Hey, I just got my car back from the shop today, and I had engine work done. Well they checked the tranny cause i just got this car recently. They diconnected the battery and now my radio needs a code. It says ERR-1, apparently you need a code to enter. Where do i find this code, I'm assuming I'll have to call the dealership with my VIN? Anyone else had this happen to them???Just need some help on this issue, im a new CL owner, less than a month. anything helps!!
thanks

 

same thing happened to me when i had to jump my battery. open your glove box. on the left outerside of the glovebox should be a sticker. i think its a 5 or 6 digit code. enter it in.

 

What did you get done to the engine?

 

I think you give them the radio's serial and not the VIN. Search through the forums for an easier way to find the serial instead of paying the dealer almost $100 for them to take it out just to copy down the serial.

 

did it work?

 

Fuckin a, how many times has this been discussed

 

no sticker, checked all manuals, window sticker....everything that came with the car. nothing, looked 2 times for it. where do i find the radio serial. if i get a new Head Unit will i still have the same problem

 

k, chill im a

 

ok you can now i found my radio code it turned out to be in my trunk...thanks for the help anyways

 

In your trunk huh? That's a new one...

 

lol yea where in da trunk

 

like right on the trunk hinge, it was a 5 digit thing and i was like WTF this must be it...so i tryed it and sure enuf it worked for me. it was on the left hinge in the middle. mine was a white sticker with black lettering.

 

Weird, Never heard of that Mine came with a card in the owner's manual, other people have it behind the ashtray or glovebox. At least u found it
