  • 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.

    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!

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.

  • @RealLifeProductions
    @RealLifeProductions  7 років тому +66

    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.

      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.

    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.

    Thanks for posting.
    Good info. Didn't help me as my radio says unsupported device, but at least I have some info to go from here.
