rds means radio data system. most modern stereos will need a security code when battery disconnected or drained so much there wasn't sufficient voltage to hold memory.if its a vw stereo and u ent got the code a vw main dealer should help u out
notify dealer code is part of anti theft system -the battery pobably went dead before u bought car that is what usually does it- if u have manual in it tells u how to retrieve the radio id code which will be needed or call dealer first they can advise, go in with codes and id and vehicle proof of ownership and they will give u code for ur radio

If you can provide the necessary information then your ACURA code is
available here for free

If not then the code will only
be available from your local Honda Dealer or a Decoding Service ...who will
plug in a laptop to read/recode your memory chip (EEPROM)
when battery dies the radio deems this to be that someone is trying to steal it and it goes into anti-theft mode and disables itself u need to notify a dealer the codes are dealer issued because they are considered a part of the vehicles security system call the dealer first will explain how to retrieve the radio id number which is needed
Any time battery is disconnected the radio has to have a code reentered. This is a theft prevention issue. You should have gotten the code if you bought the car new, if not call the dealer and he can provide it.
Re key less entry have no idea but could be same issue.
alot of newer cars have an anti theft system for the radio and when you lose power you have to enter a code into the radio so you may have to call the dealership to get it
I dont know if holden barina uses the same stereo as a US GM vehicle, but if it is a delco stereo (same as US models) then any gm dealer can retrieve the scrambled code and call their automated system to get the unscrambled unlock code. Just make sure if they do this for you to have them disable the theftlock system. With theftlock disabled a dead battery will not cause you any further problem. Hope this helps.
