicle; therefore, I didn't NEED to use the Acura a lot. PLUS, sometimes, I use public transportation, as well. Q: If you can tell me "HOW" to retrieve the code for "2000" Acura TL 3.2 I sure would appreciate it. I await your reply!

[@mystomachurts2005]

On my 09 mdx, my battery died, changetip it and now I need the code to use the rear camera. Any tips for that?

[@Guille_jqz]

[@treyscott8811]

Radio worked.. Navigation didn't pop up

[@lovepreetpannu283]

Bro open car trunk on right navigation dvd device you can find serial number on the back

[@guts1005]

For navi you press down menu and zoom down. Not map, menu and cancel. After that you go to navi ECU and at the bottom you got the serial code and give that to the person on the phone and they'll give you the 4 digit code for the navi. And for the radio you turn off the radio and press down 1,6 and power button for a few second and write down the 8 digit code that pops up where the radio usually is and give that to the person on the phone and you'll get a 5 digit code for it. And boom all done. All should be at no charge. DO NOT TAKE IT IN TO ACURA AND GET CHARGED. THIS IS ALL FREE and should be free.

For radio press and hold #1 and 6 write down serial number call honda parts dep give them that number and they will convert it to your code for navigation press and hold map menu and cancel it will bring up diagnostic screen go to unit info screen write down serial number and call dealer.

[@retrorich8351]

If you have a 2007 Acura TSX, and know the radio code, turn on the key, without the car running, press and hold the radio power button for about 10 seconds, until the display above the radio shows code, then turn the right knob of the radio, it will change the number on the display from 1 - 9, you will turn the know to the first number you want, then push the right button in just once, then turn the knob to the second number, push the knob in, then turn to the third number - push the right knob button in, do this for all five radio code numbers, after the last number is put in, the radio will work again. If you cannot find the radio code in the owners manual, you will find it on the side of the glove box after you open it, it's on a sticker stuck to the outside of the glove box. This video is no help whatsoever...but if you follow the steps I described, you will be set.
