Hi all

I posted recently about the USB port on my Bravo that had suddenly stopped working and the advice was to disconnect the battery (via the quick release) for a short time for the car to reset itself.

However, I'm worried that when I reconnect the battery my stereo will ask for it's secret code, which I don't have. When I reconnect will I need to input the stereo secret code?

If I don't have the secret code then where do I get it from? Will the dealers help? (I do own the car!).

All help appreciated.

Thanks

You don't need a code. There just isn't one. The radio is registered on the CANBUS system, so it will only work in your car. No problem disconnecting the battery.

Excellent! Thanks for your help.

Thanks NeilShep. I have a used Bravo 1.4 Dyn 58. I don't remember receiving a code for the stereo. Are you saying they definately don't need a code?

I was resetting the B&M by disconnecting the battery, and the stereo still works. I next need to remove the stereo inc. leads.

Thanks

Then thats the best news I've had all week with this car
Thanks !

i've had the battery off, doesnt cause a problem as its as said above, its CANBUS. stilo was the same. head unit was out the car for 4 years and worked straight away when put back in.

the only time i have ever known it to be a problem with canbus is when the fiat HU in the car wasnt the one from the factory
