After battery was reconnected key would not gon in to key hole.It is totaly jammed by system. I have reenterd radio code before that.
SOURCE: Key stuck in the ignition
Well the radio code is an anti-theft issue. you have to take it to the dealership and they get your VIN number and they will retrieve the serial number to your radio. With that they can look up your code. It will cost at least $75 dollars.
Make sure they connect it back up correctly because then if you live in climates that reach under 20 degrees your radio will shut off. or when hit a bump in the winter your radio will shut off and you have to enter the code everytime it goes off.
I have an '01 montero sport XLS. Battery died and I had to experience this the hard way.
SOURCE: cant get in car to pop hood, dead battery key hole jammed!!
at this point you have 2 options, 1, go to a parts store and get a jimmy kit that helps you break into the car by unlocking the door, whicch sometimes can be tricky or if you have aaa they will unlock it for you for free, 2, you would have to reach from underneath and feel around for the cable, folow it to the latch assembaly and carefully release the latch assembaly, this way wil be very difficult and a tight area.
Good Luck.
