delwatson68 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I have read in a Haynes manual that if you disconnect the negative battery lead (for maintenance) then re-connect, you have to enter a security code into the stereo to get it functioning again. There is no mention of this in the owners manual, therefore nothing regards factory code/master reset ( i have no documentation regards a preset code when new/previous owner. Any ideas?

If you need the 4 digit code If my memory serves me it is the last 4 digits of your key code, Or it is the last 4 digits of the vin #. The security code is for the owner to enter and change, It is not factory set. 99.9% of all stereo's do not have a code in place. Personally I wouldn't worry about it.

I was planning some extensive maintenance (only had the car 2 months) and didn't want to go through dealership drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gld98682 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 My 1997 (with standard Pioneer radio) does not use a security code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
