CD player may not be getting enough juice to be able to take the code. 
Try hooking yourself up as if for a jumpstart, then try the code again.

If the CD isn't taking the code, it may have 'forgotten' it and reverted 
to a default.  If you aren't risking locking yourself out entirely with 
too many retrys (read the manual), you could try entering obvious 
default codes like '00000'.

Some lore exists indicating that you can take a code-locked player, seal 
it in a Ziploc and freeze it for awhile to reset the codes.  Sketchy, 
and maybe specific to certain players, but there it is.

As for the rest, sounds like an undervoltage situation.  Lots of 
potential causes, battery may be getting weak, voltage regulator going, 
bad grounding, etc.  This sort of thing, an auto repair place may be 
able to deal with.
