What is the current state of play regarding *coded* radio sets and
battery changing?

Either know the code & method of entering it, or hook up a 2nd battery
eg via the fag lighter so it never loses 12v

Hmm.. nice little earner for the re-coding shop:-(

Computers manage to survive switch off, why not radios?

Because they're deliberately designed to disable the radio if it's
removed.
Does anyone steal car radios anymore? I happen to have this dead one
from the previous owner allowing a garage to change the battery:-(

Have you asked MrCheerful (in uk.rec.cars.maintenance) if he can
provide the code?

Er no. Can this be done on line? I think the issue arose because the
code recorded in the car handbook did not match the radio fitted.
