theres a reset code.. in the haynes manual. If you don't have one, then goto your local autozone to get one. only a few bucks.

If i have purchased the UNIT from someone on EBAY and took it to the DEALER would this cause a problem? if the VIN is not the same?

thats your problem in the first place, the VINs dont match. which is why you need the reset code. the dealer should be able to reset it.

There is no "code" on the '01+ radios. It merely pairs to the BCM of the vehicle it was last installed in. The dealer just has to clear that info from your locked radio so it can pair with your BCM.

In order to properly restore your radio to operation you must first obtain the scrambled back-up code from the radio.
1. Turn ignition on and radio power on.
2. Press and hold presets 2 and 3 for about 6 seconds until the first 3 digits of the display code are displayed. Write the numbers down.
3. Press the AM/FM button, and the second 3 digits of the scrambled code are displayed. Write these numbers down. If the numbers do not change when pressing the AM/FM buttons, then your second three numbers are the same as the first three.
4. Call 1-800-537-5140 and enter 202108 followed by the # key, then enter the numbers that you wrote down from your radio followed by the * key. The call will give you a 3 or 4 digit override code. Write this code number down so you have it if you ever need it again. (if this doesnt give you the right code i have a dealer code at work, which i can look up your unscrambled for ya)
Once you receive your four digit unlock code from me do the following:
1. Ignition on, Radio OFF.
2. Press the HR button until the "LOC" disappears and "000" appears on the display.
Note: if the display does not change from "LOC" to "000" the unit is probably in the "InOP" stage and must be left alone for one hour with ignition power applied. Every three unsuccessful entries will put the unit into "InOP".
3. Set the first two digits (01-19) of the code with the HR (hours) button. (you will not see the zero if the first digit is a zero as in "02" for example)
4. Set the next two digits (00-99) of the code with the MIN (minute) button.
5. Press the AM/FM button to enter the code. The radio will now be unlocked and the display will change to the clock. Continue with the following steps to deactivate the theft deterrent.
6. Press the HR button until the display changes to "000".
7. Repeat steps 3-5 above to remove the previous code and deactivate the theft deterrent system. You may set a new personal security code as per your owners manual instructions.

oh, and he's right about this i do believe. ive actually got the steps to do it with a Tech2 if ya got one, lol. dealer will have to do it unless autozone or the like(or a friend/mech) has a tech2. if they do, hit me up, ill send instructions.
