Both Eurocarparts and Carparts4less have ebay shops which are cheaper than buying direct from their websites, so it's always worth checking ebay!

Well nice new batt now in, Did not have to do the key sync thing 

have a 2005 model radio and the pass code. whats the correct way of getting that code in first time without going wrong 

[Ever Ready]

Here is a guide I copy and pasted

Firstly switch off the radio.
Then switch on the ignition.
Press and hold the AS button.
Switch on the radio keeping the AS button held
Once the radio is powered up let go of the AS button.
A number plus 4 dashes should appear (10 - - - -)
Press 1 repeatedly for the first digit of your radio code.
Press 2 repeatedly for the second digit of your radio code.
Press 3 repeatedly for the third digit of your radio code.
Press 4 repeatedly for the fourth digit of your radio code.
Once your radio code is showing on the display, you will need to store it & activate the radio, to do this press & hold the AS button until you hear a beep.
