I am trying to find out how to retrieve the radio code in my 2000. I need to disconnect the battery but don't dare yet.

Folks I have searched this site and I'll be damned if I can find anything, using or trying to use the advice about how to search. We are reassured that the process is simple but... maybe it's me? However I have been on the Acura LEGEND site and searched many times with the utmost ease.

I have searched google and those sites lead you through a chase of commercial sites trying to sell something.

I contacted the former owner and he doesn't recall anything about radio codes although he had the battery replaced.

The owners manual doesn't mention anything about radio codes that I could find. Nor is there anything mentioned in the FSM (EL section) that I could find.

Thanks. Jack

Maybe because there are none?

Never been a problem for me on the 2000 FGY33.

Well oh silly me. Never did I think that there would NOT be any radio codes to worry about. I just assumed that there would be since I came from Acura, and a Bose radio... I'm still with my Acura though, radio codes and all.Radio Codes are good, makes you feel smart and sophisticated when you punch them in to restore the music. Kinda like "I Spy"There is a website, http://www.radiocode.com that will retrieve your radio code for a fee and although they are in Great Britain they do offer Nissan service but not the Q45. And there is the dealerships I suppose, but I don't go there much for anything except parts occasionally. ThanksJack

That website looks to be one that finds music. Are you looking for error codes?

If it is the music you're looking for, just an iPod. Or a CD. Hell, even a cassette.

Some car have an anti-theft feature for the radio. If the battery/electrical power is disconnected the radio goes blank and there is a number code for restoring it to service. You punch in the numbers using the preset buttons.

I suppose no-one want to steal those hard to sell Q45's??? After all they don't sell that well, legally.

Oh. Good to know. I don't have a Bose head unit. My Q didn't come with one. Thank you for clearing that up. Are all of the codes the same? Have you checked the Bose website? What's the model number? Maybe I can do a little digging around.
