The code itself is tied directly to the radio's unique serial number. When you first power on a locked radio, the display will show "CODE," indicating it is waiting for this passkey. Many owners lose the small identification card that came with their owner's manual where this code was originally written, leading to a frantic search for a solution. Entering the wrong code multiple times can sometimes worsen the issue, causing the unit to display "OFF" or lock you out for a period of time.

You enter the serial number and model into the "generator" site. Payment/Retrieval:
