how do i get my 98 acura 3.5 rl navigation working without the passcode?

Is it hot?

Simply put you won't. it HAS to have the passcode. PERIOD. it has been put there for a reason. If it is stolen, then I hope you get caught and rot in jail. If not stolen and in the ORIGINAL vehicle then your local Acura dealer will be able to help you.

I had the same problem with my TL when I had a battery changed and everything electrical got disconnected- you're not going to get it working without the code. If you are the legit owner of that system- you shouldn't have any problem getting your code from an Acura dealership. If you are not the legit owner of that system- I don't know what to say- you either wasted time or money- because it's not gonna work. (That feature was created to deter professional thieves from stealing built-in navigations from cars, just like the chip found in keys necessary to ignite.)

You need the code no matter what. . . same with the radio, for all cars. This is so that it cant be stolen. There is absolutly no way to get around it, you can call any Acura dealer, and they can give it to you. If you enter in random codes, you may get locked out!
