If it's the old Becker thing, I think there is a spring type thing in the back of the deck so when you pull it out, it would tell the unit it has be removed. So, most likely you need to have it reset. Unlike the newer unit, that came with a code card you could do it yourself, the old Becker requires a tool to do that.

It depends on what year you have. Some of the years require the dealer to reset the head unit. Some years require nothing. Some years have a code that the owner/installer can enter.
