Go to your dealership and give them the make, model, and year of your car. next give the the serial number of the radio( should be in the glove box on a label. explain to the the problem, and they should be able to look up the 5 digit code for you(most dealerships do this for free). when you go to enter the code, the radio must be powered up for one hour before entering the code(in case of theft). I hope this helps you

    I have the code but not sure how to enter the code. What button(s) I need to push first to start the entering process and after entering the code is there another button to indicate the end of code entry?

    sorry about that, I get stupid sometimes, ok here we go. switch the radio on, but don't do anything. enter the code using only the radio memory buttons. it should beep after you enter the last number, and work as normal. You only get 3 tries to enter the code correctly, and then it locks up. if this happens, disconnect the battery for about 30 minutes for the radio to die. and you can start all over again. sorry about the first time, didn't realize you already had the code. I hope this helps you

The stereo is needing a code to put in before it will work. It should be in the owners manual. If not, you will have to check with a dealer who may provide a code for a small fee. You will need proof of ownership of the car.

the stereo may have connection with your anti theft device, drive your car to the dealer and they can reset the device for you at a minimal charge. this should resolve these issues. Good luck

Radio/dvd/cd not working since battery died

alot of newer cars have an anti theft system for the radio and when you lose power you have to enter a code into the radio so you may have to call the dealership to get it
