Hello. I just bought a 2009 Maxima SV and the previous owner lost the radio code and I am about to change the battery and am afraid I will be locked out of the radio after.

Whats the best way to obtain the radio code? Dealer?

Thanks,
Andy

 

Hi Andy
Just a couple of points that may help
1, Most of us that have swapped batteries and alternators have had no problems with our Radios (resetting your favorites, sure but it always has worked
2. I personally on my 2009 SV have replaced the battery 3 times with no issues. Same with two alternators.

But to answer directly your question, yes the dealer would be able to provide it with the VIN you provide.

 

Thank you for the great info and advice. I was not sure to be honest. The previous owner just told me its needed when changing batteries and he "said" he wrote it down in the owners manual and guess what, its not there. LOL.
