Subject: Resetting radio
   Date: Tue, 1 Aug 1995 10:38:40 -0400

Well, I goofed.  I thought I knew the security code for my stock
radio/cassette in my '91A.  I bought the car used and was getting ready to
install some headrest speakers and had things apart and noticed the code
was written on the top of the radio.  "Great", I thought since it will be
easier if I unplug everything.  Well that wasn't the code (I found out
after two attempts - botched the first try).  In somewhat a panic I consult
the manual and find a different code written in pencil there.  I'm saved -
NOT.  That one didn't work either.  Tracking down the original owner would
be very difficult at this point (if they even remember the code).  It has
been alluded to on this list that someone has the procedure for resetting
the code after it locks you out (the dealer wants $32).  I understand the
desire not to publically post such info, but I would very much appreciate
it if that person could give me a hand.

Thanks,
