Radio Code
You will need the VIN number of the car (if it is the original radio that came with the car). If it is not the original radio (came from another car perhaps or new as a replacement), then there is a serial number in the back of the radio that you will need. The dealer may require proof of ownership of the car to provide information.
The code is a four digit number that you would enter using the preset numbers. Often the number has been written somewhere on the paperwork that may be inthe glove box- worth a try to look- it would be a number that didn't contain any digits for which there are not radio preset buttons (1-6 for instance).
Don't just randomly enter numbers though, because after a certain number of times (like 4?) the radio will 'lock', and then you will have to 'reset' it by leaving the key in the full ignition position (all warning lights on) for over two hours, after which it will again say "code" and you will have another chance to enter the code.
And if you decide to pull the radio out to find the serial number and you notice that there happens to be a four digit number written in permanent pen on the case of the radio itself, then it's a good bet that's the code. It seems that used radios are often labelled in this way.
It is hassle, but not tough. I once bought a volvo that the previous owner drove around for over a year without a functioning radio because it was "broken," and all it took was a call to the local dealer and the 2 hour ignition key sit to solve the problem.
Good luck.
