When the head unit is married to the car it exchanges security codes with the TWICE security computer. Each time you activate the audio system the codes are checked and "RADIO LOCKED" or "CDC LOCKED" is displayed in the SID display if the codes doesn't match. The audio head unit, and CD changer, must be divorced from the car before it can be married to another car. The Tech-II test instrument is used to do marriages and divorces. > Any suggestions on what might have happened? The audio head unit is not supposed to forget what car it is married to, so something must have happened to the audio head unit or the TWICE security computer. The dealer should be able to find out as they should have a Tech-II. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
