Default Bose Anti Theft Code

I've read the manual more than a few times. Bought the car a few weeks ago, and I need to enter an anti theft code of my own in case I ever lose the battery or disconnect it for maintenance. Can't figure out the sequence to change it if I don't know the existing code. Help!

Go to the dealer, he can get the code for you, but cannot do it over the phone.

There's several past discussions about the theft lock. I just did a search under "radio unlock theft" and found this one...read the very detailed explanation by Zilla half way down. I don't think you have to worry about it if the code was never set by the original owner. I've never been so lucky.

I'm learning that "search" is your friend. Found the info. Thanks for the prompt help. Jack

You bet, the trick is using the correct terminology. I've found the search here works better than many car sites. It's better than waiting for someone to answer.
