I am about to replace my battery, woke up this morning and was dead. It still has enough power for radio, power seats, basic functions.

I am concerned about the radio not working once I replace the battery.

I bought my 2005 used just coming off lease. I have all the original documentation but nowhere listed is the SEC code.

I am trying to save myself a trip to my local dealer $$$ if possible.

Is there any way to retrieve the code before I replace the battery ?

If so , how would I do that >???

Any comments are welcomed .....

You could always get one of those 9V memory saver things that plugs into the cigarette lighter. They work great.

I don't Know if you got the info or not but there is nothing to worry about with the codes I have a 98 GS400 and changed the battery a lot of times (had the car for 10 years) only thing that was a problem was losing your presets. I think the code is only affected when you try to put it in another car I think all the security is directly thorugh the computer so as long as you are hooking things back to the original computer no problem. I also removed my radio then disconnected it then put it back in still no problem
