Your 2009 Acura TSX has never needed a radio code before. Why now?
As an anti-theft measure, your radio locks every time your battery is replaced or dies. Since your radio won’t work without the code, it can help deter radio theft.
But not having your radio code on hand can be a pain, especially if you’re late to wherever you’re going and don’t want to drive in silence. Here’s how to find your 2009 Acura TSX radio code.
How to find your 2009 Acura TSX radio code
Fortunately, your 2009 Acura TSX radio code is very easy to find. First, check your glove box. Your radio code should be on a sticker or in your owner’s manual. The five-digit number on the sticker is your radio code.
If you don’t find anything there, check for a sticker on your door or trunk jamb. Another spot is your engine fuse box cover. Again, you’re looking for a five-digit code—anything else isn’t what you need.
How to look up a 2009 Acura TSX radio code
Can’t find a sticker? Don’t panic! You can look up your 2009 Acura TSX radio code with two pieces of information; your
vehicle identification number (VIN)
and radio serial number. Finding your VIN is easy. You can check your registration, insurance documents, or the bottom of your windshield on the driver’s side for your 17-digit VIN.
To find your radio serial number, you’ll first need to turn your ignition to ON. Your radio should have “CODE” displayed. Then, press hold preset buttons 1 and 6. On the first screen, you’ll see the letter U followed by the first four digits of your radio’s serial number. The second screen will have the letter L followed by the last for digits (ex. U1234, L5678). Ignore the letters and put the two numbers together to get your 8-digit serial code.
Once you have your VIN and serial code, you can find your radio code in one of three ways.
