Check your PM box I sent you directions on what to do!! Yes their will be a charge but hopefully it will be a small one and then you will have your unlock code!! Please write this unlock code down so in the future you won't need to pay to have it unlock.
Here is how to get the back up code, just take the numbers to a dealer with the car!!
Obtaining the Radio Display Code (Scrambled Backup Code)
Perform the following steps in order to obtain the radio display code:
Important
In order to display this code, the radio should be in the LOC mode or have SEC displayed before proceeding.
Press and hold the pushbuttons 2 and 3 for approximately 6 seconds until the first 3 digits of the display code are displayed.
Write the numbers down.
Press the AM-FM button. The second 3 digits are displayed.
Write the numbers down.
After approximately 5 seconds or if another button is pressed the display returns to LOC. The display code must be unscrambled in order to acquire the factory backup code that unlocks the radio.

I have the same exact problem, but what do you mean when you say the code must be unscrambled? What would I have to do to unscramble it?
Never mind. Figured it out after searching on google for a while. I'll just quote what I found on unscambling it.
Call 1-800-537-5140. You'll be asked for a dealer code, and the one I have from the forum is 202107; I have also heard that 139010 will work. You may need another if they ever disable this number. Enter this number and then press the pound (#) button.
The 202107 number didn't work for me so just use 139010.
