Default How do I get my radio code?

In anticipation of one day removing my battery or having it go dead for some reason I want to have my radio security code handy.

You will know if it is enabled if there is a red light that flashes on the radio when the ignition is off. It is just a small light I believe next to the volume button (trying to go by memory since I am not near my car right now to look at the radio).

You are correct sir... In fact, I should just disable mine. It locked when I installed the LMC5.. Good thing the code was written in the owners manual....

In case you need to unlock your C5 radio after "LOC" has been activated: click here for step-by-step instructions.

Just the info I was looking for. You guys rock!!! No flashing light. So I am good. The main reason for the question was that fact that I will be installing the steering lock 'thingy' soon and figured that i would be told to disconnect the battery.
