I know this request is getting a bit boring but could somebody please
assist with a VX radio code VIN 6H8VXK35A2L798419.

Thanks in advance.

Just go to any Holden dealer and give them the vin number, They might
charge you for it.

The code will be programmed into the BCM. Anyone with a
suitable scanner can retrieve the code.

I've heard they commonly charge up to $50 so I was hoping somebody had
access to the info. I'll replace the unit before I give GMH money for
nothing!

Unlikely that people with the technology will charge you nothing to do that
though.

Money for nothing?

It takes considerable time and effort to retrieve a radio PIN for free to
everyone who asks, so I don't consider $25 (what most Holden dealers will
charge) unreasonable.

Also, if the code isn't on the system, the manufaturer charges the dealer
$20 to find the code and fax it back, that charge has to be passed on.

I never said there would be no charge. I suggested the
easiest way to do it. Perhaps on his next service the code
could be retrieved then or if he knows a friendly person in
the trade with a suitable scanner then it may only cost a
few beers ;-)

People I know or existing customers I do not charge.

Out of curiosity, under what circumstances do you have to
enter the pin?
When I bought my VSII Calais 2nd hand I didn't get the pin.
The battery shat itself a couple of months ago, and so I was
expecting to have to put the pin in once I got the new
battery in, but I had no dramas at all.

Depends on how long the radio went without power. It doesn't need much power
to retain memory, and if you change the battery in reasonable short time you
won't have to enter the code.

Except when the radio has been changed and the code not updated to the BCM
the scantool is of no use. Happens quite often on older cars.

I have never charged for any of the codes I've given people online, but it
does require time and effort to obtain codes of the system and most people
do appreciate the effort.

Neither will the VIN number ;-) BTW one of my scan tools looks at the PIN
in the actual radio as I have encounter this before. You do need a scan
tool with the Holden security feature activated to do this ;-)

A VX is NOT an older car. IIRC you can even reprogram the radio with your
own code in this model (VY> definitely).

See above re-VIN number. BTW another trick is to remove the radio as quite
often *IF* the radio has been changed then the code is written on top of it
in chemi pen/texta ;-)

It's getting near 10 years old. In "modern" terms it's near the end of it's

Radio changes/repairs under warranty automatically had the system updated to
reflect the new PIN. Unless specifically changed by the tech, the BCM isn't
updated to the new code.

Not on VT/VX.

All the codes I have given out have worked.
Most are not written on the radio but you might get lucky, but whilst it's
out you can get your Holden dealer to obtain a faxback code from the serial
number on the unit from the manufacturer for a neglible amount.

On newer models all that has changed.

Holden can. Alternatively toss it in the bin and buy something decent to
put in it's place. See here for facias and adapter kits to allow you to
use your steering wheel controls if desired.

Is he ever.

The resident carburetor expert who learned all about Thermoquads during

that he left the dealership world 2 years before Ford ever used a

Ah Noddy, you're definitely not a real smart cookie. For a start, the
Thermoquad has been around for a very long time. Chrysler used them from
1971 until ~84. Ford also used them on Falcons from mid 70s to the mid
80s. My first experience with the thermoquad was on F100 Canadian and US
issue trucks in 78-79 in *Indonesia. Bechtel, Dravo and Inco had a huge
fleet of F100, 150, 250 and 350 Ford trucks. My personal runabout was a
F350 4WD equipped with a 390 V8. Never needed to touch the Holley carb
on that unit but needed to rebuild a few on other department F350s - not
an easy task when there is a dearth of spare parts.

My next meeting with thermoquad was in the last half of 1980 in
*Melbourne* where I attended Ford dealer training classes even though I
*wasn't working in a Ford Dealership*. Pretty sure I've mentioned this
before but, as with Clocky, you love to keep repeating *lies*. Do you
really think they will come true Noddy?

What you also don't realise is that you don't need to be in a Ford
dealer to get Ford dealer training. All you need is to work in an entity
that maintains a sufficiently large sized Ford vehicle fleet. The
Victorian police garage is one such entity and I had friends there - one
of whom was Thai and acted as a translator at my wedding and another who
became a teacher at Richmond around 1984. Another large fleet
maintenance entity was the place I worked at which maintained a heap of
Ford lease vehicles - yes, we could do warranty and lease work because,
*unlike you*, we had the requisite *trade* qualifications. We had no
need to *invent* our trade qualifications, *we earned them* by putting
in the time, the study and getting hands on trade experience. That fleet
included Fords from the Fairlane down to the Escort and also included HR
Ford trucks. It also included lots of Holdens and also some Valiants.
Some of the Valiants were equipped with the thermoquad. That place is no
longer there, it's now a large multistory car park along Victoria Parade
in Fitzroy.
>
> He's a legend in his own lunchbox

The lunchbox legend here is you Noddy. You are the one who *deceived*
all the posters in aus.cars *for at least 20 years* by claiming you had
qualifications you could not possibly have attained. Certainly there
exists *no record of them*. 3 apprenticeships, 2 trade qualifications?
Not possible in Victoria in that time frame. Also not possible for *YOU*
since you didn't even meet the minimum year 9 entry level into the trade
of motor mechanics or, for that matter, the minimum year 10 entry level
into the field of *aviation*. That's why you won't front up with proof
of your grandiose claims Noddy, because *you can't*, they were only ever
a figment of your rather vivid imagination. You are just a little
insecure failure Noddy. You likely have always been a fraud, just like
you've always been a failure, and I daresay it's impossible for you to
change. Your insecurity coupled with your sociopathy simply won't allow it.
