- After changing your car battery the radio will not work. You did it the wrong way. So now you need to reprogram the radio, and you don't want to break your bank doing it. Here's how to get those tunes going again for free.

This old man has tried everything under the sun, the car dealer wanted 250 bucks to reset everything, and here you give me the answer that worked. I owe you a beer brother.
Hey you're welcome. And thanks for the comment!
3:15 for the actual fix 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
I feel like I’m the only one this didn’t work for😢 does the radio come on rather quickly after? I have a 2007 AM own and country. Battery was dead for sometime and now no radio
You're a genius! It worked like a charm! I'm so glad you posted this! Thank you!
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to pass your knowledge on to us!
I have a 2008 Chrysler 300c and had to replace the battery in my car. I ADDED a Coastal MyGig LockPick to my radio a few years ago (it lets you add cameras to your 8" radio screen, and also lets you view video on the console screen while driving, etc).After battery replacement, the radio would not work, and I had to disconnect the wiring harness from the LockPick in order to reset the radio. Once the harness was reconnected to the LockPick the radio started working again. Hopefully, this might help someone else out who has the same setup as I do. Thanks again for taking the time to "pay it forward" with your great video!
Thanks for your comment. The comments people like you leave on here are very much apriceated because other people do get the chance to hear from other people also, and not just me. Thanks again.
Thanks for this. After no sound or XM on my radio in my 2017 Charger I was baffled. Saw this, put the car in Aux, started radio, fixed!!
AMAZING! Radio in my 2013 Dodge Dart had been out for a year! Didn't want to spend all the money mechanics and the dealerships were asking for then I come across this video! It worked like a charm! THANK YOU!
solomon lott
sir i have dodge dart to can you tell me the way please
Dodge Grand Caravan 2008 owner here. Thanks for the tips ! That didn't work for me, but you gave me hope to solve it by myself.. AND... the solution was simply to press the EJECT button of the CD player. BAM. Radio and CD player are now fully functional. Yeah !
Thank you! this worked for my 03 f150. I had already checked the fuses before i found your video. Awesome!
Was searching for over an hour and this video was finally the winner thanks so much man!
You are awesome!!! The dealer who changed my battery needs to know this.
Yup!
Works!!! I wish I knew about this a year ago...Ive been driving this long without! geez this saved me some time and cash! Thank you!!
I spent an hour looking for how to enter the code on my 2013 Sienna and came across this video. WORKED INSTANTLY!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!
Thanks for your comment.
I set up an appointment with someone to fix it for me then I came across your video. You jus saved me $60 thank youuuu! It works 😊
Bb Lewinsky. very cool! That's what it's all about. Glad I could help.
By chance i clicked and it worked! I got an aftermarket stereo so just pressed some buttons and it worked! Sound mate nice one 👍
Just sat for an hour watching video's on how to get the code back into my Nissan X trail 2008 after changing the battery. logged onto your video went outside and stuck the key into the ignition and hey presto it all worked. I normally have the key in my pocket and if you switch the radio on it won't work. It does now. You are truly a down to earth guy.Hope you enjoy life into your nineties you deserve a long life. Many thanks bud stay cool Mick.
Thanks for your comment. I apriceate it.
@@RealLifeProductions what if its an aftermarket blue tooth
@@matt7iron if it's an after market this might not work. Give it a try, you got nothing to lose.
Good luck
Hey Scott, thanks a lot. I've been without my radio for a few days. I was getting ready to buy a new one until I came across your video. First try and it started right up. I appreciate it. (SUBSCRIBED)
Michael Del Toro .....COOL!
it wont work for me
I don't usually login and comment. But for this, BIG BIG THANKS! You saved my day!
Hey I forgot to thank you for your comment two years ago, especially since you don't usually comment. So thanks for commenting! Hopefully your problem never came back.
This just happened to me as I left my car to go into Taco Bell to get food once I came out and turned my car back on the radio and navigation worked but there was absolutely no sound or anything. I changed some fuse and still nothing, tried this simple step you mentioned in your video then boom it worked lol saved me time and money!! Thanks man!!
My radio all of a sudden started flickering after I changed the battery what can I do to fix
All th these gadgets are nothing but a way to charge us up. Anything to get in your pockets. Tire sensor radio/ start and stall etc
The solution is about 3:20 into video. Before that, he goes over everything he tried to fix the radio. Helpful, but if you want to skip to the answer, drag to about three minutes and 20 seconds... :) Thanks, Scott!! Gonna go try it now! I will comment again after.
Love the accent, worth listening to for the three minutes lol. Cool guy.
Such a generous person to share this!
Thank you. I try to pass along good things whenever I can. Thanks for watching, and also for your insperational comment!
2013 camero, it worked!!! Thanks so much .. good things will be yours😉
Same!!
How I got a 2013 Camaro I can’t turn it backwards it don’t go nowhere
THIS IS GUY IS NOT LIEING.SO I CAME TO MY CUZINS AND WATCHED YOUR VIDEO SO THANK YOU CAUSE IM BACK IN EFFECT SIR.YOU ROCK
You are the man!!! I did this on a push start 2016 chevy suburban and it worked. Just saved my ass. Respect 🙏
Cool! Glad to help, and thanks for the comment.
thank you soo much for this tut...it worked for me on my 03 dodge caravan....with kids yes i need all the free i can get lol!
Wow I’m so empress it really works on my 2010 Honda Pilot, thank you so much sir, I know “thank you” is not enough but really appreciate this video of yours, God bless..
You're welcome. And "thank you" is more than enough. I really appreciate your comment!
Thanks for posting this. I have an '08 Ram and this will probably come in handy somewhere down the road. Meanwhile, it will probably fix the problem with my wife's Beetle radio.
Rick Harris let us know if it works on your VW.
Worked for me after a dead battery and jump start. 2017 Chrysler 300 Sirusxm. Thank you!!
Me and all the world are grateful to you. Thanks
I was asked to write this technique down....so here it is. Put the ignition key in. Turn it backwords. Not forward like you would to start the car. While it's turned backwards towards you, which is the accessory mode, turn on your radio. The radio should come on. You have reset the radio. Do the same thing for your CD player. Once all that is done you are good to go. You won't have to do this again unless you disconnect your battery again.
Good luck.
Scott Prado .....my car radio stop playing after changing the battery it's a 05 Chevy equinox any tips on that
Scott Prado mine doesnt work i have a acura tl 2007
Can the above method work for my Chrysler , Town & Country 2003 that i just change the brain box (ECM)
Eliel Tapia I have the same car
Hold down the left knob (volume) and it should turn on
I have a 2001 Chevy trailblazer and the radio has no power...can it be fixed
You are brilliant! Easy fix after having new battery installed. Thanks. So many ridiculous suggestions out there.

Works nice huh. I'll be showing some more tricks soon. Glad I helped you out.
I swear I thought I was looking at Paul senior.
GENIUS!!!! Thanks Scott!
Thank you. I haven't tried it yet but I appreciate the help.
This worked like a charm for my 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser. Thanks for posting!
Great to hear!
You're good man thank you for that advice you help out thousands of people
Scotty tomcat ...glad I could help out, that's what I'm here for.
AWESOME INFORMATION!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
You rock dude 2017 challenger. As soon as I put it on acc said radio locked please start engine. Radio and camera fixed
Nice!
Thank you for your time to make a video to help us regular guys.
You're welcome. Thanks for your comment also.
Thank you so much! Worked on my 2003 Pathfinder
Amazing! I tried it on my Ford Freestar 2005. It worked!
Tried this and it worked on my Volkswagen Jetta. Thank you!
Cool. Good to know!
Scott Prado how did you do it???
Put the key in and turn it to accessory......then turn on your radio. You might have to do the same thing for your CD player. It's pretty easy. Only takes like 10 seconds. If it doesn't work you might have an after market radio or a radio that didn't come with the car.
Brian Meiers How did you do it because jetta's have no accessory mode???
Thanks Scott! The speakers came for over 30 mins drive and later sieze. However, after it has rained I saw water dripping out of the driver's door when I opened it. So I suspect the speakers are ok but having water trouble.
+Olubori Olanrewaju maybe the wires got shorted out by the rain. Good luck with it.
Worked like a charm thanks!
Thanks for the info. I'm gonna try this in the morning, I hope it works!!
MERTIE123 samehere did it work?
THANK YOU SCOTT!! It worked for my Jeep

Your video deserves a Thank You!

You are awesome, it worked for me and I have a 2013 camaro.
George Malon Cool. I'm glad it worked.
How u did it
This man needs a nobell prize yo.
I am so grateful you posted this. I looked and looked for some video to solve my problem. Some wanted me to disconnect the positive terminal from my battery. Some wanted me to take the volume knob off and squirt it with contact spray. My volume was somehow turned completely up and it was blasting a Hispanic talk station. I went months with no radio and occasionally absentmindedly hit the on knob. My windows vibrated it was so loud. Your video is hard to find but it worked perfectly.
Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you got your radio back!
great comments....saved me a ton of money...
Les
Thanks my an appreciate it always like saving money !! and time...going out to try this.
Thank you! Mine did this after changing the battery in my Sonata and you just saved me so much stress and money! 👍🏻
Google User glad I could help out. Believe me I was stressing out when it happened to me, so I know how it feels.

You're welcome!
i didn't get it kindly tell me what to do ? my car sounds but shows nothing on screen this happened after unplugging of battery wires
Worked perfect! Thanks! 🙏
Great! Thanks for the comment!
Hey Scott, you saved my bacon and I owe you a beer or a lemon aid. Two days I spent trying to get the radio back on. I checked everything online and then the clouds parted the sun came out and you are walking in the snow to your truck. Once I figured out the accent something told me you knew what you were talking about. So thank you . Now do you have a video on keeping the wife happy?
Best ,Forrest
Glad I was able to help. I'll work on that "happy wife" video for ya.
Thanks for your comment!
Thank you Paul Sr.
Did what you said and it worked , Thank You , God Bless you .
Great! Thanks for your comment. I love hearing that my video helped someone.
Wow, it worked. I was about to go in check fuses, and wires and all sorts of stuff. Thank god I did this first. Thank you
Thanks for your comment! I'm happy I was able to help.
Hi guys adding to this. I cleaned the poles on the battery. Took the negative off first cleaned the negative pole and put the cable back. I then took off the positive pole and did the same thing. After that the radio wouldn't work. Somehow something stuck in my mind from years previous , disconnect both poles from the battery, then put the positive on first and then the negative. Don't ask me for the theory behind it I simply don't know, but hey it worked.
Oh my God! So glad I found this video! It worked like a charm! I was actually going to go to the dealership! Thank you so much!!! God bless you!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment.
thank you I will try this in my elderly mom's Buick LaCrosse. O'Reilly's changed her battery two weeks ago and the radio have not worked since then
Hey did you try it? Did it work?
@@RealLifeProductions O'Rilley is the one that messed my radio up., I will never go to them again!!, New battery was installed, Now NO radio..!
I just went to my 2005 Cadillac Deville and, I did work !!! Thanks...
Nice! Thanks for your comment!
You can also disconnect your battery and leave it disconnected for minimum 30 ..( it's an ecu reset procedure)... hook it back up and the radio will work.....I just did it...I was without my radio for three days inputting dozens of codes that didn't work... Easy peasy....👍
Thank you.. It works in my Toyota FJ Cruiser
Thank you for creating this video.

So I followed the steps you left in your pinned comment , and it worked for me , but it only works when the key is in accessory mode. it does not work when I turn my car on all the way . does this mean there's a fuse I should replace ?
