I cant see anyone doing it for nothing,same as any other service you have to pay.
The only thing i could suggest is contacting the manufacturer ,there may be records in their computer,only other thing is get it decoded locally,loads of places do it ,have a look in yellow pages its a quite legal service.There are two sides to every story.

the reason I asked was it seems to be the same as mobile phone unlocking - there are various companies on the net who charge to unlock your phone, but there are also several posts here about getting it done free, thought it may have worked along the same lines iykwim.0

I can understand what you mean,i just wonder whats in it for them?i would be interested to know myself!!Last radio i had decoded cost about £20,i had forgotten the code i had put in myself,which would not have been a problem if i had not flattened the battery the next week lol.There are two sides to every story.

I had to take my car back to a dealership. Cost me £20 and it wasn't guaranteed to be the right code. Luckily it was! Not sure that you have any other choice. Sorry
:heartpuls CG :heartpulsEver wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0 -

I would first phone a main dealer for chrysler, it may be that all you have to give is the chassis number of the car to receive the codeAvoid fruit and nuts .You are what you eat :rotfl: :rotfl:0
