Anglo-Frenchman Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hi, I've just replaced the steering wheel volume control and disconnected the battery because I had to remove the air bag and didn't want it going off in my face. Long story short, the radio (photo attached) now needs it's code - which sadly I don't have. I've done a bit of web research and there is differing opinion about how to deal with this. I have tried entering a couple of codes such as 0000 or 1234 but neither worked and just locked me out for longer each time. Before I properly stuff it up, I wondered whether there is some clever way to get it going or if it's a case of going to a dealer (who I never use because their parts cost the equiavalent of 3rd World debt) and asking them nicely. Thanks in anticipation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8CAMEL Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Go to landrover with v5 and id and ask for the code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglo-Frenchman Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thanks. Unfortunately I live in New Zealand so no V5 but perhaps Land Rover NZ will do the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierrafery Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 if they dont want to resolve you through telephone and you dont want to go there personally for some reason(maybe it's a bit far or something) for the price of few litres of fuel you can get it online from here http://www.radio-code.co.uk/landrover-radio-codes.html or there are other sites too just search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglo-Frenchman Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thanks a lot and I'll check it out if Land Rovet NZ are unhelpful. I read somewhere that the code is the last 4 digits of the radio serial number but that sounds a bit too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangy35 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Its not the last four digets of your radio serial number, they are unique to each radio. Your friendly LR dealer should not have a problem giving it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglo-Frenchman Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks Rangy35. I emailed Land Rover NZ so I'll wait and see how cooperative they are - or not. Failing that I know that there are a number of radio code cracking websites out there but most want paying - which I resent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglo-Frenchman Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hi. I'm happy to report that after emailing LR NZ, they rang me at 0830 the following morning and provided me with the 4 digit code for my radio AND my EKA number which I also did not have - free of charge. My faith is restored in the marque. Mind you I stil refused to pay over NZ$1000 for a fuel pump which I bought on UK Ebay for 55UKP + 10 quid carriage.
