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

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
