  • Changing battery, radio codes?

    I hate to make a new thread for something that should be simple to find an answer for, but my google-fu is not strong enough today...

    My 2001 Bora 4mo has been sitting on the street for a couple weeks with a flat battery. Lights got left on, and was too busy with life to be able to spend time charging it up. A mate came around with a starter last week, but it couldn't deliver enough juice to get the engine turning.
    Haven't tried using jumper leads yet, as I don't own a pair.

    I figured with the battery being dead for a couple weeks, there'd be enough sulfation to cause problems, so a new battery may be in order.
    I've heard that disconnecting the battery will stop my (OEM, tape deck (woo!)) headunit from turning on, and I'll need a code to get it working again.

    How do I get the code? Or is this headunit too old to need one?

    Your code should either be in your manual in your glove box on a card, Or failing that you should be able to ring up a dealership and they should be able to tell you the code. My 01 bora has a code but i don't think it was the tap deck one, Unless yours also has the cd player?

        if the radio is a eurovox you can get the code from Go Technologies. They will charge $22 though.
