Mr Runner   10 #4 Posted November 11, 2008 Thank for the info. The thing is... I don't understand how to use it. I'm not a techno geek or anything, it's just that I don't know how to apply this stuff to the stereo.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Little Buzz   10 #5 Posted November 11, 2008 Is it the original fit stereo Vanessa? Mine had the code on a sticker on top of it so you can reset it after a service - which is just as well as I had to get a new battery in Fort William and didn't fancy driving all the way to Sheffield without it.  Get some car stereo removal keys (should only be a few quid) and slide it forward - it's worth a look.  You can also get the code from the manufacturer at a price.  Mr Runner - you must have had the code when it was fitted - are you sure yours isn't on a sticker on the stereo? On one of my cars, it was on a sticker inside the stereo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
