STEREO CODE
 

I just got my 99 Montero Sport XLS out of the shop today and now my stupid stereo is asking for the code!![:@] I do not have the original factory manual, bought it used. Now what? Anyone know the code? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Youll need to call the stealership. Theyll be able to get the code for you.

Some dealers are better than others but you have to realize their goal isn't to give you free help or they wouldn't exist for long.

The problem I have with dealers is I've heard so many stories about how they've screwed up things.

As for finding this site.. you really should do a more extensive searching online. There are at least 3-4 decent english speaking montero forums and this site is in the 3rd spot based on content and activity IMHO. Do a yahoo search for...

mitsubishi montero forum

The top 3 Montero forum sites come up on the very 1st page.
