I just purchased a used 2003 TL Type-S. The radio was locked and needed the security code. I contacted the delear for the code which they gave me. And it did not work instead I have an error now saying ErrE. It wont allow me to retry the number. What would be my options now.

wait a bit, and try unplugging the antenna fro the back then entering the code. Yes sounds weird but mant have had to do that

How do you get the radio out to remove the antenna plug?

Also Do i have to do the code with the car in the on position or can it be running.

Hello all,

I recently reset the radio code on my 03 TLS too. Here is how I got my to work.

1. Obtained valid radio code (5 digits)
2. Turn ignition key to the on position, and turn radio on
3. Enter key code

IF, there is still error, tried again.
Verified with the dealer, perhaps they giving you an invalid code.

You have to remove the wood trim pieces (just pull up and back) then remove the screws that hold the rear center console inplace and slide it back (there are 2 in the bottom of the center console) then remove teh screws for the side trim. You can then pull that off and slide your hand behind the radio to unplug it.

I would just turn the key to the run position.

Another Solution Which Happened To Me Is That If You Disconnect The Battery For About 2mins And Then Reconnect And Try It It Should Work. When My Car Was Gettign Worked On The Code Didnt Work Initially Then A Delaer Friend Told Me To Disconnec The Battery

And Viola It Workd

Hate to revive an old thread, just tried this and it worked like a charm, spent all day frustrating myself putting in my radio code and waiting for the error to clear, took 10 mins, and it worked...
