Eurovox 6616 Am/Fm cassette radio with security
I picked up a cheap Radio at the wreckers for $10, and last time I just went to Holden and they gave me a code that was for my VIN and it worked for a radio that wasn't mine ?
This time they wanted $50 also they wanted the VIN it came out of as it was on the seat of the car not in the dash I don't have it. The wrecker said I could bring it back but then I would have to pull it out of the dash again.
The point that comes to mind is if one code worked in 2 radios then more than likely there are not many codes per radio type used by Holden so if we get a list of codes that do work against a model type, this would limit the attempts it would take to get a radio working.
Come Holden and Eurovox these are 10 year old cassette radios.
I contacted Eurovox and they will give the code based on the serial number for $22.
As a note :
If Holden are putting hundreds of radios (with pins in them) into cars per day and are also recording the individual pins in the car computers and in a database. don't you think this would be problematic? since it would have to be recored against the radio serial number and VIN for both Eurovox and Holden.
If they programmed the radios after the install with the code then they must be an override code and/or key squence. (other car manuf. do this).
If a batch of radios have the same pin then it would be easy to record the pin against the VIN and Eurovox already have it recoreded against the serial number. We just need the list of pins to batches, model.
Code generators are easy to find for BMW , merc and all other euro cars but not Holden , why ?, probably the same reason you can get acircuit diagram for them.
Ok I've had my whine :b:
