Radio Code
What to do when your radio is asking for a code.

Ever been in one of those situations where you were listening to one of todays top hits while you were detailing the inside of your car?

Maybe you were using an electric air pump with your vehicle in accessory mode and not running.

If you have than you may have drained your battery a time or two to the point that it will no longer start.

After some frustrating words, digging out your battery booster or even calling for a boost from your local tow company, you realize that you can no longer listen to your favorite radio stations or that mixed CD that has been in the player for months no and that the display is now showing "code."

Fear not as this is pretty easy to fix.

All you need to do is follow the steps below to get that radio up and working and your favorite music pumping again!
