five digit radio code should have been in manual (on a credit card sized card) that came with car or perhaps written on slip of paper in manual case. Perhaps on a previous owners receipts. You may have to get theradio serial number. However, the dealer may be able to get it with only the vin. Just not sure. I would drive the car to the dealer and ask the parts dept for help. They are your best source, not the service writer.
Trany program will appear when battery is low or car has sat for a long time. Happened to me about twice, but not in a long time. Should go away after a restart or two. If not, I suspect an electical problem, not a trany problem.
