I bought an Integra in May and I had some work done on it recently. The
mechanics pulled the battery and now my factory stereo has been reset
and needs the security code. I have no idea what it is. I went to Acura
and the said that theres no way for them to find out. I went to
the dealer that I bought it from and they said they didn't know what it
is either. [shoot] Does anyone have any thoughts?

Any good Acura dealer can get you the code IF you have the serial number
from the radio. Worst case is pull the radio and get the serial number, get
the code from the dealer and reinstall the radio and enter the code.

One other thing to check, in some of the late model cars they put a sticker
in either the glovebox or under the ashtray, you might want to look there
first, just in case!!

When it was new, there was a card with a couple of stickers on it with the
code number. If you got the owners manual, look through it and around the
inside of the car to see if the first owner or dealer stuck them anywhere.
They do not say radio code on them, it will be just a small sticker with a
number. You enter it into the radio with the preset buttons when it says
"code".

Otherwise, you will have to pull the radio out and get the serial number off
of it as others have posted. Any Honda/ Acura dealer should be able to look
up the code from the serial number of the radio.

And BTW, i think your dealer is stupid if they say they don't know!
