  • Answer:

    With your car being a 96, you will need to have the serial number of the radio which is located on the back side of the radio. With this number, you can give your dealer the serial number and they can give you the lock code. The newer vehicles have the availability to use the 1 & 6 buttons to retrieve the serial number. The newer vehicles also have a sticker that goes in the glove box that has the serial number on it.

unfortunately its not in the manual. If you bought teh car new, the dealer should have given you a plastic card with the code on it. If you dont have this then you'll have to take it to the dealership. Or install an aftermarket radio (i would do that, its cheaper and easier).

If your car is newer than 2002 you can hold the "1" and "6" preset buttons and then press the power button. The display will then flash the 8 digit radio serial number. Write this down, then call or take the car by the dealer to get the code. If the car is older than that, the radio will have to be removed to get the serial number. It will be on a sticker on the radio. Depending on the dealer and their labor rate it can cost anywhere from $50-100. Still cheaper than a new radio+cost to install.
