JS Auto Repairs - Stereos
Many modern car stereo systems have built-in anti-theft facilities ranging from removable front panels and displays to security coding and even complete removal of the radio from its cage. In the case of the security coded sets, originally pioneered by Philips, a special code number (a copy of which is
contained inside a microchip within the radio) must be entered
before the radio will operate. The idea being that if the radio is
stolen, it cannot be used unless the secret code is known, so
there is not much point in stealing it in the first place.
This idea in itself is quite a good one. However, there is a
downside in that people do tend to forget their code numbers
which does not usually present any problems at first - until the
car battery goes flat. It is then that the problems arise, people
entering wrong codes into the radio causing it to lock up etc.
The fact is that most radios need decoding for perfectly legitimate reasons and not because they have been stolen!
Here at JS Auto Repairs we can decode your radio and supply you with the code. We can also
change the code to one of your liking IE last four digits of your phone number for instance.
