Who is a whizz on radio codes??

[Hal Adams]

I wish to remove a Sound5 Becker radio from a Vito and build it into my MGB.
Trouble is that in the MG when I switch the radio on, it plays fine, then after a minute stops with the word PROD in the screen.
I am told that newer Becker radios are coded to the type of car - ie my radio wishes to see it is in a Vito before it continues, apparantly this also happens if a radio is taken from one MB model to another (?)
I am also told that reading this product coding is not the easiest - does anyone on the forum know how to do this, or know anyone who does? Preferably in the Oxford area?

It needs coding via the Star while the radio head unit is installed in the MB.

Thanks - does it have to be done on the original Vito, or can I put it into any MB? I ask as the Vito is up in Scotland....
But, once coded, does this mean that I can then move it to another car?

It really needs to be the vito.

I don;t think it will work
