    You have two choices.....

    1) Take it to be cracked, VX dealer or other.
    2) Take it and proof of ownership to a VX dealership.

    VX charge around £40 for either service and it takes up to 3 weeks.


    My radio doesn't work (since changing the car battery), for near enough the cost of having it unlocked I could get a fairly good aftermarket headunit and a fitting kit, which is what I intend to do should I ever feel like having a radio again.

    There is no reason AT ALL, to encode a radio that only fits a certain brand/model of car and which comes fitted as standard to all of those cars.

    It's an exercise in money making and I refuse to pay for something I already own..... I didn't rent the radio, I bought it, so F**k em.
