3000GT & Stealth Radio Code Instructions

3000GT & Stealth Radio Code Instructions

Step 1 - Get the code: You need to call a local dealership, preferrably a Mitsubishi dealer to get the code for your stock radio. They will ask for the serial # of the radio (usually printed on top) and the vin of the car. They should give you 1 to 3 codes to try. The lookup service will probably cost you somewhere around $45.

Step 2 - Input the code:

These instructions are from a 1997 3000GT SL owner's manual.
They apply to both the single and double-din head units.

The 4-digit security code is required to reactivate the stock Infinity head unit in the following conditions:

The head unit is removed or stolen, or when left in the following conditions for more than one hour.
The battery is discharged.
The fuse is blown.
Power supply from the battery is disconnected.

Security code input procedure:

Return the power supply from the battery to the normal condition.
Place the ignition key in the “ACC” position.
Press the volume control button to switch the unit on. “codE” will be displayed.
Press No. 1 through No. 4 to the set the four-digit code using No. 1 for the first digit, No. 2 for the second digit and so on. Beginning with “0” the code digit will increase each time a memory pre-set button is pushed. For example: Pressing pre-set No. 1 four times will display the number “3”.
Once all four digits are properly entered, press the “TAPE” button. A beep will be heard and the audio system will be in the operating condition.
If the security code does not match “1 Err” is shown on the display. In a few seconds it will change to “codE”. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to input the correct code.

NOTE:

The anti-theft system will allow three attempts.
The second error will display “2 Err”. When the third error is made, “3 Err” is displayed and then the display changes to “oFF”. If this should occur, the unit will not operate. Contact an authorized dealer for assistance. (Or try the other options below):

- Several Minutes
- 1 Hour
- Overnight

-OR-

Turn key to "ON" position. (One click past "ACC")
