I recently purchased a 1995 Range Rove 4.0 and disconnected the battery. In doing so, I put my radio into anti-theft mode. Disgruntled and dismayed, I restlessly searched for any and all solutions. As many of you may have experienced, there are alot of expensive solutions to this problem-either through dealerships or independent mechanics. Now in all my gadgetry and geekery years, I've learned there is always a simple solution to these electronic problems-and here is my FREE tutorial to reset your radio:

1. Remove your radio and locate either the 4 digit radio code (written by hand on most USED vehicles)
ALTERNATIVE: Remove the radio and locate the serial number. You can search online for the corresponding 4 digit radio code.
2. Hold the BND button down for 4 seconds and enter the 4 digit code. Your radio should begin playing immediately.
3. Pump your favorite song and try not to blow an eardrum!

 

Doesn't sound like a very effective anti-theft method if you can find the 4 digit code online once you've stolen the radio and have the SN.

 

Good information.
