This stereo is often referred to as a "Married" or "VIN CODED" radio, as it does not have a normal security Code number, but is instead electronically paired to the engine management system of the vehicle it came out of, and as such cannot be easily transferred from vehicle to vehicle, even if it is the same model of truck.

When it is first powered up, it will communicate with the vehicle, and if this has been successful, it will switch on and function in the normal way.

However, if removed and refitted into a different vehicle other than the original one, it will not recognize the encrypted identification of the new truck, and you may find that the radio may not power up at all, or the display will say "BLOCKED".

Reprogramming of this unit is very complex, and because the stereo has to be programmed to the VIN Number of your truck, when sending in your stereo, please also include a clear copy of the Vehicle Registration Document of the intended truck, clearly showing the VIN NUMBER, so that we have all of the relevant information to hand. Please do not send any other paperwork, as without a copy of this V5 document, we are unable to reprogram the radio.

We can reprogram the VIN Number for this radio, allowing it to be used in a different vehicle, but you will need to send the unit to our workshop along with a copy of the registration document for this work to be carried out. Approx turnaround time is 48 hours from receipt to dispatch.

Removal of the radio is fairly straightforward. The removal tools are inserted into the four round holes at the sides of the fascia until a click is felt. The radio can then be withdrawn and the leads unplugged.
