Anyone know the code for the radio, i disconnected the battery to reset the computer, and went to take it for a beat ride and no radio!! That sucks, then i had to drive for a hour with out it too, that really really sucks!!! Please help......

 

This been covered many times, do a search. (maybe on "radio code")

But anyways... you should have recieved the code in along with the car manual binder. But I'm guessing if you got your car used... sometimes you don't get everything. Anyways If you do a search, you see that the radio code is on a sticker in various places on the car. It is a 5 digit number. If worst comes to worst.... you can go to the dealer and they will dig up the code for you.

 

if u dont have the card with the code, get the serial number from your radio and bring it to the dealer, they will pull the code for you.

Instead of removing the radio, u might want just to take out the left side plastic cover trip, and use a flashlight to locate the code on the back of the radio.

good luck, and yes like crazymonkey mentioned, Search engine is your friend.

 

Try 11111
or maybe 11112
oh no it's 11113

 

you sure its not 11114??

 

no i think its 666666, well I might be wrong

 

 

just hold down the 1&6 presets while turnin on the car and release....it should flash twice and that will be ure code.

 

When I got my car I didn't get the code...I just dropped the TL off for service this morning, I asked them to get the code. Do a search, like the others said....the code is in various spots of the car.

 

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

 

ah ha but i didnt write DO a Search!

 

is the code really hidden in various spots on the car? i didnt have one anywhere

 

Just to let you guy know, i found it before the dealer did, they had to do a search b/c the car was orginally bought in a different state, and i couldnt stand riding around with no f'in stereo anymore, so the sticker was stuck on the inside edge of the glove box, with the 5 digit code on it....plus i went to enter it and it didnt work, i was like wtf, then i read somewhere that the antenna has to be unplugged when doing it, thats a pain in the ass!! So like a smart fella, instead of unplugging it from the back of the HU, i just uplugged it from the back window!! And it worked the first time.... BTW the sticker is usually in the glove or in the fuse box under the hood, underneath the cover..............

 

good work!

 

"then i read somewhere that the antenna has to be unplugged when doing it,"..

is this true?.
it's worked for me without unpluging the antenna..

 

I don't get the point of having a "security" code if it's in a prominent location in the car.

 

i dunno i tried it 8 times and i thought when it said "err 8" i figured i had two chances left or i would be f'ed.....i thought even i had the wrong ### but i tried it anyway and it worked ..............thank god !!!!!!!!!!

 

u mean there's a limit to security code attempts?.
if you exceed the max tries...what happens?.

 

My car doesn't have the radio code anywhere...

 

dunno and didnt want to know, but what i did know is that each attempt it kept counting up, i almost said f'it and was gonna drive to tweeter to buy that new alpine i wanted ........

 

Self-destruct

 

nice

 

it locks u out after the 10th attempt for an hour and then u can try again, but to get around it u can pull the radio fuse out and reinsert.

 

i had to unplug mine to enter security code
i guess it's for some TLs...
should be a recall on the radio!

 

mine does! in the leather case the manual is in on a little white card.

 

Well, yeah. Besides that.

Someone said it was posted all over the car.

 

Mine is on a white sticker on the glovebox. Open the box and it is on the left side of the box(outside), so you can see it from the drivers seat. Also check the fuse panel cover.

 

not all years came with the code printed somewhere on the car, people. if you're REALLY havin' trouble with it, just get your stereo's serial number and go to your nearest dealer for them to give you your code.
