AnswerThe radio code feature of
Daewoo models (sold in the US from 1998 - 2001 as
Leganza,
Nubira, and
Lanos) is meant to be an anti-theft security feature, but unfortunately it can also present a problem to legimate owners when their
car
batteries have died or been replaced. When the radio is removed from
the power source (or the power source is interrupted), the radio will
reset itself (prevent any use) and flash "CODE" until the proper code is
entered.
Each radio has a specific four-digit code, which was originally provided on a
plastic card within the owner's manual kit. New owners were encouraged to remove the card and keep in a
safe
place outside the car (eg home). Since these cards may be lost over
time (or perhaps not passed along when the car was sold used), that
leaves today's owner in a tough spot.
To obtain your code... You can
try calling Daewoo Motor America
(the company still operates a HQ in CA for service/parts/warranty
purposes); their website is still www.daewoous.com. You can also
try calling your original Daewoo dealer, who hopefully still has some technical materials and personnel to help you identify your unique code.
Some General Motors dealers may be able to help, as GM acquired Daewoo and still sells Daewoo-made
cars
in the US under their Pontiac and Chevy brands. But all methods above
may be difficult for an individual detailed problem such as obtaining
your unique radio code.
If all else fails, TRY THE CODES BELOW, which were the most common codes used in models during the 1998-2001 model years.

I
am posting these because - although the code feature was a valuable
anti-theft feature - there have been no models sold in the US since late
2001, and the radios are now undoubtly worthless to theives. At this
point, the radio code feature can only be a major nusance to an owner of
a still-running used Daewoo. Good luck and enjoy your car!

I didn't buy it from a dealer I bought it from a privite party and now he doesn't answer his phone. I tried to call him to see if he had the manual. How would I find a dealer and would they be able to help me?
