    Default wierd radio problem...any suggestions?

    hello all,
    I just took my car out of winter storage today. didn't realize how much I missed her. anyway, everything was fine before storage, now the radio doesn't work. the little red light signifying anti-theft is flashing, so I put in the code. the display does not light up asking for the code like it used to (or should) as my memory serves me. I punch in the 5 numbers and it beeps like it has taken the code, but no sound, no display. any help is appreciated. BTW the battery was never dead, maybe a little weaker than normal, but I never had to jump the car or anything...also it is a 1995 540ia

    Exit the car and close the door, hit the lock button twice on your key remote and then the unlock button and see if it works. (you do have a 3 button key?)
