Hello,
Your radio is often referred to as a "Married" or "VIN CODED" radio, as it does not have a normal security Code number, but is instead electronically paired to the engine management system of the vehicle it came out of, and as such cannot be easily transferred from vehicle to vehicle, even if it is the same model of Car.
When it is first powered up, it will communicate with the vehicle, and if this has been successfull, it will switch on and function in the normal way.
However, if removed and refitted into a different vehicle other than the original one, it will not recognise the encrypted identification of the new car, and you may find that the radio may not power up at all, or if it does, you may find yourself with an irritating beep every few seconds over the sound of the radio.
Reprogramming of this unit is very complex, and because the stereo has to be programmed to the VIN Number of your car.
This Radio is VIN CODED to the vehicle, and does not require an additional code number.
You should see your dealer.
