The code should be on a card that looks like a cardboard credit card and says "radio code" on it. The PO may have it in their folder of receipts, etc. like ours did or in the owner's manual. It's a 4 digit code and sometimes they will write it on the inside cover of the manual. If not, you can get it from a local dealer. I think you just have to go in and give them your VIN to get it. They may charge you something for it, but should give it to you for free. It only takes them a minute to pull it up.

Btw, if it's in the car somewhere, get it out so a theif can't use the radio or won't take it without the code.

Just read in another thread, it's the S/N of the radio the dealer needs. They should be able to tell you how to get the S/N to pop up on the display.

To get the s/n, hold the TP button down for maybe 10 seconds. Then go to your dealer with the S/N and proof of ownership.

They access a data base and boon, you have the radio code.

Thks for all the help guys. Went to the dealership, no charge, did it on the spot on the cell from my car. You are correct he got the SN off the radio itself.
Cheers
