Why your 2010 Acura TL needs a radio code

Though radio codes may seem unnecessary, they are effective theft deterrents. For example, car stereos are a popular target for thieves, so manufacturers utilize radio codes to prevent personal property theft.

So, if your battery dies or is disconnected, your radio will stop working until you input the radio code. This hopefully means that the car's owner will have no trouble reactivating the radio, but a burglar without the radio code will not.

Luckily, your Acura TL's radio code is easy to find and shouldn't take you more than a few minutes!

How to find your 2010 Acura TL radio code

You should try looking for a sticker with your radio code listed. Your code could be in different places, but it'll always be five digits long.

The radio code sticker is usually in the glove box or on the cover of the fuse box in the engine compartment for most Acuras. It may also be in the owner's manual, the driver's side door jamb, or the trunk jamb.

If your search for the code doesn't work, you can always use some extra information to find it—as explained down below!
