Subject:      '87 Vanagon Radio ?

  I've got a problem with the security divice on my electronic radio cassette
> in my '87 Vanagon.  It's the factory item.  The radio somehow came loose
> in the dash mounting and the alarm went off.    Wether or not someone
> tried to heist the unit is not clear.  My SO had the van and she called to
> ask me what to do.  I told her leave it be and I'll look after it when you
> get home.  Well, many hours later she arrives, it's late, dark and cold out
> so I went in the van and removed the unit from the van and it's been
> sitting on my desk now for two weeks.  Yesterday I had some spare time and
> I went about putting it back.  Plugged in all the connectors, it beeped, I
> pushed it into the dash and the clips locked in place but there was no "code"
> message on the LCD screen.  I tried to enter my security code
> anyways but it would not accept it.  I removed and reinstalled the unit
> several times without success.  Finally in frustration I left the unit in
> the dash and called the local VW shop.  They told me that perhaps the
> security system has been damaged and it will cost about $85.00 to repair. 
> Now ! my question is do any of you electronic "experts" out there have the
> solution to this puzzel ?  Besides paying the $85.00  ):-)
