Code for Audio System & Replacing Stereo- Suzuki Aerio 2006

[kesan2009]

Hi, I have a suzuki Areo 2006. After the car battery died, the system required a code. I tried to put in the code, only to find that I am locked out and unable to use the system. The Suzuki dealer says the radio has to be shipped to Suzuki for repairs or I have to replace the stereo receiver. Can anyone suggest a way out without replacing the receiver? If it has to be replaced, are there any restrictions on the type of replacement receiver? If replacement is the only workable option, I am interested in Sony MEX-BT2800. Will this be compatible?

Thanks very much for your help in advance.

did you try runing a code through. i think the factory code is really simple. 1234, 4321,1111,2222,3333,4444. you can only use 1-4 for the code so really there are only so many combos.
