Factory stereo

[Frank Cloud]

So I purchased a used factory LX stereo because some of the lights do not work on my current radio and I want to keep it original looking. My question, is this simply a plug and play scenario or are there implications with the security system that need to be, or have to be addressed? (Factory security system)

As long as no one input a security code, you're good. Likely as not, no one did.

From what I was told way back when my 80 was nearly new, if a code was input, and you forgot it, and the unit power was disconnected, it's a brick. That was from a dealer, BTW.

For good reason, this isn't done anymore; just another legacy bonehead move along with locking gas caps...

Thanks for the clarification!
