In any case, " faffing about with the dealer" would appear to be a far better option than trying to do it yourself (imo). No offense but if you f**! it up, well what then? a dose of humble pie and tail between your legs trying to explain that one to the dealer so that they can sort out what is in effect, your mess?, like c'mon! - Just go to the dealer and get it done man!  |
Thank you for your pearls of wisdom , I've better things to do with my time than run the gauntlet of the dealer trying to charge me X or Y for the pin code for something I own and had experience of them doing so . I won't be making " a mess " and they stopped supplying the pin code from 2004 iirc to stop the theft of units but it's not really going to stop it when you can attempt to get them online . I've wasted 1.5hours sourcing the keys to pull it out to get the code off the side of the unit and as mentioned you really need to be armed with the code and your chassis number and from memory the unit doesn't need recoding if it's still in the same car car but does when popped in another car
