What is my Audio Code???
Hi all, :sadwavey:
I've recently just purchased a RX8 cos it's absolutely FANTASTIC! The drive is stunning, the looks are amazing and the petrol consumption is... err.... theiving? :mdrmed: Anyway, the problem is that I cannot switch my Bose sound system on, as it asks for a code. The climate control, etc works fine... but I can't listen to any cd's/radio, due to not having this code. Now the Mazda dealership told me that it's normally the last 4 digits of your chassis number. So I tried this, but no cigar :suspect: So, my questions are has anybody else has this problem? and does anybody know the solution? Cheers!!! |
Hmm,
I never heard of that -- even after unplugging my car battery i was never asked for a code. I would love to know the answer to this. |
How long have you had the eight, did all the audio components work when you bought it, and does your eight have all the updated flashes?
|
oh, and what year is your 8?
|
My car is from the year 2005... and I was silly, I didnt check if the audio worked, I just drove the car, n checked all the legal stuff... so no, the audio wasn't working when I bought it :-(
I read through the manual and it tells me that customers place a 4 digit anti theft code in. So what I presume has happened is that the previous owner had placed an anti theft code, which I don't know :-( Hence, I was hoping there was some universal code that over-ran the system to get the audio working. Otherwise, I'll have to buy a new audio system. |
Well, to begin with, did you buy from a dealer or private seller? They are two very different paths to travel
|
And to answer your question, I have never heard of this, so if anyone has, I hope they hop in to help you in an electronics way, I'll try to help you in a legal/proactive way depending on the previous question I just asked.
|
Hey, cheers for the notes... I bought it from a private dealer... (they're not mazda affliated) and I hope someone does get back with an answer... no doubt I'll constantly be calling the place where I bought the car asking for the code.
