Thanks for the reply. From your info, I suspect wire problem because.... I purchased the car used from a SAAB dealer. They sold the car when it was new, showed me the service records, and even what they did to the car after it was traded in. A new battery was installed before I purchased it. Its weird. Sometimes I can be driving down the street and it asked for the code. One time, I made the 75 mile trip to my parents house, it asked for the code about 10 minutes from the house. Since this is a pull out stereo, could the contacts be starting to get "dirty"? Mike.
