This is a cut and paste from

http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/4/124817.html

procedure - With the power on and SAFE showing on the display, press and hold the MODE and SCAN button together until SAFE changes to 1000. Release the buttons and using the first four station buttons enter the radio code.

Use button #1 to change the 1 to the correct code, pressing once will change to 2 twice to 3 etc

Use button number 2 to change the next number etc.

When you have entered the correct code; press and hold the SCAN and MODE buttons together until code disappears and radio comes on.

The key is in knowing the radio security code. It is a four digit number normally in the manual portfolio pack. Mine is on a small piece of paper marked "Radio Information" from the Mfg. Other people have posted that they have found this information in their manual, or on the door post. Others actually mention it being on the radio chasis, yet that would negate the idea of securing the radio from theft. The last choice is to contact the dealer with the VIN or the radio serial number.
