security code for the radio [Merged 11-6]

[LowFourteen95]

My battery went dead and the factory radio lost its code. The local dealer wants $ to give out the code. Does anybody know a dealer that will look up the code for me over the phone? It's for a 2g, by the way.

I know how to input the code and where to find the serial number, I just need the name of a good dealer. Anybody got a favorite?

 

[arash15]

i had the same problem as you. the people at duarte mitsubishi did it over the phone for free. I think the guys name is Daniel.

Do you have your owners manual still? My old car had it listed in there but I dont remember it off the top of my head.

 

[glennerd87]

thanks man its in there

 

[impuresoul2k3]

if you do lose your manual, you can always call up a mitsu dealer with your VIN and they can give it to you

I'm looking for someone who is willing to help me out.
I just pickeud up my car yesterday after having it shipped to Europe and the battery crapped out on me, didn't do anything at all. I got a new one from a shop there but my headunit wants me to enter the code and I don't have it.

So now I'm looking for someone who is willing to call that "help"-line for me and get that code. VIN is 4A3AK54F7WE094848.
Anyone wanting to help me out ? Would really appreciate it.

Did you try contacting the person you bought the car from, since they were probably the one that set it.

 

[SkyLineGtR-R34]

the only way u gonna get it is by calling the dealer or the person who previously had it

Call your nearest mitsubishi dealership. Provide them with your VIN number or the numbers (not sure which row) written on top of the stereo unit itself.

Once you get the code, use numbers 1-4 to apply the code and the tape button for Enter.

Hey guys I seem to have a problem on my hands, and before I get reamed for starting a thread on something thats been covered a billion times, I have scoured the site to come up empty. I have a 95 tsi, stock radio died, I took it out and trashed it, purchased a replacement on ebay..hooked it up asked for code...no code, contact the seller, no luck...now my question is without the VIN number (since the seller was a parts store not a private party) can I find the code thru the dealer with just the serial number...has anyone done this and if so what dealership...or am I SOL and have to buy a new radio??? thanks in advance gents

I just called my mitsubishi dealer and gave them the s/n without giving them my vin.

When you take the plastic trim off from around the radio there is a serial number on the bottom left corner ,I think. You will have to call the dealer and give them that number then they will call you back with the code. That is how I got one for my 95 gst.

 

[zimus]

same here. they just asked for the serial number from the radio.

 

[95talontsiZ]

by chance just in case my local dealers give me a hard time...what dealerships did u guys call?

 

[dsmgrimreaper]

the void code should be the year of the car but hasnt worked for me yet

 

[95talontsiZ]

got the code from the dealer without the VIN! Thanks for the input gents

 

[cagedbull]

could have gotten an aftermarket one for the same price and less headache

Ok, so i replaced my battery in my car, everything fine, then went to turn the radio on, and it asks for a code, i read everything i could and coulnt find anything or the code, and i dont have the original card its supposedly on, so is there any other way to unlock it? or anywhere else the number would be? anything will help, thanks. its the stock radio with 6 disc, tape, and equalizer, just FYI

A mitsu dealership should be able to reference the code off of your VIN and the serial off the bottom of the radio. I was not charged for this but I have heard of others who were charged like $20 for shop time.

I have a 98gsx but I've locked it before. To get the code you're going to have to go to the dealership with the serial number that is somewhere on the radio.

Also if you try too many times it will lock itself. To unlock it there are various procedures. I think putting the key in the ignition turned to on and maybe powering on the radio for 40 minutes reset it. Still have to enter the code after that though.

There are threads about this topic already also. Too lazy to search at the moment but they will basically reiterate what I said above.
