The Kia Radio says hold because an improper activation code has been entered 3 times. The way to fix the issue is to: 1. Loosen the positive battery cable and disconnect it for about 3 minutes 2. Reconnect the battery cable and secure it 3. Turn the key on, not the engine until the radio lights up and it will ask for a code 4. refer to your owners manual, it IS printed in the manual. very hard to find on my 2002 kia spectra but it was in there. 5. use the radio buttons to input the correct code 6. The HOLD and CODE commands on the radio will disappear and you will have to re-program your stations. ============================================= As a theft deterrent, anytime the radio looses power (i.e. the battery is disconnected), it requires a 4-digit code to reactivate it. If the code is entered wrong 3 times, the word "HOLD" will appear on the screen. To fix it, wait one hour with the battery connected, the radio turned on, and the ignition key in the ACC position. When the word "CODE" reappears, enter the correct 4-digit security code using the radio preset buttons; From pages 9 and 10 of the "Audio Owner's Manual": For the first digit, press preset 1 a sufficient number of times for the correct number to appear. For the second digit, press preset 2 a sufficient number of times. For digit 3, press preset 3, for digit 4, press preset 4. If the correct code is not displayed, repeat the steps until it is. When the correct code is displayed, press the SEL button once. If the system is still locked, repeat these steps. I had debated including the default security code here, but seeing as the stock radio is not even worth the effort to steal it, it is "1111"
