[s-cars] Re: Radio Code

[dave flagg]

This came down from on high at AofA. No one seems to really know why, but
last spring was the cutoff for codes over the phone, if the dealer knew you.
although it may seem like gouging to you, even a full hoour of time is not
worth it to a dealer service dept. They can make a lot more doiing real
gravy work such as suspension, brakes or a t/belt job. It's more a pain for
them than it is fo me. At least they are just up the street, but they still
can't necessarily get it done the same day.It's a pain for everyone.
