My radio always locks out when the battery dies. We were given the code but its been misplaced and now they want to charge $75. Is there a place to get it? thank you!

Thats the theft deterent....If you don't have the pass code written down, you can get it at the car dealer.

Some of them charge a $75 fee.

If the battery voltage goes down dead as when you tried to start the codes have reset. it is easier to get help from your dealer ship as the codes are given to the client when the car is sold. it will be in the database of the car.
if not get help from the links below:

the only way to fix this is by obtaining a code from the radio manufacture, or possibly honda when u call the dealership have your vin# handy. they will need it to acesess your code. this info is free of charge from both Honda and the radio manufacturer.

You have to pull the radio and get the serial number. The dealer can look up the code given the radio serial number. If they want to charge you for this service, find another dealer.

Code is specific to your vehicle .. Dealers are not supposed to charge for unlocking and they should have given you the code to write down in your owners manual.

The easy way is to find your hand book in the glove box, the code should be in the book. Next, you will have to take out the radio far enough to see a label and retrieve any numbers on that label, (ie model and serial) numbers. Locate your VIN number at the base of the front window, driver side. If you can't read your VIN off the window, you will have it on your proof of insurance and title as well. Write all these numbers down and call GM -- GMC 1-800-462-8782 -- They will give you the unlock code and give you help with putting the code in the radio. . -- You can always try the last 4 digits of the VIN.

that would be the security code that is meant to protect the radio from being stolen. This is usually provided on a plastic card when you buy the car. In case you don't have it, you will have to go in person to your honda place and identify yourself as the owner.

As soon as the power is cut off to the radio (ie, the battery dies or the radio is ripped out of the dashboard) the radio gets locked. This is when you need the code.

Good luck.

Well any place that services Mitsubishi's can give you the code, like your local Mitsubishi dealership.. but in order to give you the unlock code - you need to give them the serial number off the back of your radio.

Yeah I know. When I spoke to my Mitsubishi dealership's service department they told me that i I brought the car in they would charge me for a half hour of labor (so 1/2 of $75) to find the serial number and do it for me. Then I could write down the code on the owners manual for next time.

Apparently the Mitsubishi software that the dealers have, has a little wizard where they plug in the radio serial number, and the software spits out the unlock code. They said they would give me my code over the phone for free, if I had a means to get my own serial number.

No the vin number has nothing to do with the radio code the dealer has a automated phone number they call and tells them how to retrieve a code and the manufature gets the unlock code from this,try to google radio unlock procedure for the vw passat.

You should be able to call the dealer and get the code for free. They may ask you to fax over proof of ownership. They always give me the codes when I call but I do own a shop. If a shop is telling you it cost 75.00 they are just wanting you to buy thier lunch for the week.
