Stock Stereo Anti-theft System
Hey all,
Stupid me set the security code in my stereo when I bought it in 97.
Tonight I was working on the Toy and had to remove the stereo. I totally forgot that I set the damn code. The manual advises that after the 10th attempt, "HELP", will appear on the display and render the stereo inoperable. At this time , the anti-theft light also comes on. If this occurs, the only choice you have is to contact the Toy dealer.
Well fellas (and ladies), Im down to two.
Do any of you know what the dealer does to clear it? If so is it possible to do it ourselves?
Help Obe One!!

I am not sure how true this is but apparently if you stick it in the freezer for 24 hours it is suposed to reset them but it could be a myth about how to cool off a "hot" stereo .

Thanks man. I tried two more times just to get "HELP" to display. For S&G's I tried the first three digits of my SS. The damn thing unlocked for me. Whew. I thought my drive to PDX, OR was going to be a long quiet ride.
To the rest O' ya. Yes I was looking at just upgrading my system but I wanna spend the bucks on other items I want to get done.
I can't believe Im turning this opportunity down. Even the wife suggested it.
Again thanks guy
