Audio System Theft Protection

The audio system is disabled when it is disconnected from the power source, such as 
when the 12-volt battery is disconnected or goes dead. In certain conditions, the 
system may display a code entry screen. If this occurs, reactivate the audio system.

■

Reactivating the audio system

1. Set the power mode to ON.
2. Turn on the audio system.
3. Select and hold the 

 (power/audio) icon for more than two seconds.

u

The audio system is reactivated when the audio control unit establishes a 
connection with the vehicle control unit. If the control unit fails to recognize 
the audio unit, you must go to an authorized Acura NSX dealer and have the 
audio unit checked.
