I bought my 94 Del Sol in August, and it came with absolutely no paperwork - and that includes the security code for the stock radio.
After my battery died three days ago (left lights on), I got the infamous "code" reading, and since I'm short on money, I can't just go out and get another HU.
I called the shop that recently replaced the battery, but they said they had some special device that kept power to the radio for just this reason... they didn't know it, and they said that the only way to get the code without the paper was the pull the radio, get the serial number off the back, and call the dealer. They also said the dealer around here normally charges.
My question: is there any other way to get the security code? Could I use the car's VIN and call a more user-friendly dealership? Is the number located anywhere besides the damned slip of paper which didn't come with the car? Thanks to all... these hour-long silent solo rides are terrible... I can only sing to myself for so long.
