You have a problem. The radio has to be sent to the authorized dealer to
have the ROM changed with one that they know the code. They also have to do some download programming to activate it. They do this to prevent theft of these radios. When the radio is brought to the dealer the customer must show proper identification and proof that he is the owner. Only the authorized service dealer can do this for these radios. The manufacture keeps this very restricted by international agreement. Your only solution without all of this is to contact the person who sold you the radio and get the code if he knows it, or to call the dealer for your make of radio, and make arrangements to have them re-activate it, as mentioned above. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= "Karol" wrote in message om...

I really have to wonder if this does anything to prevent theft, I mean is someone who breaks into a car to steal the stock radio gonna know if it needs a code or not? I'm guessing the average is a stupid teenager or a drunk vagrant trying to get a few dollars to buy more liquor. There's plenty of nice aftermarket units out there that are much more valuable. |

Hi,
Find someone in your area that repairs these radios and go to them, they should be able to do it correctly. Or possiably an Opel dealer if it is an OEM unit they can look up the code by Vin or SN.
