What website can I use to retrieve my Acura radio code?

Online lookup through the Acura Owners Site

Here's how to retrieve your radio code online, including the information you’ll need and the steps to follow.

What you’ll need

Gathering the right details before you start will speed things up and reduce back-and-forth with customer support.

• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for your Acura


• Radio serial number or radio ID, if requested (the label on the radio or owner’s manual may list it)


• Proof of ownership or verified access to the Acura Owners account


• Your Acura login credentials

Having these on hand helps you complete the online lookup quickly. If you don’t have the radio ID or can’t access the portal, proceed to the dealer option described below.

How to retrieve the code online

Follow these steps within the Acura Owners site to view or obtain your radio code, subject to verification.

• Sign in to the Acura Owners site at owners.acura.com (create an account if you don’t already have one).


• Select your vehicle from the dashboard to access its maintenance and ownership records.


• Look for a security or radio-code option in the vehicle’s information page; follow prompts to display or request the code.


• If the code isn’t visible, use the site’s help or contact options to request assistance; you may be asked to verify ownership and provide the radio ID/VIN.


• Record the code securely and store it in a safe place for future use.

Online retrieval can be quick for registered vehicles, but availability may vary by model and region. If you encounter gaps, proceed to the dealer route below for verification-based retrieval.

Dealer or Acura support: alternative options

If the online route isn’t available or you prefer professional help, dealers and Acura support can assist with code retrieval after identity verification.

• Visit an authorized Acura dealer with your VIN and, if possible, the radio’s serial number; the service staff can verify ownership and issue the code.


• Contact Acura Customer Support through official channels to request radio-code assistance; be prepared to provide VIN and radio identification details.


• If the radio has been replaced or the vehicle has changed ownership, you may need additional documentation (proof of ownership, sale agreement, etc.) to obtain the code.

Dealers typically have direct access to the code database and can issue a code card or display the code for the unit, provided you can verify ownership and the radio’s identity.

Summary

For Acura owners, the fastest path to a missing radio code is usually through the official Acura Owners Site at owners.acura.com, aided by your VIN and radio ID. If online retrieval isn’t possible, your nearest authorized Acura dealer or Acura customer support can verify ownership and provide the code. Keep your VIN, radio ID, and proof of ownership handy to speed up the process and store the code securely once you have it.
