My girlfriend has lost the security code to her headunit ;):Q

We have been up to autobarn a few times and they are jacking us around.. saying that its hard to get in touch with sony, etc, etc..

We really need the security code for it :D

Apparently there are 7 different codes :Q

We have tried two so far.....

If you have this head unit then please PM me :)

There are indeed 7 different codes - one for each state IIRC.

Only a VERY select few know these codes, and you are not meant to write them down anywhere for security reasons. A place like Autobarn needs to ring Sony, get in touch with someone who knows the codes, and then pass them to you for your use only.

It's all very top-secret stuff. Although Autobarn has been playing with you, it's probably best to go in there again and demand a code.

It's a bit of a bugger, but if it saves you from getting your head unit stolen, it's well worth it I think.

Well we have rang sony and they won't help us :D They told us to go to the retailer...

Which we did :|:| But autobarn aren't helping us either!!!! :| arghhh!!! :|

Still trying to get the codes ;)

You seem to know a fair bit about this.... can you offer any help???

I can only suggest going into Autobarn and explaining your problem and how long you haven't had a working stereo for and blablabla get them on your side... hopefully then they will help, and if they cant, ask them when they might be able to.

They have a public relations duty to help you!

If I knew the codes I'd give them to you and save you all the fuss ;)... but I dont :D

The gentleman's name at sony is Craig Handley, he has all the codes for the head units, I've lost mine twice now. They want you to go via the retailer for proof of purchase. Can I suggest ringing sony from the middle of the showroom floor, at the top of your voice!

I'm sure you understand ppl not giving the codes out....

FINALLY!!!!!!!!

I spoke to a guy I know at autobarn in penrith and he spoke to his sony rep who spoke to sony.... then the sony rep called me and said he can't give the list to autobarn but he can talk me throught it.... so then I told him to call erin, which he did, and now the head unit WORKS :P:D

Fark that was a nightmare :|

But its all good now :D:D

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
