Unlocking Symphony Radio?

**sixfiveoh** · 07-29-2008 04:21 PM

So my OEM radio broke before I bought the car, it came with an aftermarket deck. I bought an OEM symphony from someone on here, plugged it in, entered the code and have been enjoying my "new" symphony. Well I'm going to be pulling my ABS module tonight and need to unplug the battery terminals and can't seem to find the radio manual anywhere with the code in it, since it will be resetting when I unplug the battery.

I seem to remember there's a way you can turn off the security on the radio? So that when you turn it back on it won't ask for a code, and will just go straight to working? Anyone know?

I noticed on the later units they sometimes won't lock. My original radio did, (pre-facelift) and the only way to unlock it was to bring it to the dealer. I replaced the radio with a aftermarket unit all together.

i think there was a DIY on AW about useing a 9v battery to keep the radio runing and not have to disconnect it completely. i forgot where it was , but ill try to find it!
