there is a help topic posted in the FAQ's here.
Also, thats supposed to happen, the car came with a card that has the code on it, should be with your manual in the glove box.

hold down numbers 1 and 6, there will be an 8 digit code ( 4 will appear, then another 4)
take these to the dealer and they will give the unlock code.
