2004 Saab 9-5 Arc Wagon: Radio code?

[Isaac U]

I had my radiator replaced recently to fix a coolant leak (car made it across the country before the coolant system gave up though, so I'll call that a win!). I'm assuming that as part of the replacement, they removed the battery.

This seems to have killed the radio, and it now wants the radio code, which I don't believe I have. This is the original radio for the car, so it should connect automatically, but isn't. Is there any way I can get it to check again, or otherwise reset it without the code?

I'd really prefer not to have to go to mechanic, or have to pull out the radio and pay a website for the code.

Thanks for any help!

You don't have a radio code because there isn't one. You need somebody with a Tech 2 device to reconnect the radio to the car. All the electronic items are "married" to the car's central electronics and removal of an item should not disrupt that but sometimes it does. Sorry but you need a man, or woman, with the right equipment to solve your problem.
