Premium or regular Stereo? Code required?

[monterosheldon]

I've got a 2003 Montero Sport LS with the factory radio, AM-FM and CD player, dash mounted. Nothing else.

Is this unit one which has the anti-theft code issues, or is the code issue limited to the more expensive audio option units?

I've just gotten a SERVICE ENGINE SOON light and I was going to clear it with a batter disconnect, but I don't want to deal with the radio codes.

I don't recall ever seeing a card with the document package, so the radio might not require a code if powered down for a long period of time.

thanks,

Sheldon

Mine was a plane jane cassette deck. It had a security lock on it. Simply disconnecting your battery wont permanently erase that CEL code. You need to get the REAL problem fixed.

i've disconnected the battery lots of times on my 03 limited and have never had enter a code. heck i even took it out for a few weeks and put it back with no code problems. it's the infinity. go for it sheldon
