Hi Guys, my '96 Disco SD just got a new battery, and now the radio needs a code. How do I get one? What is the cost? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Paul. |

No cost. Call a local Dealer and give them your VIN. They can look it up on their system and should give you the code at no cost. I did this last fall. One Dealer wanted me to come in, in person, so I called another and they gave me the code. You only have so many seconds to enter the code once the battery is connected. Good luck! PS, I've got a 96 SD too. |

My radio code was printed on a reciept from the dealer after a service trip once, might want to check any dealer receipts from when you had your Disco in the shop.. Later.. RS |

If you have a good relationship with someone at the dealership (any LR dealership for that matter) they should be able to get the code based upon your VIN. The code is a 5 digit number. You have about 3 or 4 tries to get it right. If you bollox it on all of those tries, the radio locks up for about 60 minutes before you can try entering the code again. Hope that helps, Nathan Hindman http://www.PangaeaExpeditions.com |

No No, I was charged $30.00 for the code. I was so bent and made it known! |
