Code radio 98 montero sport - 1998 Mitsubishi Montero

SOURCE: radio code

I have a 2001 Mitsubishi Sport. I was doing some work to my battery and my radio locked out. I put a code in that I thought it would be and after 3 codes it would not let me add anymore codes. I took my vehicle to the dealership(no charge) and he went in and got the serial numbers off of the radio and looked into his computer and gave me the code. Of course the radio was locked out. He told me I had to have the ignition turned on for 30-45 minutes and the radio would reset for me to put the code in. I let it sit in the garage for an hour and went back out and it worked. I just put the code it.

Call your local MItsubishi dealership and ask for the service department.
<BR>They have a computer program where they punch in the serial number from your radio (you have to supply the number) and it will tell them the UNLOCK CODE for your radio. My dealership offered to give it to me free over the phone, if I knew my radio serial number. Enter the code using the buttons on your radio. And write the code down, this will show up everytime your radio looses connection to its power source - the car battery.

The only way to get the code for the radio is to call the dealer with the vin number of the vehicle and possibly the serial number for the radio.

Hi Myzoom,

My name is Mike. I've been with the site for just short of two years. I volunteer to moderate postings for abuse, spam, that sort of thing. When I see a one thumb rating (the worst) it gets my attention, so I check them out.

There is a hypothetical situation I would like you to consider:

Two days ago at 3:00am, a crackhead broke into your car and stole the radio along with some paperwork he found in the glove box.

The next day he plugs it in and gets the 'code' message.

'I know', he thinks, 'I'll get the code from FixYa'! I've got the VIN from the papers I grabbed. Suckers...

He gets online and posts this:

"replaced dead battery in 2000 montero sport ltd. radio now says 'code' and isn't usable at all. need the 'code' for my unit. it is the factory model of infiniti cd player. my vin is: JA4MT41RXYP051225"

What do you do?

Now you may consider Kelly's response to your problem as not helpful or you just down rated him because it wasn't the answer you wanted to hear. The rating you gave by the way, is usually reserved for cases of abuse. It is an insult.

For reasons you have superbly demonstrated, not to many experts here provide answers that may cause the Asker to 'Shoot the messenger'.

Kelly provided the correct answer.

It was quoted verbatim from your vehicle manufacturers web site.

And without bothering to even comment, you down rate a person who 'volunteers' there time to help people.

The only abuse here is being shouldered by the person who tried to help you. Hopefully this was a mistake on your part. If so, it can be remedied.

Whether you choose to do so or not, the solution to your problem remains unchanged:

If we were ethically challenged and willing to provide ways to bypass anti-theft devices for the price of a good rating, there-by giving more value to any stolen goods, how long would it be before you really did wake up to the sound of breaking glass at 3:00am?

There is a reason the code feature is there.
There is a reason we don't provide ways around them.
There is a reason you need to contact the manufacturer.

For what it's worth.

Mike
