I changed the battery in my 1997 Discovery and the radio needs to be reset. The local dealer gave me a 7 digit code, but they don't know the procedure for entering it. Any ideas?

tahe out the radio call the dealer and tell him the numbers in the back of the radio will give it to you they night ask the vin number

Try using this code 8201 and when all four digits are displayed push either the tape or cd button and that should be it..

Hope that helps.........

Check with a dealer, they can usually get you the code with proof of ownership, although some of them charge for it. I don't know about a MB, but I've had some luck looking on the internet, however they usually give you a flock of codes, and you need to keep on trying until you hit the correct one. Try the dealer first, and see what they will do for you. Good luck!

In most cases when the engine light is on you're have a problem with a sensor. It is in the emissions most of the time. The things that you replaced (unless the sprk plugs where REAL bad) have nothing to do with the engine light. The best way for you to find out what the problem is, is to take your vehicle to you local auto parts store. Most of them have a scanner and will pull the code(s) that your computer has set to let you know that there is a malfunction in one of the components. They should do it free of charge. Once you have the trouble code (DTC) you will be able to narrow down a solution. I gave you below what the manual has to say but don't let that scare you. Number 1 they want you to bring ot to the dealer for repair. 2 as you now know you can have it checked for free. 3 sometimes it can be as simple as your fuel cap but don't start going and changing things until you know the problem. Also after you fix the problem you will need to reset the computer. This can be done simply by disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes. Make sure when you disconnect the battery, If your radio has a lock code that you have it as you will need to enter it in order for you to use your radio after the battery has benn disconnected. I hope this helps and good luck.

the radio code IS 4 DIGITS.you will have to go back to the dealer,otherwise buy a system without a code.......

try another hyundai dealer in your area. Someone should have it on record somewhere. Tell them to stop being lazy..

My dealer wants $85 for the code. Another dealer - 2 hrs away - wants $50. This looks more like a GM money-maker than a security feature.

I'm afraid if you don't have the code, you will have to take it to a local dealer or specialist radio store to have it re-coded.

Fortunately, it's not expensive.

local volvo dealer in Ft. Wayne called back and I gave them my vin and she gave me the code and it worked

Radio codes are only available from the Dealer, you need to goto the dealership with your registration, they will type in your Vehicle Identification Number in there system and give you a 4 or 5 digit code. If you have typed buttons on the radio (3 incorrect codes) the radio will go to a lock-out mode and you will have to leave the key on position 1 for 1 hour to reset the lockout mode.
Hope this helps.
