It takes a while, sometimes, for the radio and the rest of the car to communicate. Otherwise you can just type in the access code and be good to go.

I just checked it and now it is working.Thanks for looking!
You may want to make sure you know the code, or if you don't maybe you can now reset the code so you will not risk not having it start up next time.
