Just go to any Holden dealer and give them the vin number, They might
charge you for it.

The code will be programmed into the BCM. Anyone with a
suitable scanner can retrieve the code.

I've heard they commonly charge up to $50 so I was hoping somebody had
access to the info. I'll replace the unit before I give GMH money for
nothing!

Unlikely that people with the technology will charge you nothing to do that
though.

Money for nothing?

It takes considerable time and effort to retrieve a radio PIN for free to
everyone who asks, so I don't consider $25 (what most Holden dealers will
charge) unreasonable.

Also, if the code isn't on the system, the manufaturer charges the dealer
$20 to find the code and fax it back, that charge has to be passed on.

I never said there would be no charge. I suggested the
easiest way to do it. Perhaps on his next service the code
could be retrieved then or if he knows a friendly person in
the trade with a suitable scanner then it may only cost a
few beers ;-)

People I know or existing customers I do not charge.

Out of curiosity, under what circumstances do you have to
enter the pin?
When I bought my VSII Calais 2nd hand I didn't get the pin.
The battery shat itself a couple of months ago, and so I was
expecting to have to put the pin in once I got the new
battery in, but I had no dramas at all.

Depends on how long the radio went without power. It doesn't need much power
to retain memory, and if you change the battery in reasonable short time you
won't have to enter the code.
