Default On the top of the unit

Pull it out and it will be printed on the top of the stereo (if it is a stock radio)

Mine had been replaced (I bought the car used) so when I tried the code in the manual, it would not work and locked me out. I pulled the radio, and it was a four digit code mixed in with other numbers on a sticker on the top of the unit. Good luck.

Default Get the serial code of the radio and call the dealership with your VIN and they will be able to tell

you the unlocking code. They might charge you something like $15.00. Some have found the serial number of the radio on a sticker in the spare wheel well.

Good luck.
