you might have to take the head unit out then give acura the numbers off the back if not take it in to acura and they can get it for you.

thnx l3gdkang/jdm-ka

I have got all the information from the unit (in trunk). its by alpine electronics.
P/N: 39540-SZ3-A810-M1
REF NO: BN1366A 0
SERIAL NO: B60610507 A


i went to acura dealership other day. the pulled up the code for anti theft system by the vin number of my car but it didnt work for me. then they called to the actual dealer who sold this car as new, but the didnt have any information because the car never been there so they deleted all the infromation. then they guy looked up with the serial number of the navi he got a different number but :( still didnt work at all.. i have no idea what to do with this. this is impossible that theres no solution for that.

you might have a differnt unit then what came with the car so your best bet would be to have the dealship do it for you. they shouldnt charge much.

well now i guess i need to pull out the unit from the trunk and see what is that. i got all the which was written on outside of the unit, but its possibility that it is different from inside??? that the last thing dealer guy told me ...

keep me posted and im trying to dig up somthing on my end for you.

sure i will..

Thanks L3GDKANG/JDM-KA

It's no problem. try calling acura of agusta in GA but im still gonna try to get more info for you.

i got this so far for youi hope it works but im still digging.


What year of RL is? The serial number of LCD screen is nothing but the number on the trunk head unit is the one you need. For 96-03 RLs, it consists of an alphabet "B" with eight numbers, i.e., B12345678. For 04 RLs, it starts with "GLB" and eight numbers, i.e, GLB12345678. Call any Acura dealer in the United States and give them the serial number and then you will get the right 4 digit code.<BR itxtvisited="1"><BR itxtvisited="1">You may also find a serial number sticker if you look around at door hinges, trunk lid hinge, glove box, behind ashey tray, center console, owner's manual, etcEdited by: L3GDKANG/JDM-KA

i have the following information of my 1997 Acura RL 'Premium Package'

P/N: 39540-SZ3-A810-M1
REF #: BN1366A 0
SERIAL #: B60610507 A

i got this info from the unit in the trunk. i went to the dealer other day, i gave him the information he found 4 digit code for me but it didnt work. when i put the code it says 'invalid pin.
Then we called the dealer who sold the car as new but they didnt have any information at all.

its a mystery. now its become a challenge for me to unlock this navi system.

now you have to try getting the numbers off the head unit the deck or screne itself on the inside of the car.

Have you talked to the previous owner?
it sounds like it is asking you for a "PIN" (personal identification number)
not a anti-theft security code.

Have you tried disconnecting the battery? Ask the dealer, or another source how to "reset" the navi. Maybe it is in a manual.

yes it ask for a PIN number.
I have tried all other methods except asking the previous owner. I haven't talked to them yet. well i will try that now. i hope he/she remember the PIN#.
but there should a method to "reset" the navi. I am still searching for it.


-Thanks for replies

Finally HONDA customer support told me that they cannot provide me the previous owner info!!!

MY NAVI IS LOCKED BY A PIN NUMBER!!!!!!

i have no idea what to do now..is there any work around? i dont think sooo....crack PIN number?? hack into it...reset would help ???

you will have to have the deal do it for you as they can get it unlocked but they will charge you.

you may want to change it with an acura oem parts from racepages, its guaranteed to work..

Why dont you go to that dealer and try it. I dont think there is any other way....

If you have the manuals then try to check if there's an indicated serial to unlock it.If you can't find one,the best thing to do is go to the dealer where you bought your car and ask them to unlock it for you or give you the pin if permit so.

After disconnecting my battery I also had the radio lock up. Best solution to get a radio code I could find online was this service I used:
