Answer

First once it is in the "lock" mode you will have to turn the key on engine off for one hour. Use a battery charger to ensure the battery does not run down. Then once you have that done you will have to get the Vin# of the vehicle the radio came from to purchase the code and instructions if its not RDS(if it is a dealer will have to do it). http://www.radio-code.com/Retrive%20code.htm It would be best to have a dealer reprogram the radio for your Vin # and unlock the radio. Hope this Helps. Please click accept for me. Thanks
