I disconnected my battery for about 10 minutes now my car won’t start or crank. Had the battery tested and it’s good. Now I have a locked message on radio. I assume the anti system is preventing the car from being driven. Do I need to take the car to the dealership or is this something I can fix?

Good evening,

You need to go to the dealer and take your registration and ID. The dealer will provide the code and the instructions for you to install the unlock code.
