Arrow Radio Code

So last night while driving my CEL came on.... Figuring it was the gas cap since I just filled up when i got home I tightened the gas cap and pulled my battery terminals off to clear the code. And of course as Im sure YOU all know having owned an S for a while, when I hooked the terminals back up the radio wont work and says "CODE". I called diz and he explained to me that there is a code I need to put in to get the radio work, its an anti theft feature. He said the code should be in my owners manual, except my car didnt have an owners manual when I got it... Called the Ed Napleton this morning though and luckily they were able to give me the code without me having to go up there. Thank God! Listening to wind noise while driving and having no tunes = not cool

That happened to me when I bought my S - well... it had the manual but where the code was supposed to be was left blank. Turned out the code was on one of those stickers on the underside of the Trunk lid - you may look around your car if someone stuck the sticker with the code on it somewhere.

Some could use this as an excuse to replace the head unit.
