So I have no clue what happened. If anyone starts car up and radio is blank but gets anti theft error. Hold the power button for a few seconds.

Now if anyone has any idea why it happens let me know. I am too lazy to look it up tonight. I figured at least tell people how to get past it.

It happens when power is lost to the radio. It is checking the ECU for the right vin number.

If it happens often without pulling the power, something is wrong.

Interesting because it was just parked in the garage for about 2 hours. Nothing else was done to it.

Perhaps your battery is dying?

Or, if it was replaced already, one of the terminals might be loose. You should not be able to twist them without loosening the clamp bolts! (Sometimes, replacement batteries have smallish terminals and require shims.)

Its got the original battery and is about 2 years old minimal miles but live in the cold midwest. I will give it a quick once over tonight. Thanks for the extra things to check.
