Audio Systems: Car radio malfunction, mitsubushi eclipse, mitsubishi service


Question
i have a question i have a 1998 mitsubushi eclipse. i had put in a new car battery, which reset my radio's security system. i looked in the manual and it gave me instructions. i fallowed them but made one minor/ major mistake it told me to put the car's key in the ACS position. regretably i did not, i had the car on. this allowed me to be able to punch the code in 3 times. but it did not accept it. the manual say to conntate the dealer. but it seems they have not been very helpful. i am very hopfull that youll be able to help me out. do you know a way to reset the security system so i can punch the code in right and get the radio working again? that would be very halpful. thanks for your time.

Answer
Hi Jon!
Just leave the radio on for about two hours and it will allow you to insert the code again, if you are sure that you are typing the code right it is possible taht the radio is not the original from the car, in such case you will need to buy a radio unlock service (google that and you'll get a lot of them) Mitsubishi service is not one of the best.
