phone??

[packgirl]

Hi All,
well got the sunroof fixed. now I have a new ?? for you all, in my 95 4.0 we have a phone that was in the car when we bought it and when we started to play with the fuses noticed that the phone would turn on and off. I know that this must all be a part of the " in -car entertainment" but we did not get the book on this system with the owners manual. so are we able to remove( or just clip the main wire to the phone?) the 1995 phone without disrupting anything else? also the last owner changed the battery in the RR before we bought it and now the radio will not work I have been told ( by the service guy at local RR dealer) that you have to run the RR for an hour to "reset" the radio then put in some code??? is this true and do any of you know the code to put in the radio to make it work? Or where i could find the code?
Thank all,
Mary

Mary --
I have no experience with rangies, but with the disco's, the codes are unique to the vehicle, the dealer can give you the code if you give them your VIN #. Generally on the disco, once you start it up, you can enter the code (check your manual for how to do it), if you fail on entering it, you have to wait an hour for it to get back to the 'enter code' stage.

Here I found this but its for a 99 RR, it may apply tho :

Security Code
SECURITY CODE INFORMATION
To reduce the risk of theft, your audio unit was
programmed with a four digit security code
before the vehicle left the factory. Once activated,
this code prevents the unit from functioning if it
is illegally removed from the vehicle. There are
10,000 different codes - making your audio unit
valueless to a thief unless he has the correct one.
In addition, each unit is further protected by a
time delay penalty system that effectively defies
even the most systematic attempt to break the
code.
NOTE: If an incorrect code is entered, a one
minute time delay is imposed before a second
code can be attempted. Each time a wrong code
is entered, the time delay doubles (2 min, 4 min,
8 min, etc.) making theft a very unattractive
proposition.
Your vehicle was supplied with a Security
Information card. This card contains a record of
the four digit security code, as well as the audio
unit's unique serial number. The serial number is
also stamped into the metal side of the unit and,
in the event of theft, would confirm proof of
ownership.
NOTE: A spare Security Information card is
supplied inside the back cover of the Service
Portfolio in the literature pack. For further
information on the Security Information card,
consult the Owner's Handbook.

Thank you so much. I'll try calling the dealer to get the code.
