How do I find my Acura pin number?
If you’re looking for your Acura PIN, it’s usually tied to either your AcuraLink/Owner Portal account or the map/navigation PIN used for updates. You can locate or reset the account PIN online through the Acura Owner Portal, or you may need to contact your dealer or Acura Customer Service for help with a navigation PIN. This guide walks you through the common methods to find or reset the PIN you need.
Types of Acura PINs
There are two common PINs associated with Acura services: one for account access (AcuraLink/Owner Portal) and one for navigation/map updates. The steps to locate or reset each PIN differ, so use the section that matches the PIN you’re after.
AcuraLink/Owner Portal PIN (account access)
The AcuraLink/Owner Portal PIN is the code you use to sign in to your Acura account or to verify certain security settings. If you forget it or need to reset it, you’ll typically use the Acura website or contact support.
Use these steps to locate or reset your AcuraLink PIN in your online account:
- Go to the Acura Owner Portal and sign in with your Acura ID and password.
- Navigate to the security or PIN section in your account settings.
- If you see a PIN field, note the code; if you forgot it, select “Forgot PIN” and follow the verification prompts (email or phone verification).
- If you cannot recover the PIN through the portal, contact Acura Customer Support or your local dealer to verify ownership and reset the PIN.
After you recover or reset the PIN, store it securely and consider using a password manager to keep it safe and accessible only to you.
Navigation/Map PIN (for map updates)
Some Acura models require a map unlock PIN or code to enable navigation updates. This PIN is typically issued by Acura or your dealer after your vehicle is registered for updates or mapped to your VIN. The exact process can vary by model and year.
Follow these steps to obtain a map unlock PIN from Acura or your dealer:
- Confirm with your vehicle’s manual or the navigation settings screen whether a PIN or unlock code is required for updates.
- Sign in to the designated Acura navigation/Map Update portal using your vehicle VIN and account information, or contact your dealer for guidance.
- Request the unlock PIN/code if prompted; you may receive it by email or through your account’s message center.
- Enter the PIN/code into the navigation system when requested. If the code is rejected, contact your dealer or Acura support for assistance.
Keep in mind that map PINs or unlock codes are linked to your vehicle’s VIN and ownership, so you’ll often need to verify ownership during the retrieval process.
General tips and what you’ll need
Having the right information ready can speed up PIN retrieval or reset. Here’s what to gather before you begin:
- Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of your Acura
- Proof of ownership (e.g., title or registration) if requested
- The email address and phone number on your Acura account
- A government-issued photo ID if you need to verify identity in person
- Dealer contact information or the Acura Customer Service contact details
Tip: Do not share your PIN with others, and store it securely to prevent unauthorized access to your account or vehicle features.
What to do if you still can’t locate your PIN
If you’re unable to retrieve or reset your PIN through the online portal, or if your navigation PIN can’t be found, the next best step is to contact a certified Acura dealer or Acura Customer Service. They can verify ownership and guide you through the secure reset or PIN issuance process.
Before contacting support, have your VIN, account email, and a form of ID ready to expedite verification. Also note any error messages you’ve received on the vehicle’s navigation screen or in the account portal, as they can help the agent diagnose the issue quickly.
Summary
In most cases, your Acura PIN will come from two places: the AcuraLink/Owner Portal for account access or a navigation/map update PIN issued for map unlocks. Sign in to the Acura Owner Portal to manage or retrieve the account PIN, and consult your dealer or Acura support for navigation PINs. Keeping your PIN information secure and up to date will help you access connected services and keep your navigation features functioning smoothly.
