The dealer will give you the code..
You simply have to provide them with the VIN
they email it to Land Rover North America and then they give it to you..
No fee for this service..
They might want to see a fax of the title..

you can probably get the radio removal keys from Walmart pretty cheap. There should either be some slots (almost a half inch wide) or a hole (about the size a toothpick would fit in) on the face of the radio, if it is a slot you will need the european keys (I would suggest the 3 way set if they have them) and if it is a hole it is most likely a 5 sided allen wrench. Then find a sticker (will most likely have a barcode on it) and get the number off that. I would suggest keeping the radio out when you call in case they need any thing else. I dont think an independent shop will have a reader to tell you what your radio code is (that sounds like an expensive land rover only tool that would never be used!!!)

I just called the knoxville landrover dealership and they gave me the code over the phone after I told them my vin number. Didn't cost a thing and I did it in my underwear!

You know it's a good fix when you can do it in your underwear.

I try to do most of the mechanical work on my rover in my underwear... its liberating. I have a leopard-print number that I do my mods in, and a leather "pouch" with zipper for oil changes.

I had this same issue when I purchased my disco.
I went to Best Buy car stereo installation place and asked them to pull my radio with their special tools (which cost $20).
They looked at me funny, so I told them I'd give them $5 dollars to pull the radio. Any car stereo installation place will do it. Just don't let them talk you into paying $40 bucks because it's their hourly rate. Then, get the number off of the barcode and try the number before you put the radio back into its slot.

Good luck
