TheGrinch Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Is the Bose stereo coded. If the battery is disconnected will it need a code inputting? If I don't have a code (and I don't think I do) what can I do about this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantmitchell Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 You dont have to enter a code when you disconnect and reconnect the battery but the Bose is coded to the car, so you cant just swap them from one car to another without "divorcing" them first!

TheGrinch Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Really. The fibbers at the dealership told me that I'd be knackered if I disconnected the battery.. So it's a load of cobblers then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrinch Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 I have no reason to doubt grant on this but I now have conflicting views. I hope the stereo is coded as grant says - and it makes logical sense that it is. Would feel a lot better if others could comment before I take the battery plunge. Thanks for any further advances from people who can comment from experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 the Bose is paired with the ECU with Nissan NATS system. If the unit was to be installed in another car you would have to get the Bose 'divorced', its not just a case of entering a 4 digit number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 If you do need to get hold of the code, phone the original supplying dealer and they will supply it for you FOC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watshot Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 You can disconnect the battery without having to input the code when re-connected. That's all you need confirming isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
