Theftlock activated/ do not know code

[Tom's 99TA]

Is there a way to unlock the radio if you do not know the code? I just purchased a TA and changed out the battery. Today is Saturday and the service department at the dealership is closed.

Theftloc Bypass

1. Press and hold presets 2 & 3 for about 10 seconds until the first 3 digits of the display code are displayed
2. Write the numbers down.
3. Press the AM FM button, write down the next 3 numbers
4. Call 1-800-537-5140, when asked, enter 202107, press the “button” and enter the 6 digit code from the radio, you will get an unlock code, write it down.
5. Go back to the car, press the HR button and set the first 2 numbers, then press minute button and set the next two last numbers, press AM FM button, SEC should be displayed, turn on radio
To remove customers code, repeat step 5. you should see --- on radio face, the code is now out of the radio.

Got that from another site...try it out.

Why even put the code locks on the radio if any thief can do this simple procededure?

Because "any thief" couldn't be bothered to do all that, & that's if they even had a clue in the 1st place.
