Radio "off"?

[Glliw]

Hey guys, my factory radio after reconnecting the battery gave me the option for code. I didn't know it at the time since I just recently got the car so i tried a couple of numbers. Of course they were all wrong. hah. But anyways, now the radio instead of saying "CODE" it says "off". How do I get it to give me the option of "CODE" again?

Hmm left it off for about 45-50 mins and didn't remedy it. Do you think it would need longer? I'm going to go ahead and leave it off til tomorrow around 3:00PM when I get home and if that's not long enough then it definitely isn't the answer.

did you check your owners manual?

The guy I got it from didn't have it...I do have a Haynes manual i suppose I could check again...briefly skimmed it and dont believe i saw anything though.

The dealership should be able to look up your VIN or a serial number on the back of the radio and tell you the code.

It's not the code I need. I have that. I need to get the radio to let me put it in.

ACC on with the radio on for about 45 minutes clears it.

If you put in the wrong code more the 3 times i think, it is not possibly to turn it on. You get 3 shots before it shuts off and isnt able to be turned back on..atleast thats what the dealership told me

Thanks. DSMCamaro, I'll definitely try that when I get home tonight.

You need to drive around for I beleive an hour or something with it on saying off and it will reset itself. You dont need to take the abattery off
