i've had a couple done, ranging between 0 - 20quid, but depends where u go and how its coded, just got to ask around your local ice dealers, can be done on the spot, but need to remove the head-unit, again, depends on the dealer and how busy they are i guess!

Well, my head unit is out anyway because its no good in the car seeing as it doesnt work. I know there is a list of all the codes somewhere because i saw it in the shop i went in today - i can just keep trying different combo's - i think the list is about 20 codes long. I didnt know if anyone had the list thats all.

Doing my head in a bit - all this coz of this code - i should have known better to have kept it somewhere safe really.

well, thats kind of fucking stupid, makes having the security code completely pointless. All a kev has to do is knick it and take it to an ice shop and get it reset?! GAY

Thats not true because on my stereo you have to enter the code in with the remote control - only a fool is going to leave the remote control in the car.

Plus it looks a bit dodgy when you take a stereo into a shop with all the wires on the back cut short too and screwdriver marks round it.
