First check your paperwork and manual to see if the little wallet card with the code is on it.
Hondas have the exact same issue except that with Hondas you can go online, register, enter the original purchase date (when it was purchased new), the VIN and the Serial Number of the stereo and get the code. I've done some research on Hyundai and unfortunately they don't offer this service online and when you call them they don't have codes for any vehicles newer than 1995.
Your only option is to go to the service department at a Hyundai dealer. They can do it but expect to be charged.
Good luck!

Locked radio 2006 gmc canyon

Most modern cars have a security code enable for the installed radio/cd players. This is an anti-theft device.

The initial documents given to the owner when the vehicle was purchased lists this code and how to reset it.

If you are second owner/original owner who has lost this information, then, you can approach gmc canyon dealer and they will have this code on their server. Normally a free service (I believe).

The security code is lost from the radio whenever keep alive voltage is removed from the radio. i.e. You disconnected or replace the battery.

I hope this helps.

I need key code radio 6000 cd rds eon serial M 090920 please i really need it

When you disconnect your battery and then reconnect it again, it disables the radio. This is an anti-theft protection for your car radio.
The enable your radio the activation code is in your vehicle owner's manual. If you do not have this code you need to go to your vehicle manufacturer's service centre and get them to enter this code for you.

Hi! i changed the battery of the car, when i did it i lost the code of the radio and now i don't know the code... if u can please help? the car is audi a6 2001 1.8

When the battery was removed the codes are reset and so it will be best to check your manual or the dealership database as this is easily available with them.
If not check if the following link gives some tips:

I need the code for the radio cause i replaced the battery and now it won't work without the code

If you have proof that you own the vehicle and the radio the dealer will give you that info. If it was easily obtained anyone with a stolen radio could get it and it would not be a security feature anymore. In the future, you can get a small device called a setting saver that plugs into an accessory port that eliminates the need for re-coding on battery disconnects or service.

Radio and console does not work after replacing battery

Radio may need code, radio should display "code, loc, ..." IF no power at all, check all fuses. Sometimes spark from changing battery can blow radio fuses easily.

Lost code for range rover 2002 vogue when battery disconnected i have radio serial number and car v5 identification but i live in france so can not take into a local dealer help please jill

Good day Jill, log on to www.radio-code.com You can get the instructions and code to get your radio working again. There is a small fee, but it's much better then the dealer and you get to keep the radio code and instructions so the next time you have to replace the Battery and you have the same problem you can address the issue. But just in case you have to replace the Battery, make sure you have the radio turned off. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to know if you got your radio working again.

Resetting the radio code in a 1998 falcon

The dealer has to send the radio out to their authorized service rep to hve the EPROM in the radio re-flashed with a new code.

These radios have no master key code. They were designed to be very secure.
