My 1998 saab 900,, asks for a code to start the radio

Hi HalfBack

Unfortunately with the Saab factory radios, each unit has a code unique to the unit. The sheaf of stuff included with the owners manual included a credit card sized card with the code. That said, dealers can look the codes up for owners who have lost them. Your best shot is find a dealer that's still open and talk to them. Cheers

From the factory the code was on a card in the owners manual. Often times it is also written on the radio (have to remove it from the dash.) If all else fails take down your VIN number and call a dealer, they can look it up for you.

Try going to a Saab dealer with proof of ownership of car and they will look it up for you.

Try asking here for free advice+ code

the dealer can give you the code. just give them a call and give them the numbers that theyask for and they usually produce the code right away.

The codes are not for the Saab but for the radio.
You need to take the radio to a dealer of that brand of radio. There is not just one brand that can be installed by Saab. a Saab dealer can help, but none of us can, because each radio has its own code. But a dealer has the tools to reset it.

sorry but there is nowhere/body to find out what the code is...the first owner could have written it in the service book but "is that too much to ask...."you will either have to replace radio or an i.c.e.dealer may bypass the code for you .

should be in the back of you book if not need to call the dealer give them your vin # and they will give it to you

When you start the car the display should ask you for the code....Code In.....you should be able to simply enter the code and the radio should come back on. If 'Code In' does not display when you turn on the radio press and hold the 'band' button and 'code in' should come up on the screen.....let me know if that helps....if not I will go out and re-do mine on my 1997 Saab 900S to double check.....good luck

turn on the radio and enter the code. If it does not respond, hold the band button down until the screen asks for it. If that does not work, pull the radio and courtesy fuses for 5 minutes and retry.
