You must be replacing the radio with a stock PT cruiser radio. ( one that normally comes with the car, Not aftermarket.) recommend looking on back of radio for a radio ID number, then calling a dealer and giving them the VIN to the vehicle and the radio ID number. Once you do get the number, write it down and keep it somewhere Safe BESIDES in the car. This is a anti theft feature, so if someone steals your radio they wont be able to use it. Also if your battery every goes dead and your car looses power, you will need to re enter this number in the radio in order for it to work. ...best of luck

Take to the dealer, they will need the vin to be able to give you the code. Play their game, "wouldn't you like to find a replacement".

When you disconnect your battery and then reconnect itagain, it disables the radio. This is an anti-theft protection for your carradio.
The enable your radio the activation code is in your vehicle owner's manual. Ifyou do not have this code you need to go to your Ford servicecentre and get them to enter this code for you.

I replaced the batterl and now when the radio s turned on it says code. how do i reprogram it?

The re activation code should have been given to you from the dealer if you purchased the car new, possibly is in with the owners manuels. you will need this code to re activate due to the built in anti theft program on Honda's. Good Luck, I hope this helps.

Replaced battery in 1996 Honda Accord which deactivated radio.

You need to code ..punch in code then power radio up and it will work. For a fee if its the original radio for this car the code can be retrieved by the dealer. If you entered to code incorrectly more than 4 times you will need to disconnect battery for 30 second and re-enter code. good luck and thanks for using FIX YA

I mistakenly put the radio security code wrongly 3times now the screen reads 'off'.i was told i need a dealer to unlock it.

That is Correct. After the 3rd Incorrect Entry, It is in Lockout Mode and has to be Reset by a Dealer.
