you set the code? if ya buy a used car then have the dealer get the codes reset to YOUR numbers. now its too late, fork over $$ at the dealership.
The following procedure will give you a new code that you can use instead of your personal code. Using this new code, you can "unlock" your radio and then "re-lock" it with a new code if you wish. Prerequisites: The radio must be in LOC mode NOT in INOP mode.
Let me explain. If you have activated the Theft-Deterrent feature of your radio and loose power, the radio goes into LOC (theftlock) mode. With the ignition on, you must use the MN and HR buttons to enter you personal code in order to unlock it (The instructions are on page 3-27 in your Y2K Owner's manual). If you fail to enter the correct code eight (8) times, the radio goes into INOP mode. You have to wait an hour with the ignition on before the radio returns to LOC mode (go for a long drive somewhere).
Procedure:
Hope this helps. It has saved me $$ and time. Be careful with the radio, it controls the functions of the vehicle also (depending on model). I have a 99
2500 4x4 and the radio can be set to prevent the vehicle from starting or be taken out of park.Bowman
