    Default Radios in wrecked cars.code protected

    I was in the wreckers todaylooking for parts and wondered about all the radios left in cars. If i recovered a likely looking one,how would I go about finding out the code that was installed in the radio,is there a way apart from trying all of the 1000 combinations.

    You could torrent "car radio code calculator".

    There are also some sites that charge less than $20, i also think ive seen disks on ebay.

    Ive never tried the torrent though.


    Some dealers can help over the phone (free), some a pricks and charge.

    They may want the cars vin Number, rego etc

    Software calculators may need the serial number off the case.

    Edit; found this enjoy.



    There is suppose to be a ver2 out also, a little searching should dig it up.

    just go to the manufacter, a few years back I had radio out of a ford when the battery went flat, I needed the code for the radio cassette player, so I contacted the local ford dealer, gave them the serial number of the back of the radio and they got me the code.

    If you do get one out of a car make sure you get the vin, it is a lot easier with this from the car manufacturer ie: ford/holden than getting it from the radio manufacturer, which is a huge pain in the arse.
    What happens if I press alt + F4?

    I stole that Radio decoder program too
    SORRY
    I can't help myself when people give things away free.
    The worst part is when you steal those naked women photos.
    Heaps a times they got them dumbarse virusses attached to 'em as well and you don't even know.
    I don't go for them naked women no more.
    Not worth it.
