security code for the radio [Merged 11-6]

[crimsondragon]

Is it honestly that hard to drive to a dealer and ask them there?

First of all i'd check your glovebox for the original owners manual. If you still have that, your stereo's code will be in the first few pages, atleast most are.

Generally speaking, most dealerships will make you pay for these codes because they're generally the only ones who have them. If the dealer you called wont provide it for free i'd suggest calling around till you find one that will, or just pay for it. You'll need to provide them with the stereo's serial number, usually located on top of the radio or on the back of it.

Good Luck

You just need to call a dealer and give them the serial number off the top of your radio. I called luther brookdale here in MN both times I needed codes looked up.

Well bought a stock radio from some guy and he didnt give me the code, so maybe i was wondering if you guys could help me. i dont wanna pay 75$ for the code at mitsubishi. here is my info, i need the code asap. thanks! i will recommend whoever gives me the code if they want.

Just go to the dealer service center. They should look it up free of charge. They won't give it to you over the phone, due to legalities of a stolen radio and such.

 

[stevestevesteve]

well..... u sure? dont wanna drive all the way out there and then have to cough up $. well im gonna wait to see if anyone can get the code for me. otherwise its off to mitsubishi

[chico904]

Your code is 7924

 

[stevestevesteve]

okay well 2 people said the same thing. this is getting me excited. but this sucks i gotta wait for my radio to reset, it says "off" on the screen.

 

[snowborder714]

Just curious as to how you guys are able to determine the code. Or are you just giving him the one for your car thinking it might be the same?

i called the local dealership. i just told him my name and the shop i work at and that i need him to log on to "mitsubishi dealer link" and pull a security code for me. give him the serial and the part number, and bam.

 

[chico904]

I just called my local dealershp and asked them. Some dealerships seem to be a**holes but they were cool.

 

[snowborder714]

Well, that's good to know they'll give it to people over the phone!

 

[stevestevesteve]

Because the dealer you called was a d!ck.

Try elsewhere. Theres no other solution.

Except buy a new deck, because the stock stuff is way outdated.

But if you insist, gotta do the dirty work and call around.

 

[jrohner]

Call a different dealership then. I have called in 2 or three times with no problems at all. All you need is the serial number off the radio.

 

[gofer]

^^exactly^^
you can call mitsu dealers all over the U.S. until you find one that will give you the code... i called Ball Mitsubishi down here in San Diego and all they needed was the serial number on the side of the stereo, not the VIN... and they gave it to me no questions asked.

 

[tony203040]

I'd agree...in the past I've needed to call 2 or 3 different dealerships before getting one that would actually get me the code. I've also heard of success stories with people who have done it online. The only downside to that is these websites usually charge $10-$20.

I have a 97 Mits. eclipse. The radio has Mod# MR372323, REF# CQ-JB6710L, but the ser# says 9704. The dealer says thats not it. It has FA031524 stamped into the frame of the radio but I have no Clue what the code is. Any help?????

 

[joe sobo]

is there any way to get the code from the vin number from the body??????????

 

[ndcjr]

I dont think so. None of the dealerships I've talked to seem to be interested if so.
