ddonnik17 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I been reading that this is possible, but can't find it in the manual anywhere. Can someone tell me how to add a password to the unit so i can have an anti theft thingy??? thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 password protection doesn't keep it from getting stolen, it just keeps it from getting used after it is stolen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ritu_o0o Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 As "1loudls" mentioned, setting up password would not help you make it anti theft... but certainly this will add little pain on thief to make it work normally!! Instructions to set up the password is there in the operation manual (my 900BT), I am afraid to say; if instructions are not there in your manual then your system may not support this feature!! good luck!!

ddonnik17 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 one last question. will i have to type in that password every time i start the car, or only when i disconnect the harness/power source n then reconnect it??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ritu_o0o Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 not everytime when you start your car but whenever you disconnect or reset or go into the test mode and come back you will have to enter the password!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Which makes it a lot easier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 make sure that you REMEMBER your password, there are a couple of threads going around of people who have forgotten their passwords. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely! I am one of them who forgot the password... atleast you should share your password with your wife!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
