sony cd head unit remote?

[sp33d12]

hey, my bro's given me his old sony cdx-m630 cd head unit but he has lost the remote for it, the remote needed is a rmx-117 , i was wondering if anyone had one lying about from an old head init or such and are willing to sell it , as its not functional till i put the code in using it

Whereabouts are you located? i have the next model up cdx-m730 with the remote. You can borrow the remote to put the code in - as you dont need it afterwards.

OR,
You can still buy them from sony - they are cheap as they use the same remote for most of their HU's...

Remotes

This place does all the sony remote controls. You sure you need to input the code using the remote becuase the one for your HU doesnt actually have any numbers on

And apparently my remote is quite different to yours.

this is a pic of the rmx-117 i got this of the ebay item, its got numbers on it and the headunit code needs numbers too

 

[Luke]

ah, stupid website above has put the wrong pic up. Least they got my one right

i cant belive how stupidly overpriced they are, i think the one i need is only the size of a credit card, its rediculess

 

[Luke]

i thought that actually. Heck if they're worth that much i'll sell mine cos i never use it Id rather have £50 than a remote thats stuck in my ashtray all the time

this head units more trouble than its worth.

so far its 20 quid for the surround(i need it no matter what)
10 quid for the cage
and too much for the remote:S, so all in all to buy a remote aswell i culd have got a new head into from halfords for 90 quid lol,


spose there goes my insurance money

 

[Luke]

or sell the given headunit - dont buy from halfrauds but from a few select places online (such as MCS direct) and you can get yourself a decent HU for a reasonable amount of money

i bought my sony one a couple of years ago for £200 (from MCS direct) - when it was retailing at about £450 in halfrauds...

 

[sp33d12]

lol i dont know anyone that would buy it

 

[AppleSei]

stick it on ebay

 

[sp33d12]

i dunno, il see how this remote goes, the thing is its a georgus head unit lol, would be a shame to just give up on it

 

[sp33d12]

i won the remote on ebay for £21 quid, hope it works now:
