Try disconnecting the battery again for five minutes to see if that will bring it back to the code request screen. If it doesn't, you'll need to see the dealer. Radios that need codes are supposed to discourage theft, but they cause more headaches for owners than they prevent. It's also an easy way for the dealers to make more money.
