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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
