can you give me an idea as to where it would be located at. i looked under the flip down face and everything and this is no button that i can press. would it be inside the actual metal housing? any other ideas?

the closest thing to that i found was a small push button that i had to push with a pick at the lower right hand corner of the faceplate when it was lowered. the only thing that it did was interrupt power to the radio or something like that, but as soon as i released it it came back saying that it still needed a code i dont know if that was it, but i cant find any other pin size holes any othe rideas? i really want to hear my system again :(
