The service people or previous owner will write the code either on top or bottom of the radio. Otherwise, the dealer will have to tell you. >I have found out that if you pull the radio out.

This is the very reason why you have security people. Humans will often do things that don't make sense. For example, write their computer password on a sticky note and display it on the side of their computer monitor so that they will not forget it. Same reason people will write the code on their radio because if the radio gets reset for any other reason beside theft. The owner will not have to return back to the dealer. I also, had two SAAB and found the radio code written in the owners manual in the glove compartment. >This is the very reason why you have security people.

Yes, when the dimwits in security started requiring everyone at the very large (computer manufacturing) corp where I consulted to change passwords every 30 days and implemented a "history" list to prevent reuse of old passwords, little post-its with passwords cropped up all over the company. :-) > Same reason people >will write the code on their radio because if the radio gets reset for >any other reason beside theft.

Heaven forbid they should write it down and keep it in the house somewhere. > hi, i have just bought a 1994 saab 9000 turbo griffin, i have the vin number > and number etc, from the stereo, is there any where on the net where i can [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > thanks, > mark Call the dealer with your vin. They'll tell you. At least in the US they do.
