General bravo radio

[klemster]

I came across an original radio and was wondering is there anyway of getting the code for the radio? I was told that my dealer should be able to find it..is that true? can anyone recommend a good (cheap) cd changer that is compatible with the radio!!thanks!!

if the serial number in on a sticker on the radio (it should be unless its been removed) you can use the serial in a code generator to get the code. i dont have the code generator for these models (because i couldnt find it) but i'm reliably informed that it is available. i dont know if fiat can do it, or if they would be willing unless you could prove ownership.

you need the CD changer that is fitted as standard. the Grundig 6 disk type. it uses the 13 pin round terminal cable. it was fitted to other cars as well (seat iirc).

the radio worked fine..didn't need any code..kind of odd!! And I know any respect you had for me has gone because I put the oringinal radio back in....but i have to admit it looks way better !!

you can stick whatever you want in, its your car
plus you helped me find my rear light so i'll love you forever.

no code needed eh? maybe thats why i havent managed to find a code generator. i'll have to look into this a bit further. :chin:

Not all HUs need one. L and M series don't. Also - the code function can be disabled by the owner for good.

Klemster, what model was that?

 

[klemster]

i thought i'd just give it a go and it worked first time!!

if i was to fit a marea steering wheel with radio controls to my bravo would it be possible to get the radio controls to work??

 

[Tomasso]

Depends on the model - H2 and up have a steering wheel connector in the back.

you would also need to fit the control harness, which will no doubt be a pig to remove from the donor car.

According to the manual, the code can be disabled from the expert functions menu. If you re-enable it I think you will need the code. So in other words, dont enable the code
