Hi pat... bad news I'm afraid. You need to get the code from Eurovox. There is a way to change/defeat the code, but it involves having the thing apart on the bench and actually fitting a new memory chip to the radio that does not have a code. I used to do this if someone left a unit for repair and we were not left the code. I have cut and pasted the FAQ from Eurovox's site for you, Click the link to their code request form. There are also instructions on how to enter the code
And as always, the bastards charge for the info. Sorry I couldnt actually give you a code. I used to have charge $60 to recode a radio back in the day by rechipping it.
Why is my radio not working after the
battery was disconnected/replaced?
The radio requires a security code to be
entered. (also known as PIN number). A security code is either 4 or 6
numbers long for most of Eurovox Units.
How can I obtain my security code?
Download the
Security
Code Request form located in the Downloads section. Fill it out
and send it in via fax or email with proof and payment. The serial
number & model number of the piece of Eurovox equipment is
essential. A new security code card will then be mailed to you and
your details will be registered in our database.
Why does Eurovox charge for supplying a
security code?
Security and administrative reasons. We
enter your details in our database so if you lose it again you only
have to identify yourself and give the serial number and we will give
you the security code again, we also send you a new code card.
How do I enter my security code to my
Eurovox radio/cassette/CD Unit?
Refer to the owner's manual of your
equipment. Turn ignition key to 'Accessories' & a number '1' or
code '1' or similar will appear. Press corresponding preset buttons
as you read you security code. If you have a 6 digit security code,
the display will count the preset buttons pressed. i.e. display will
show '1' the '2' then '3' & so on up to '6' regardless of which
number is pressed. If the security code is correct, the radio will
turn on. If the security code is incorrect, the display will show '2'
or 'code 2' or similar. After 3 incorrect attempts, the radio will go
into 'lockout mode'.
Why has my radio got horizontal lines on
the display & is not responding to any buttons?
The radio has had 3 incorrect security codes
entered & is now in lockout mode. For recent model radio's leave
1 hour (some radio's require ignition key to be on accessories). For
older model radio's, remove power to radio by either unplugging radio
or disconnecting the negative lead on the battery for 1 hour.
My radio will not accept my security
code?
(1) This radio may have been replaced and
now requires a different security code
(2)The security code you
have been supplied is wrong.
(3)This radio has an internal fault.
To check if radio works there is a temporary test code '1111' or
'111111' can be used for most of Eurovox Radio. This only lasts for
approx 3 minutes.
How do I enter security code to my
overhead DVD/Screen combo unit?
Using the <<or>> buttons on the
overhead console, scroll up or down to select the first number. Once
the correct number is shown, press the ENT button. Repeat this
procedure to enter the 4 digit code. As each digit is entered, it
will be shown on the display.
Why does "Code Input Error"
appears on my overhead DVD/Screen Combo Unit?
If incorrect codes are entered for more than
3 times, your Eurovox overhead DVD/Screen unit will show "Code
Input Error" on the display.
Leave car key in the car and
turn it to Accessories for approximated 1 hour, the overhead
DVD/Screen unit will reset itself and shows"Security Input 1***"
on the display.
Good luck... a FixYa rating would be great for my attention to your problem. Cheers mate
regards
Graeme
