Your vehicle's audio system may
disable itself if it is disconnected
from electrical power for any reason.
To make it work again, you must
enter a specific five-digit code with
the preset buttons. Because there are
hundreds of number combinations
possible from the five digits, making
the system work without knowing
the exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card that
lists your audio system code number
and serial number. It is best to store
this 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 lose the card, you must obtain
the code number from your dealer.
To do this, you will need the audio
system's serial number.NOTE:
In the U.S., if you have a My
Acura account, you can retrieve the
anti-theft code online.
If your vehicle's battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the audio
system will disable itself. If this
happens, you will see ‘‘ENTER
CODE ’’in the frequency display (on
the display on models with
navigation system) the next time you
turn on the system. Use the preset
buttons to enter the five-digit code.
The code is located on the radio code
card included in your owner's
manual kit. When it is entered
correctly, the radio will start playing.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
five-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have 10 tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in 10 attempts, you
must then leave the system on for 1
hour before trying again. The system will retain your AM and
FM presets even if power is
disconnected.Radio Theft Protection37409/10/28 17:15:37 10 ACURA ZDX KA KC New North America Own 50 31SZN600 enu

The security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables from
theft. The horn sounds and a
combination of headlights, position

indicator on the instrument panel
starts blinking immediately to show
you the system is setting itself.
Once the security system is set,
opening any door, the tailgate, or the
hood without using the key or the
remote transmitter/keyless access
remote, will cause it to alarm. It also
alarms if the audio unit is removed
from the dashboard or the wiring is
cut.The security system will not set if the
hood, tailgate, or any door is not fully
closed. If the system will not set,
check that the doors, the tailgate and
the hood are fully closed.
