Sebring Radio reset

[bsuttonmci]

I have a 2001 Sebring and I changed the batt and now the radio will not pwr up, the equalizer lights blink and the CD will suck the CDs in but no pwr on the radio.

Is there a code or some way to reprogram the radio?

Can anyone help out there, is there a fuse link at the radio or is this unit fried?

You're going to have to go back to the dealer and get the authorization code for your CD player to work again. What happens is that your CD player is anti-theft protected from being stolen. You'll have to pay $50 to have the code reset w/ the radio.

Thanks, you are the first and only one who would give me information, I even called the dealers getting no help what so ever, I will push this issue with the service center and see if they can help, thanks again hope it works.

I am having thje exact problem. Car battery went dead. Lost radio, with blinking equalizer lights. Replaced battery but radio still blinking. Also new battery getting drained of power. Can you confirm this is a code issue as two dealers told me "no" when I asked about t code.
