my battery went falt and when it got charged the car the radio couldnt work ,so if I bought new car radio will I need the code still for the new one, or will the new one come with a new code

Answer 1

the new one will have its own new code. but you could have got the old one decoded for £10 from a car radio shop

Answer 2

the new radio should come with its own code.
if u forget the code and u cant get the code remembered in any way just put the radio in a freezer for a night and it should be working in the morning without the code:)(never tried that myself but many ppl told me it worked)

Answer 3

The new one will come with a new code. Although most thesedays have the pop off fronts so you wont need a code.
Id go for one of those.
Orpahan boy is correct you can get it decoded for about a tenner. Look in the yellow pages for radio decoding.

Answer 5

the new radio will have a new code. Radio de-coding costs £10 and its easy to find a shop to do it.

Answer 6

Contact a dealer of the make of car and they will give you your radio code. Just need your registration number or chassis number.

Answer 7

no, the code is specific to the radio, so you will get a new one with a new radio.

Answer 8

you wont need a code for a new stereo. only needed for the cars original one. it may be worth phoning a main dealer for your car they may have the code on their data base.

Answer 9

No it already has its own code in it

Answer 10

you should be able to contact a dealer of the make of your car and i believe they could give you one that might make the old one work
