My dad's got a JVC headunit (not sure of the model, I think it's just a pretty standard cassette jobbie though) that has been disconnected from the battery and so lost the code.
Think I've seen garage adverts for decoding radios, will that work? (If so, how does coding deter the thieving *******? )
Cheers,
Scoobyster

no, that doesn't work. and it ain't a sensible rumour to keep disseminating for fairly obvious reasons, hence I've edited it.

From: Leeds - It was 562.4bhp@28psi on Optimax, How much closer to 600 with race fuel and a bigger turbo?

Code would be last thing you would be bothered about then... could defrost in the microwave though
