Ed!

[TWR]

With respect, why do you allow Q & Ans regarding radio codes to be requested? I have asked this question before, can you give an answer.

[rov1200]

The editor is more likely to read your complaint if you had posed the question in 'Suggestions'

[society]

with all due respect TWR, this is a question and answer site.

" Welcome to the AnswerBank

Ask questions, get answers from real people. Whether practical or just for fun get answers to your questions."

by the way I have no idea what radio codes you are referring to, don't know what they are.

[TWR]

Society, I take it you are not from the UK it is the code you need for your car radio if lost either by disconnecting the battery or buying a replacement for your car.

[TWR]

That has been done Rov with no result, but there seems to be more & more requests for this issue.

[society]

i don't mess around with radios and stuff of the sorts. not even computer games

TWR i had to bring my battery in to charge at new year cos of the sub zero temps and needing to get to work early doors. Someone on here said i would need the code for my radio after that, if I still have the box the radio came in, and all the instruction books in all 4 languages, (it's a Kenwood from halfords) will the code be somewhere in there? the box is in the back of the kitchen cupboard somewhere.

[TWR]

I can remember you battery prob Dot, if the radio was bought from Hal fords the code should either be o a label within the box or within the Instruction Book, If not a trip or phone call to their store on Longridge Rd NR the Prison( Is that where you got it? Pussy, just think of yourself just been bought a Xmas present costing approx £150> £200 for an expensive car audio, you get it installed at a cost with a radio code the same night you forget to remove the Fascia, next morning the radio has been stolen you go onto sites like AB and see a request for a radio code that resembles the one you have had stolen! have I any need to say anymore?

[TWR]

Pussy, I am not implying that the requests are Suspicious but when request come with the full spec of the radio including the Serial, Model, make & all the info I get warning bells, Even the likes of EBay with radios for sale, the biggest place for stolen radios are car boot sales, I used to help in this area that is until someone stole my wife's NEW radio out of her car my help in that department ceased.

lilsecret - agree with you totally.

We now have a newly appointed Late Ed on here - started last night.

If they are really up to the job you might get a response-but don't hold your breath?

[Toureman]

A few motoring forums I use strictly forbid radio codes to be posted due to low life trying to get the codes of the radios they have stolen causing a lot of damage to cars in the process !

[AB Editor]

Hi TWR. We do remove them when they are reported. You understand we do not filter things posted on the site before submission - we only remove those posts reported by the users.

If you don't report things we'll never see them and thus never remove them.

All the best,

Spare Ed

[TWR]

If requested stupid idiotic answers mdoo I would have asked, with your answer do you condone the requesting of radio codes? I don't think the post I put on implied that the people requesting codes where thieves, neither did I say anything to offend people with what I posted. put yourself in a young persons position, It could be your son or daughter that has not got a lot of money but just received a expensive radio that you / someone has bought for him/her then some thieving basds takes it out of his/her car comes on a site like this to try & get the code! if you find this funny well what can people say, I think your previous answer Say's it all. ( No offence meant by my reply) but think about it.

[cazzz1975]

the only thing that confuses me is lilsecrets post

"lilsecret - agree with you totally."

[sara3]

agreed! a repeat of recent events?

[cazzz1975]

yes...alas the "secret" may be out :o

[TWR]

Hi Ed, thanks for the reply, you are aware of many posts on here that are against AB rules, you are also aware of the amount of things in general that get stolen & where they end up for either a quick sale or someone that has saved up money to buy an item only to find the item has been stolen, a lot of items on the go with codes are expensive radios, the point If I may, of late there are one hell of a lot of requests on you site with ALL THE DETAILS regarding radios, I understand that you cannot monitor every post that comes on here & I know YOU could stop by your letters, to give out a polite request that from such a date ALL radio code requests will be removed because of the increase in radio thefts. If I am wrong in my thinking, please put me right.
