I don't feel this forum makes it clear enough as to wether or not we can ask for Car Stereo Codes... Does anyone know for sure?

 

PM a moderator


Try markyd3 maybe

 

Lmfao

 

Id deffo PM a mod and ask first just incase.....

 

i would also like the answer to this question

 

should b regular posters only

 

it should be Goldmembers only,

the code generator is availible for free online anyway

 

Do you guys think i may have made this clear enough now then???

 

Its nothing to do with being a Goldmember or regular user... its the fact that some of these radios that people are asking for codes for could well be stolen.

 

you could have waited.... ive done the LOT now!!

 

No

 

i'm not sure you've defined "stereo" properly mark, you may need to place more emphasis on that, possibly by posting it up in several places, all at once, i would try when everyone is watching the grand prix and no one is posting

 

annoyingly youre probably not wrong mate!!!

 

on a serious note though, would it not be possible to simply put up a post when someone next visits the site with a disclaimer stating something along the lines of "i won't ask for stereo codes on this forum, doing so may reslut in an infraction/ban" etc?

that way everyone's agreed to the thing and you won't need to do so much posting up in the forums and peeps have agreed when they next visit

 

its fair enough to be honest,
there have been a ridiculas amount of code requests over the past 6mths.

thats alot of money ford have lost by the codes being given out for nowt!


I bet you most are stolen

 

It has been added to the rules mate which any new user is "supposed" to read before joining.

You're right mate... there has been a big increase in requests for radio codes over the past few months... many of these coming from new members who sign up just to ask for a radio code I also agree that many of these are stolen units hence the blanket ban on both asking for a and providing codes on this site.

 

I noticed after i posted in here but couldnt be arsed doing it again photobucket takes the piss

 

Whats a load of bollocks!

Whats a ford stereo worth form the era that the code generator works for, fiver, tenner?!?!

Doubt any code requests have been for stolen radios. More likely traders and genuine requests.

 

You tell that to the fella who recently had two of his stolen from Ford Fair.

 

Im still unclear on this...

 

***

ford charge upwards of £10 plus removal of the stereo to provide a code

some folk join pf to simply request a code

some folk will steal radios and then ask for codes

mark is seeing to it personally that you can't do that anymore beacuse the rules have been changed and he is now "the stereo code" mod just like eagle is the "sig size" mod















*** i have resisted the temptation to tell you to go to specsavers though

 

I won't resist the temptation to call you a daft bastard.

 

actually im that aswell Dojj

 

+1
mate of mine has a car sales hes had 100s stolen in the opast 3 yrs all cd6000s
ive noticed people coming on here for a code then another person within minutes asking then same agin all newbies very suss

 

THANK YOU markyd3 for my infraction, how many do you need to be banned?

 

Why? did you want some more?

 

Sensible question I asked you so a sensible answer will suffice.

 

as would have asking it without the sarcastic "THANK YOU" at the beginning.

 

Touchie for a mod are'nt we.

 

lol if you say so.

 

His Penis is tiny too! Lambchop told me.

 

And he told me he wouldnt tell anyone!!

 

stolen????

LOL who steals ford stereos, i expect most are out of cars and to be put on ebay and the codes are not with the car, i had loads over the years from salvage that went to the scrap and didnt have codes, i just got them from people on other sites as the generators never worked for me

just removing your battery could mean you now need th3 code bacuse you never had the history etc etc

 

Yes or it could be stolen... how do we tell?

 

 

no worry, if i had a stolen ford stereo (worth about £20 i guess?? if cd or £5 if not) i could get the code from a million places so by not getting them here it doesnt really matter

dont get me wrong if thats the rule then people will have to get em elsewhere but nothing will change, i dont ask for em on here but i dont work with salvage any more so dont need to i guess

i would love to see some stats on how many OE stereos are stolen per year, i bet its single figures at most, the spare wheel or fuel from the car would be worth more than the stereo

i have a friend at ford who gave me the code for a stereo i took from a focus st i broke but that takes a few days of pestering to get him to remember

 

I had a spare wheel taken from my New Transit a while ago.
They left the CD player /radio, thousands of pounds worth of tools and spares, a full tank of fuel and in fact the van itself.

Seems they just wanted a spare set of wheels as they had my mate's spare, parked next to me, and another mate's wheel from the same site later in the day.
taking radios is a thing of the past.

 

Did you ever get clarification on this Rick. I'd like to know as i have Ford CD6000 stereo i need the code for.

 

yeah right if someone steals sevral from a forcourt then puts them say on ebay or sells them to another car dealer they will make a few quid people have and will rob things for less money

 

did they cut the cable?
its seems such a daft system, a cable system that is usually knackered after a few years under a van but some bolt cutters will have it off in 10 seconds ta da £100+ worth of wheeland tyres
