I ahve a 2001 stock radio and if the radio off you press the #1 and 6
buttons at the same time (if I remember correctly) and while still holding
these buttons, press the power button of the radio, it will display a 6
digit code that you can than give the dealer and they will give you the
code. Once you have the code, write it down somewhere. Don't know if it
helps for 2000 models, but give it a try.
