Re: 86 5K stereo replacement (HOW TO UNLOCK A LOCKED RADIO) oops Itried over 3

86 radio with a code?  The first cars to get code radios were 88's and then 
the wiring harness for the radio was different.  Sense you do have a code 
radio though once you try to unlock the radio more than three times it will 
lock up.  The only way to unlock the radio once it is in a locked mode is to 
leave it sit untouched with the power on for a period of time.  This period 
varies from radio to radio.  My 88 Jetta radio did it in 15 minutes.  My 96 
Jetta radio in our quantum took 1.5 hours.  By the way if you ever need to 
find a cheep radio find one that is locked up that the junk yard can't figure 
out how to unlock as most people don't know this trick.
