Default New Stereo and Jumped Battery

Hi,
I replaced my stereo some time ago with a JVC cd player. Yesterday I had to jump start my car because the battery had died. No problem. Then I tried to turn on the stereo and it did not power on. Do I need to use my access code even if I have a new stereo? If so, how - there are no readings on the lcd of the new stereo at all.
Thank you!
Dave

The code is only for the factory radio.
Maybe the fuse in the radio blew.

Hey now,

I recall that when I replaced the factory head unit in The Anvil with a Pioneer DEH3900MP, I actually had to turn it on after installation. You should still have an owners manual somewhere and that may be your problem or you may, in fact,have blow a fuse.
Check the manual for your unit. The one inthe car -LOL

The onlyreason your going to need to reset any codes for your JVC is if when you installed it the first time YOU put in a security code for the Anti Theft that works in conjunction with your face plate.

Good luck and let us know.
