Best Answer

The radio has a built in security feature. When power is lost to the radio, it requires you to insert a code to restore the radio to an operational condition. The code came with the car. Look in the glove box, console, and in the owners manual for the code. Do not attempt to guess at the code or you will lock the radio up.
