how screwed?

[mazdaverx7]

if i buy a camry that has the security code programmed the radio and the person im buying the car from isnt the original owner and doesnt know the 3 digit code, how screwed am i? can i unprogram it without the original code? would you guys think its often rare that the original owner didnt program it? theres no owners manual or anything i can find that someone would write in and keep with the car to remember the code.

IIRC you can call the dealer and they can help you out
just means you cant disssconnect the battery

ok, the guys at the parts department at the dealer and i get along well, so i hope they can help. i dont know if there's a way to clear the code or erase the memory by draining an internal capacitor or something.
