Default 87 xj12 radio

So, had the car in for some repairs and tech's had to disconnect battery, now radio is displaying "code". does anybody know if there is a master code to prevent
removing radio ? Hate to start prying around at my panel with sharp objects. Thanks so much !!

Hopefully someone knows a master code. But if no one has that don't start prying. I can provide you with instructions on safely getting it out.

Awesome, my interior is flawless right now and my main concern is that all the plastic bezels and such are pretty brittle and want to make sure I'm pulling or unsnapping in the right direction before applying too much pressure," hence" broken trim. unfortunately no one left radio code on any manuals.Probably not uncommon. I'll wait a couple days and see if anyone responds with a magic code before pulling radio. Thanks for the help. Have a great weekend. misterb.

Make sure to look at any and all tidbits of literature that came with the car. You might find the code. Originally the cars came with a little card showing the code, typically in the packet with the owners manuals.

Sometimes the selling dealer would put the code inside the hood, door, or trunk lid using a magic marker or paint stick. Look for a 5 digit number that has no apparent reason for being there !
