Sounds like your radio lost power for a bit - and the anti-theft kicked in. There should be a default code in your user's manual, but if you've reset the code (good idea - thieves have access to the manual too, you know) you're basically stuck with taking it to the dealer.

Hello! When you purchased your Mercedes a card (similar to a bank card), which has the radio code stamped on, should have accompanied your owners manual. If not visit your dealership and they can give you the code. Turn on the radio, punch in the code, and radio will come on. Any time your battery is disconnected, when you power back up the radio code must be re-entered.

Reset code 2355 won`t work on (locked) radio after battery replacement. Serial number M592880

If your radio is just saying "locked" without any numbers after it then just turn on ignition and turn radio on and leave until code appears..... Depending on how many wrong attempts have been made will depend on the wait! Could be minutes or hours...... Just turn on and wait!

2008 GMC Acadia radio won't turn on

The radio and BCM needs read for codes. No reason for the radio not to work after a FOB program. Just a guess, but if the battery power was to low, radio is locked out.

Hi I have a 2000 Kia rio and the stereo has come up with the word code I have the 4 digit code but it won't let me enter it. How do I type in the code?

The radio anti-theft code was given to the orig owner with the cars paperwork like the owners manual, if you are not the Orig owner you need to contact the dealer, they can access the factory data base and provide the code, also ask how to enter it into the radio.

I replaced my battery and the radio does not turn on nor do the head lights. All fuses are fine. The lights show if i want to flash the brights. But nothing steady. I even replaced a bulb with no change....

Well, I guess you won't be using the radio or driving after dark

You will get the code when you spend something,
because without the scan tool it won't happen.

Hi - i had my battery replaced and now need the code for my radio as it comes up as ERR enter code...my car is a ford laser XRI 5-door 1996 - any ideas??!

if you have the owners manual it should be written down in it.if not then you will have to go to a ford dealer and ask them to get the code for you(ford should have it in their data base,the manufacture)it may take some time as to the age of the car.when you get it write it down were you won`t lose it or it won`t fade.you may have to get in contact with ford itself to get this info,if you can`t then you will have to replace the radio,

What components do I need to activate the XM radio, Scion 2009?

The radio has a code. If you have the car's manual it will tell you how to display the code on the radio screen. Subscribe to xm and give them the radio code, and that is it. Helpful Hint : If you just want music and news and not all the other programs . XM has a 9.99 per month subscription, they won;t tell you unless you ask.. Good luck
