i was just wondering if there is any other way to get the code for my radio with out spending $120 from the dealer?

 

i just removed my headunit and found my handwritten radio code on a sticker on the side of the headunit...it's also sometimes found in the trunk, in between the body and the brace, and sometimes it's in the spare tire well....also, if you still have the original owner's manual, it can be found there too. here's where i just found mine...it was a nice little surprise...

i think the previous owner did that brian
it think its kinda stupid though, u tape the code to the unit

 

i doubt it, the last owner of this car would have no idea how to remove the headunit.

 

the coad should be in your owners book

 

I ran in to the same problem, car was seating with dead engine for over a month, batt went dead. Dealership in NOVA charges $58 though... Why does yours charges twice as much???[]

 

most dealerships charge around 100 bucks to "retrieve" your code...i think it's pretty stupid that they put a lock on it anyway...who steals stock headunits???

 

alot of people actually, at my uncles shop alot of people come in saying they go their stock unit jacked

 

stock units are hard to come by. i have been looking for a delta cc 4 a while
its the only way to have all the sterio operations on the head unit.
esp if u have the stock cd chgr & sub

 

I used to work at a dealership in manheim, when ever we would buy cars from the manheim auto auction i'd say about 60% were missing the stock radio or something broken was thrown in there. when people say that dealers are shady sometimes they are right. if we tried to get the code through the VIN3 out 0f 5 times the radio didn't match the vin.
