Joe,

You will need the (unique) unlock code....  Provided with radio at time of
purchase, or usually available from manufacturer/distributor on proof of
purchase - NB some manufacturers will only reveal this code to authorised
dealers.

When you get the code (and instructions) put it in a safe place (NOT the
vehicle!) - My Audi is just back from the mechanic and he had the battery
disconnected - and do you think I can remember where I put the code?
