Could try contacting Alpine?

I am sure I have disconnected the battery in my 99 a few times and never needed a code. Worth a try.

Clarion have a service department in Swindon who will service a radio and disable the need for a code.

May be a bit of an old wives tale but years ago.when scallies robbed radios they would put them in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer for a few days to clear the code.

See my post#5, there may be some truth in it as it gets bloody cold in BC.

I remember that. It worked for very specific radios. Might have been a brand fitted to some Fords? Seem to recall the chip that held the code was temperature sensitive and reverted to some default like 0000 when cold enough. Never saw it first-hand though so might have been BS.

That may be the case but I have an Alpine radio in the 99. Oh by the way, it almost never gets freezer cold in the Vancouver area, not even at the top of our local mountains.
