Radio code change battery need radio code

There is probably a radio code, though it is wise to proceed as if there is even if there isn't. Keeping the electrical system energised while changing the battery will keep anything with a memory alive and remembering the current settings - time, date, radio stations, speaker settings, trip computer data and suchlike...

People happily pay top prices for used cars only to later discover half the stuff they will eventually need is missing. One of these is often the radio and possibly other security codes.

There are several ways to feed power into a car electrical system while the battery is changed. The favourite way is to obtain a device that plugs into the cigar lighter or power socket. These can be self-contained or temporarily use a third car battery.
Such memory-savers are available in a variety of prices and complexities. The rechargeable battery-booster intended to plug into the power socket that is often sold to unsuspecting people through gift and mail order catalogues can double as a memory-saver, which is about all they are good for.

If you have a radio code then I suggest you find it and also read the manual. Lots of radios have a security system that can be disabled, temporarily or permanently and this would be the best thing to do before you start your job.

When changing your battery, please don't forget to read and observe the safety information - under certain conditions a battery can go off like a small grenade.

Hi Robert, I'm AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair.

I look forward helping you with your problem!

Robert, if your radio is a Chrysler radio that came with the vehicle then your problem is not a code issue. Two things may have happened. (1) You may have blown a fuse while replacing the battery. Check all fuses. (2) The Radio was on its last leg and the battery change may have help it go out. Here, one thing you can try if the fuses are good. Pull the radio out and try unplugging and reinstalling the connectors at the back of the radio. Some times this will kick start the radio back to life. If not you'll need a new radio, sorry for the bad news. If you should need further assistance click here. Auto Repair

The code is usually on a sticker on the side of your radio or the side of the glove box. sOME TIMES THEY WILL PUT ONE OF THE STICKERS IN YOUR OWNERS MANUAL ALSO
Good Luck

No, it is quite easy - remove battery cover by appyling pressure on the covers latches. you will need a ratchet and extension to loosen the battery grip at the bottom of the battery tray, I believe its a 14 mm socket.

notify dealer they have code the radio code is a security[anti theft ]code but it also activates when battery dies or changed out

The code is unique to every radio. Sometimes the radio code is written in the owners manual by a previous owner. If you can't find the code for the radio you will have to bring it to a mitsubishi dealer and have them get the code for you. They will probably charge you a small fee.

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.

Yes. Every time you disconnect the batterie you need to put radio code again.

Pull your radio out and look on the back for your radio serial number and then call Honda with that code and they will give it to you.
