Software Driven Electronics. Most electronic main units on post 2000 model year cars once fitted and the software uploaded to them become chassis specific - in other words THEY WILL NOT WORK IN ANOTHER VEHICLE. These include radio/stereo head units (AUM), CD players (IAM), self dipping rear view mirrors (UEM), speedo heads (DIM) and several others to name but a few. The dealers cannot over write the software in these units. Also second hand integrated key fobs (KIR) cannot be re-programmed to another car even by the dealers. Although these need a software download to be programmed, the dealer also needs the two unique codes that are supplied with the original packaging for each remote. These codes are not kept on record. __________________ MY05 S60 2.0T SE...no more MY16 V60 T6 Polestar MY71 H.S.121-3B-101 http://www.savethetrident.co.uk/ Campaign to save G-ARPO, the last surviving Trident 1C
