Radio Code

If we remove the battery. Do we need a code to get the radio to power up again?

Our Mazda was like this and it was quite surprising the first time we found out about it.

The code is the last 4 digits of the vin# or key code. I forget :whistles:

The 97,98,99 model es300 does not need the code I don't think. I have disconnected the battery and also removed the radio in my 98 and in my friends 97 when I replaced his radio with one out of a 99. We did not loose the code or have to re-enter one. Maybe if you have a different radio, you might have to re-enter the code. Be on the save side and have the code ready in case you need it.
