Contacting Sony on customers behalf. In chat session with Sony.
Spent over an hour with customer and SONY at the same time. The repair needed may require a shop.
The customer appears happy with my effort but due to several factors the 'repair' is incomplete.
I don't think the customer will require a refund but then I am not sure. I did send the PDF from the manufacturer remotely.

Customer is taking his vehicle into the shop in the AM so we will wait until they look at it to see if we will pursue any further action.

You must have the wrong PIN
To check
The radio SERIAL NUMBER is required for a code
First remove the radio from the dashboard.
Then post the radio make+model plus all the letters+numbers on any labels,barcodes or stamped in the metal casing.
This information can then be used to see if a code can be calculated

be informative with your problem, give much information as you can so we understand fully what is your problem.

You can enter a 4-digit security code as an option after purchase of the unit. If you do so, make sure it is noted down somewhere. If you did select a code (or the previous owner has done so) this must be used when the unit is removed from the vehicle, or the constant power source is disconnected from the unit. When constant power is restored to the unit, the security code must be entered before the unit becomes operational. If the code is lost or forgotten I am afraid the unit has to be re-coded by a Sony dealer.
Hope this helps, Good luck with it.

These are the official codes from Sony, you will need the remote to enter, only one will be required by your unit:

1) DISC+ SOURCE LIST OPEN/CLOSE
2) OFF SOURCE ATT OPEN/CLOSE
3) MODE PTY/DSPL SOUND OPEN/CLOSE
4) SOUND MODE ATT OPEN/CLOSE
5) MENU ENTER MODE OPEN/CLOSE
6) SEEK- SEEK+ MODE OPEN/CLOSE
7) OFF PTY/DSPL MODE OPEN/CLOSE


Let us know how you get on

Hello,

You will need to get the papers that came with your car, search all the documents that came with the car, the code to reset your car radio is written on one of the documents that came with your car. If you cannot get it, you will need to get the serial number on your radio and contact the dealer for the reset code, because, the dealers have the reset code, but you will need to tender prove of ownership before this can be done.

Can you provide me the serial number of your car radio,maybe i can suggest a code that may work.

Take care.

Radio code is specific for each and every car. It is specific like anti theft code.

You can get it by providing your VIN# and registration details in authorised dealership. Nobody else can provide you. If anybody can provide you that , then there is no meaning of security for your car..

Remove the radio from the dashboard

Then post all the letters+numbers on any labels or stamped in the metal casing
