also lists your audio serial number. It
is best to store the card in a saf e

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
f ive-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in ten attempts, youmust then leave the system on for
one hour bef ore trying again.
The system will retain your AM and
FM presets even if power is
disconnected.
If you have a My Acura account, it is
easy to retrieve the anti-theft code
online without having to access the
serial number.
We recommend that you register the
security code at My Acura (myacura.
com). If you lose the Anti-thef t
Identification Card before
registering the code at My Acura,
you must obtain the code f rom your
dealer or

audio system’s serial number. If you
do not have the serial number with
