CODE won't appear

so i got a ride to work today and before i left i was getting some stuff out of my car and i forgot the key in the ignition on contact and i get home and the battery was dead so i jumped it and had to reset in the navi and radio code. i put the navi code in and it worked but the word "CODE" does not come up near the clock so i can put it in radio code. removed fuses #32, #5, and #7 and still no luck. also tried disconnecting the battery for half hour and STILL no luck.. can anyone please help

that's the navi screen.. has nothing to do with the radio. i pushed all the buttons and nothing comes up. i still have to put the radio code but it isn't showing the word "CODE" near the clock for me to even put the code in.. cd's or tapes won't even go in

damn does anyone read anymore, he put in the navi code and that worked, but when he puts in the radio cod it doesnt work. When he presses a number the "C" doesnt show, and every consecutive number doesnt show any letter.

^^^ hey just trying to help here....i dont even have a navi car...

anyway so you have 2 codes (navi and radio)....you put the navi code and it worked and you dont see the CODE to put the radio code in.....

try disconnecting the battery for 20-30 minutes....when its time to put the codes in, put the radio code first this time around....see if that works....

and where's your advice to his situation?

And for the record, I THOROUGHLY read through all the posts and concluded that NO ONE told him to turn on the radio by pushing the volume knob in...

That's NOT how you enter the radio code. CODE doesn't appear when you press a preset number.



Do people not read anymore?

a suggestion: try removing both terminals on the battery and touch them together. After putting them back see what happens. Hopefully that will work.
I guess the tsx is different on how to get the radio started-The two times I did it on my tsx the first 4 numbers came up as CODE and then the 5th was the number. After I pushed the tuner button in the radio came on. Good Luck.
