I had the same problem and was told by a used parts dealer that specialized in Chrysler, that if the FM worked, and AM did not, then it was the antenna, but if the AM worked and FM did not, then it was the internal guts to the radio. The CD and tape player were just worn out. I cleaned the lens on the CD player and got a but more life out of it but in about 2 months it died for good. The symptom was that it immediately rejected any DC that I inserted and gave an "error" message. Here's how i fixed the problem: I bought a cheap XM tuner kit, that came with a cassette speaker adapter, and cigarette lighter power adapter. I got the Delphi "Roady II" system on sale at Wally World for $30. It came with everything. Regular price is about $50. the service is $12 per month (but well worth it IMHO). In fact, I really love the satellite radio and will, now, never be without one again. Next, I bought a cheap CD player (Diskman knock-off) for about $20. and used the same cassette adapter as with the XM tuner. The power adapter was not the same rating, so I just use AA batteries. They last quite a while. I don't worry about not having a cassette player. Well actually I do have one but it eats tapes. The cassette adapter, however, works fine in the tape player. Oh, BTW, I also have an inexpensive 1/2 gig mp3 player that I use in this set up as well. This is a little cumbersome, but very diverse, and much better than no tunes, or spending $900 on a replacement-factory system from the dealer (if they can even still provide one). Also I found it helpful to get one of those lighter power extenders that gives 3 lighter jacks out of one. That way I can still charge my cell phone, and other stuff. Hope this helps //Denis
Why does your car radio say code?
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.
I have a vague recollection that the neutral start switch could be the problem.

How do you replace a radio in a Mitsubishi Galant?
The panel that surrounds the stereo will pop right out afterwards lift and pull the original CD player out. Go down to the local walmart or some one who specializes in car audio equipment and buy the correct wire harness for your year make and model. Match up the wiring harness wires with the wires that came with your new CD player. After finishing you can continue by taking off the side catches that were on the original you will need them for a proper installation of your new CD player. Attach them to the new CD player, now before sliding in the CD player attach all your wires and look for a bolt to attach your ground to after attaching the wires and the ground (don't forget your aentenna) proceed to slide in the new CD player and reattach the face plate.
You have 190-E yr 1990. How to find the code for the radio?
What does you owner's manual say? Try http://www.carradio.sk/ which has a huge database of car radios. Mike. Did they even make a 1990 190e? Wasn't it stoped in '88 and re-introduced in '91-'92? 1993 was the last year for the 190E You will need to contact the dealer for the radio code
it is most likely the fuse. I have a 1984 jaguar xj6 and i have had the same problem, my fix for it was that the fuse box was messed up and a lot of the fuses have to be half out to work. Just try testing the fuses and moving them around a bit to see if that will re-connect the instruments.
i would check he fuses again or just replace the radio/lighter fuse if that dosent wor it probably cooked your radio too and its time for a new one

Where can one purchase a Starmate 4 radio?
Many people have switched the radios in their vehicles over to satellite radio, ensuring they get to listen to what they want, when they want. The Starmate 4 radio enables you to use SIRIUS Satellite Radio in your vehicle, home docking station or office audio system. SIRIUS sells their products through many major retailers including Wal-Mart, Visions Electronics, The Source, Best Buy, Future Shop, and more. The Starmate 4 is a dated model, so you might find it easier to get the Starmate 8.

Where is the radio used and why?
the radio is used to entertain you. lol why else would it be invented?
A factory repair manual should tell you this information.
If the factory wires are NOT cut, use a wiring harness adaptor and it is a breeze. Since this post can be edited by anyone, I will not go into how to manually wire a radio.
