It sounds as if you deck was code protected.
If the power was interupted, then it would lock up until you put the code in or reset it.
Since you don't know the code, the only option is to take it to the dealership and have it reset (unless somebody here knows and will tell you).

hmm...I never have know for Hyundai to use theftock feature. I had a 98 Sonata with the cassette and never even read anything about this in the manual. It isn't listed on HMAservice.com either.

my 97 sonata (also a Y3) doesn't have that.......although none of the USDM sonatas do, as far as i know. i do know, however know that canadian and sonatas in other countries do have this on the newer sonatas, but i've never heard of it on the old ones. if that's the case, then yes, you do have to take it to the dealer.
