Ok, 1-888-MITSU2005 ..that is the number to mits of north america...they are about ten mles away from me..I recently called to get my radio code because my battery had to be replaced...I just asked to speak to someone that could help me with my caode..The lady on the other line never transferred me just asked me for my vin and serial number from radio..two mins later radio code.....it's that simple...just be nice and say your battery died.....i hope this stops the same question I hear everyday.......

please let me know how this works for everybody!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for that Mr-mkii. Its got to be the number one question asked in this forum and to be honest giving out codes on the forum is probably not the best (or legal) solution. The message is simple; if you need a radio code call Mitsi with your details and ask them! You should only ask a board member if you have an extremmely rare or unusual circumstance (like the guy from Iceland who imported a Pajero from the US and they wouldn't give him a code over the phone.)

i have the same problem with other mitsubishi onwer. your message where to get the code is helpful but my problem is where can i see the serial no. for my radio. do i need to take it out. thanks

Yes.

Yes, the only way to see serial number is to take out the radio...

i disagree i could see the serial by simply removing my faceplate .... and with a small mirror i could get the modle number...

but thank you alot this worked great for me ,,

Perfect this is exactly what I needed. Thank you very much!

Hi mr_mkii: I am just with the same problem suffered by the guy out of the country. I am located in Guatemala City and our Mitsu dealer puts a face like this :P when I asked for a radio code. And the US Mitsu lady would go :offtopic:
If, but only if you would be willing, I would Email you, my VIN number and radio Serial. Also a photo of myself standing next to my beloved Mirage SD.
Then you would call the tender lady at Mitsu and get the code for me.
You can get to http://medialab.galileo.edu and check I am the actual director of this university Medialab. and my Email is: meaparicio@galileo.edu

If you don't feel like helping me then it will be very expensive :grin: to buy plane tickets just to get my radio code.

Thanks for what you've done so far.

Is that number correct? It's not formated right? It has to many digits. I tried calling I get an error.

Uh.. drop the extra digits?

How difficult is it to remove the faceplate from the stereo? My wife has a 2001 Eclipse RS and I want to remove it w/o any scratches...any ideas??

I know from putting custom radios u need those lil "key's" to slide on both slides to move the stereo out but i just havent spent the time to see about removing it here

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks guys/gals

hey dude
did you get your radio code? I have 1994 montero sr and I just called mitsubishi ask for the code. They just ask me with my serial number. Here is the code that they gave me. 6884 or 6012 if this code did not work for you just give me your serial number of the radia and I will try to get your code.

I have this same problem on my 2001 Montero Limitted. This problem is actually how I found this forum :). When I talked to the customer service lady she said that the code was to provide additional security so that the radio doesn't get stolen. I've had several radios stolen out of previous cars, but never a stock radio...it just doesn't seem worth the trouble if you asked me...but no one asked me. I wonder if Mitsubishi still includes this "security feature" on their latest models.

First of all this is a MONTERO/MONTERO SPORT forum. You would probably get better answers on the Eclipse forum don't you think? :P

Anyhow... On my montero there are 2 screws for surrounding bezel that are located at the top of plate (screwed up into the dash and can only be seen from below). Then it's 2 or 4 screws to remove radio. Disconnect harness, and you're golden.

need unlock code for modle # MR337269 REF # CQ-JB6810L GENERAL # 98A63824 please help have a long trip with 3 kids

Hey I just want to say thanks for this information..It was very helpful...now my next problem is how to take that radio out? what tools would I need? any help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks in advance
2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport....

On my 1998 Montero Sport, instead of removing the entire radio, I was able to get the serial number by the following procedure: I'm not sure if they put a sticker on the bottom of all radios.

1. Remove your Ash Tray
2. Unscrew 2 screws that hold a metal plate from the Ash Tray cavity.
3. Remove that metal plate.
4. Look under and you will see the bottom of the radio.
5. A sticker with the serial number can be seen on the bottom of the radio.

I have a problem with serial #. I was able to remove the bezel and get all the info from the back of the radio. This is the info I got

Model # MR587387
Ref # CQ-JB0161A
Serial # 51294
Label # YEFM01883A
And an embeded # on the back FA05669A

I called Mitsubishi with the follwoing info handy and they told me that the serial # I am providing is incorrect. I took out the bezel again, remove the 4 screws from the radio and pulled it out again but 51294 are the 5 digits written next to serial #. Not sure why my serial # is not correct. Any help would be appreciated. I have a Montero Limited 2002 with Infinity Audio system P004

Thanks
