#1 of 6 Freestyle keypad code by carolmf Mar 07, 2009 (4:59 pm)
We purchased an '06 Freestyle Limited, but did not have the keypad code. Were told we could go to a dealership and, for a fee, have it retrieved from the vehicle computer. Also that the code could be found on the computer module. Where is the module, and is the code easy to find on it? We opened the access door under the steering wheel thinking it might be there, but not sure. Could not find any information in the owners manual...

Did you get the folder and OM?   This is from the OM:   "KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM You can use the keyless entry keypad to: • lock or unlock the doors without using a key. • activate or deactivate the autolock feature.   The keypad can be operated with the factory set 5–digit entry code; this code is located on the owner’s wallet card in the glove box, is marked on the computer module, and is available from your authorized dealer. You can also create your own 5–digit personal entry code.   When pressing the controls on the keypad, press the middle of the controls to ensure a good activation."   If you didn't get the OM, there is a forum on Edmunds for online owners' manuals.

Replying to: stevedebi (Mar 15, 2009 3:51 pm) Yes, we have the owners manual , but there is no card with keypad codes on it. We were hoping someone could tell us where the computer module was and where the code was listed on it. The only other option is to go to a dealer and pay $$$ to have them hook it up and retrieve the code. Replies to this message: barnstormer64 (Mar 22, 2009 4:31 pm) schance (May 19, 2009 12:39 pm)

Replying to: carolmf (Mar 15, 2009 4:11 pm) I don't think the code is written on the computer module. Instead, it's stored IN it. In other words, the dealer has to hook up a computer to it in order to read the code.

Replying to: carolmf (Mar 15, 2009 4:11 pm) The computer module is located under the steering wheel. The code is on the back of the fuse box thing. I retrieved my code by taking a mirror and flashlight and looking behind the fuse box ...The code is on a white siemens sticker. It is kinda behind the front left corner. It is hard to get to but I got to it in about 10-20 minutes. I laid on my back under the steering wheel. Put the little mirror behind the black box that has pull on it. used the flashlight to shine towards the mirror. Kept moving it around till I found it. Had my daughter write the number down then figured out what it was because in the mirror its backwards. You could also try to take a picture with a small digital camera but, that didn't work for me....good luck.
