Anyone got the magic doodads to find a radio code.... Darn flat
battery...

Well with expressions "Darn Flat" you must be from the UK

Radio type will mean next to nothing to most here.  No car model etc. etc.

If it is a later Fiat then a code is not required (if the unit is in the
same vehicle) as the radio is tied into the Fiat Code system.

Your best bet is to approach a Fiat dealer with proof of vehicle ownership
and they will be able to get the code for you.

Ooops. Forgot this was a generic group..

It's a 2001 Brava.

It's certainly asking for a 4-digit radio code, and I don't have one :-(

:-( I was hoping for help, guessing that they'll charge me £20 for the
priviledge.

There seem to be loads of 'radio code generators' around on the net, and
some posts appear to request and have a code given out as answer. I was
just hoping some kind soul might be able to help...

Cheers.

Tatty Bye!

Brava 2001.  That helps, but I'm not familiar with the Brava Units.

Hopefully somebody will come to your rescue.

If you have a working relationship with your Fiat dealer (e.g. they service
your car or you bought it from them etc. then they should get your code free
of charge.

If they won't then I would approach Fiat customer relations (they have a
free 0800 number) and ask them to get it for you.  If they give you a hard
time then given them a hard time back,  Its Your car, Your code(s) that Fiat
chose to squirrel away with NVRS (National Vehicle Security Register) and
keep back from the customer.

I've had a long run-in with Fiat in the past over NVSR procedures and they
are perfectly aware of the holes/stupidity of some (not all) parts of the
system/agreement they have with the NVSR.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
