Hi 4benzes,
If you purchase a radio that requires a code from someone that did not provide you the code, yes the code can be obtained. If you provide the Model & Serial Number of the unit and let me know I will check my data base and see if it is listed. If not listed there would be a charge to get the correct code. Keep in mind, if the wrong code is entered 3 times the radio will lock itself into the wait state for 1 - 3 hours. If you do this enough times wrong it will lock out for up to 24 hours. Anytime a radio is in the WAIT state you must leave ACC on the car for the complete time needed for it to say CODE again. Or hook it up to a power supply for the time needed. If you do not give it power for the full length of time needed, the WAIT period time starts over. I hope I can help you.
