You can find your 2004 Acura TSX radio code by checking inside the glove box or owner’s manual.
Radio codes are anti-theft measurements that lock would-be thieves out of your radio. However, they can also lock you out if your battery gets disconnected. If your radio doesn’t turn on and let you play your favorite station, you’ll need to find your radio code to regain control.

.Why your 2004 Acura TSX needs a radio code
Radio codes are an anti-theft deterrent added to help stem the theft of radios. Due to their small size and how easy they are to remove, radios were once one of the most frequently stolen car components.
Radio codes are five-digit numbers that must be input directly into the radio after it has been disconnected from a power source. While this is great for stopping robberies, it can also inconvenience you if your battery is changed out or dies.
Read on to learn how to find your 2004 Acura TSX radio code and get your music back.
How to find your 2004 Acura TSX radio code
Before you start searching, make sure you even need a radio code. Try pressing and holding your radio’s power button for two seconds or so—in some radios, this will reset the system, allowing you to regain control.
If this doesn’t work, then it’s time to find your 2004 Acura TSX radio code. First, check the glove box. The radio code could be on a decal inside the glove box, or a radio anti-theft identification card inside your owner’s manual.
Other possible locations for the radio code include the underside of the engine compartment fuse box, on the driver’s side door jamb, or on the trunk jamb.
When you find the decal or identification card, it should list both the radio code and the radio’s serial number. The radio code will be five digits long and contain no numbers.

How to look up a 2004 Acura TSX radio code
If you can’t find your radio code written anywhere in or on your car, don’t worry—you can still learn your radio code. Now, you’ll need to find two other numbers: your car’s vehicle identification number (VIN) and the radio’s serial number.
You can find the VIN in several places, including on your windshield, registration, and insurance paperwork.
The radio serial number can be found by interacting with the radio itself. Place your car in the ON position. Then, hold down the first and sixth radio preset buttons and turn on your radio. The radio serial number should flash across the radio’s screen.
With these two numbers handy, use one of the following resources to access your radio code:
