original l/r radio

[54j]

here we go again!!!....defender 130 c/c 1999...new to me.
There is the original LR radio in it but it has a security code and I did not get the code when I bought the car. If I press in 1111 it will go on for about 3 minutes. My question is, is there any way to bypass the security code? I thought I would try here before I rip it out and replace...........thanks in advance.

Contact any LR dealer with the VIN number and they will tell you the unlock code. You might have to give a few details, but I can't see them being that fussed for such an old radio.

Did this with the Adelaide dealer and they just gave it out to me.

Scouse could probably help you out.

Yeah what spudboy said. Had the same happen to me when i bought my d2 up in hervey bay. I rang LR in bundy and gave over my vin and had no troubles. Hope it works out. Goose

For the price of a new radio, just ditch it and replace with something nicer.

Maybe he would like to keep it original :)

When I tried that 6 or 7 years ago with my 95 130 the dealer told me they had no info for a car so old:mad:

I don't think I've been to a dealer since.
