Subject: Re: Yet another radio/code issue


I had this problem once. I had an accident and lost my car for a month. When i got it back I was so quick to enter the code that I messed it up. LOCKED OUT!!! I called up the dealer they told me to leave the radio powered on for an uninterrupted hour. After doing that I turned the radio of and on and "C O D E" was sitting there prompting me. Entered my code and I was good to go again. So just let it stay on for an hour without touching it and it should clear itself. Hope that helps.
