A credit sized card that should have come with your car. It contains various codes for immobilser, radio, CD multichanger, key number  etc

ahh, didnt get one with my car. got a post it note with radio, key, and immobiliser code though

silly question but why would anyone want to pay for a radio code? would it not be better (and probably cheaper) to get an aftermarket unit?  ;D unless its something else and im being a 'tard  :D

Sometimes it's easier to get the OE unit working properly. Besides, most (not all DaveDND ;)) aftermarket radios I've seen are aimed at kids with lots of flashing gizmos etc. I usually like OE over aftermarket.

i would prefer the OE radio too if it had an AUX in. Do any standard units have those?

(sorry to hijack the thread)

not as far as I'm aware, Omegas predate the wide spread use of iPods etc :y
