[Guest MyPerfectVehicle]

hi,ive lost my radio code,does anyone know of a link to download this software program,for cracking radio codes?

 

Car Radio Universal Code Calculator

Found a site but it cost $250. Cheaper to pay your dealer a tenner.

[Guest stevebm1]

I have a link email me!

[Masked Marauder]

I have a "link" to one that will calculate codes for Blaupunkt, Ford A/L/C/M, Becker, Hyundi, Volvo 705/905, Clarion and Daewoo.

 

Anyone intersested should PM me.

[djx]

i have this software, anyone wants a copy then email me... john@millerchip.com

[Jason]

Could someone send me a copy.....jay.moorhouse@blueyonder.co.uk

 

I am a recovery technician and this would be handy for some of my customers, to be honest I have never heard of this before. Does it really work?

Done.

[fozzer]

A copy for me please??

[MrT]

It really annoys me to see people who have downloaded this, selling it on eBay for

[Guest EVSS]

not as much as it annoys the people who have it found on there computer as it is copywritten software .even leaves the site open to a lawsuit. :o

[chromedome]

Could you please send me a copy to djbs@btinternet.com.

 

 

Many thanks.

[fozzer]

Sorry meant to give my address: fozzer2002@yahoo.com

That must be a different version then.

As the programs are not written by Ford and contain Ford copyright algorithms, I don't see how the programs can be copyrighted without Ford's consent.

Please Please Please can I have a copy please Dad ?

Always in debt to many never in credit !

As the programs are not written by Ford and contain Ford copyright algorithms, I don't see how the programs can be copyrighted without Ford's consent.

Creation of a bit of software automatically gives rise to copyright. No one's consent is required. Of course, if in creating it the writer infringes someone else's copyright, they might have a problem.

 

Unauthorised use of the software under discussion could (in principle but not necessarily in practice) infringe the writer's copyright and Ford's copyright, depending on the circumstances.

 

BTW, it's possible that a simple algorithm of the type used to generate a radio code from eg the serial no. would not enjoy copyright protection. A bit of software embodying the algorithm would.

obviously from reading this thread some people like to be ripped off by fords charging for a code,the radio belongs to you once the car is purchased not them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

obviously from reading this thread some people like to be ripped off by fords charging for a code,the radio belongs to you once the car is purchased not them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

But their knowledge of the code belongs to them, and any software developed to generate the code belongs to whoever developed it. If they know the code and you don't ...

 

Ford (or the dealer from whom you bought the car) might be under an obligation to allow you to use the radio you've paid for by giving you the code (a legal obligation, I mean - they're obviously under a moral one). They'd be entitled to charge you a 'reasonable' amount for doing so; their idea of 'reasonable' and ours might differ a bit, I suspect. On the other hand, they're not obliged to give you a free (or cheap, or even any) key for the car if you lose yours, are they?

 

Ford and the dealers presumably regard radio codes like spare parts; something which they're entitled to supply to customers at a profit.

 

FWIW, I obtained the code for the radios in my Volvo and Peugeot from the workshops I use(d) for them, instantly, no cost (although a bit of a moan from the Volvo guy 'Not another one, I'm fed up with spending all my time on the bloody computer looking up radio codes for prats ...').

 

I don't think anyone in the thread (or anywhere else on the forum) has suggested that they like being ripped off. Since this whole discussion is about how to avoid paying Ford prices for the code, the opposite seems to be true.

[MrT]

Why should Ford provide a free service to look up a database for those who fail to look after their information?

 

Needless to say the idea of a security code is to lessen the risk of the radio being stolen and the damage being done to the car in the process. By making security codes available, this invalidates the benefit of having one. This benefits Ford as they can sell new windows, wiring and radios.

Just the point I was trying to make, much better put.

[Guest EVSS]

might as well leave the radio on the front seat..... then again as you say im waiting for the thread SO MUCH FOR FORD AND OTHER MANUFACTURES CODED RADIOS MINES JUST BEEN NICKED. all it means is that when you need a code for the radio that the calcs wont work on you will be charge more, . the good news for security is a lot of the newer units that are in production are coded to the chassis no and hence useless to a thief (so no more ebay) (now in peugeots already)

and VW's my OE head unit in my T4 needs either the security code inputing or connecting back into the original dash it came out of in order for it to work after it has been removed or the battery disconnected

[Tigger]

WHY bother with a code when you can take the front off?

Would you really want to nick a ford radio???????

[Jason]

I just wanted to say thanks for the program.

 

I have helped out a customer today that didn't have two schillings to rub together get a 'decent' stereo in their car. One that I might add would have thrown away had I not had the code generator. They were very thankful and I pass this thanks onto Trev.

 

:rolleyes:

And I wonder how many of the critics here have a copy of the TIS CD ???????
