Changed battery. Radio is locked off. I've done this before but as I'm getting senile I cannot remember how to reset it, and cannot find any instructions. Any suggestions? Driving in silence is no fun.

I looked through my users manual yesterday but didn't see anything related to the radio being locked off. Are you saying that it simply won't turn on? Is this the stock radio we're talking about?
I've had that happen on a Honda Accord but certainly not a VX. With Hondas you have to get a code from the dealership (or online if you can find it).
yes, stock radio, and yes, it will not come on; I cannot find any info on it either but distinctly remember there is a reset procedure from the last time I got a new battery (4 years ago)....thanks for your looking!Quote:

The only other search return that sounded convincing was removing all power to the radio for a few minutes (unhooking battery cable?).
Other than that, you might try calling Merlin at St. Charles Isuzu (800) 727-8066 and ask if he has any info on the subject.
This never happened to my VX radio when changing the battery.
So I'm kind of scratching my head on this one....:_thinking
Did you by any chance blow a fuse...:confused:
